Ray Troll’s new
book Spawn Till You Die: The Fin Art of
Ray Troll is an exuberant plunge into the fantastic realities of sea
creatures and prehistoric animals that come alive with scientific realism and
his quirky sense of humor. For more than four

part underground comic, his work depicts beautiful and accurately drawn fish of
all kinds, Northwest Coast totems, Freud and Darwin, fossils, resurrections of
extinct animals, and much more.

Troll’s art is deeply thought
