Wild Ocean edited by Matt Dembicki is an anthology of short comics about oceanography and marine biology. Topics covered include: sea turtles, sea horses, manatees, among others.

Like Trickster each story involves a different author and artist. How well one likes this type of book depends on how

well one knows the topics covered. For me, Wild Ocean works on so many more levels than Trickster and much of that comes down a better working knowledge of marine biology.

There's a lot of humor tucked in with the educational aspects. There is the sea turtle who is controlled by its passengers. There is a rough and tumble manatee, feared by all the younger ones, who is in love with a pirate.
