“Root Redwing and the Thieves of Kettle Bay” is an eight-page story about Root Redwing, Sami’s enigmatic auntie, created for the Kraken Komiks inaugural anthology, Cephalopods. This flashback tale takes place in Root’s younger days, when she was a trader roaming through the islands, one of the many who stitched together these far-flung and sometimes isolated communities with news and goods. I hope you enjoy it!
