DAHL is the comic, as is the name of our heroine: an aquatic beauty who, along with her people, were discovered by a caring scientist named Eva. Dahl and Eva have become great friends, but not all the mermaids fancy Dahl interacting with the surface dweller, particularly the ultra-strict Queen Tora.
From Dahl's "wayward" ways, trouble (and ultimately, a most remarkable physical transformation) strikes, after Dahl presents Eva with a most peculiar object: a meteor, for all intents and purposes, but it holds an unsettling secret, which could destroy the mermaid realm.

Baker's story is as quaint as it is edgy; and his black-and-white illustrations are (as could only be expected) a visual feast: cute and curvy, alluring yet innocent. His drawings are embellished by the sterling talents of Leonardo Martins; Steve Shipley; Jeff Austin; and Marc Haines. The result is a page-turner of Baker Girl wonderment; seasoned with the fast-paced fun of an Irwin Allen spree. A winner through and through!!!
I can't praise DAHL enough and give Mr. Main loads of credit for making it a reality. I recommend that you order a copy, if not only for yourself, for anyone who appreciates high adventure and of course, those lovely Baker Girls, whether finned or otherwise.
