For a hefty fee, elite passengers can experience history with all the modern comforts. The vacation of a lifetime…until the unthinkable happens, and seven children are stuck aboard the ship, alone and adrift at sea. Rough seas and rations are the least of their worries as they quickly realize the real enemy is each other.

DSTLRY is bringing fans high tensions at high sea with their new survival-thriller series, Endeavour #1, by writer Stephanie Phillips, artist Marc Laming, colorist Lee Loughridge, and letterer Tom Napolitano. Endeavour is a character-driven action-thriller, a survival story that combines my two worst fears: the ocean and being on a boat.
Set aboard a historical recreation of an 18th-century schooner, ENDEAVOUR witnesses a group of children from elite families invited on a luxury recreational cruise with modern amenities. When unexpected chaos erupts, seven children are left stranded on the ship and adrift at sea. As supplies dwindle and the children battle the elements, a cutthroat struggle for survival emerges as factions (and double crosses) develop. Phillips and Laming’s maritime epic taps into primal fears and the desecration of societal norms, offering fans an intense, character-driven narrative. In an environment where fear and betrayal reign, each child must decide who they can trust—or if they can trust anyone at all.
Endeavour is about seven children stranded on a historical recreation of an 18th-century sailing ship. It’s Lord of the Flies meets Yellowjackets as the kids fight for survival, against both the sea and each other. This character-driven action-thriller taps into primal fears of the rapid breakdown of societal norms in the face of fear and crisis.
“Endeavour merges the suspense of survivalist classics with a meditation on modern social and cultural norms,” said Phillips. “Marc and I have really enjoyed building this world full of dangerous alliances and suspense.”
“Endeavour charts a new high in Stephanie Phillips’ already impressive oeuvre,” says DSTLRY Co-Founder and CCO Chip Mosher. “This is an unforgettable journey with visceral thrills and literary execution,” continued DSTLRY Co-Founder and CEO David Steinberger. “It’s exactly the kind of hyper-ambitious, wide-screen story that belongs in the DSTLRY library.”
“The original HMS Endeavour voyage in 1768 didn’t end well, and this one’s outcome doesn’t look much more optimistic! I was on pins and needles waiting for Stephanie’s next script, and bringing this vision to life was equally stressful and gratifying. Endeavour is a super-taut thriller and by equal measure a horrific tale that has been a pleasure to draw” added artist Laming.
“This book is not for the faint of heart, as readers will see!” explains editor Will Dennis. “While on the surface it’s a page-turning thriller, the real depth comes from seeing how quickly the veneer of civilization gets shattered.”
