Evil Eyes Sea

Cartoonist Studio Prize Winner, 2025
A feminist political mystery set in Istanbul during the 1995 elections, Evil Eyes Sea tells the story of two broke students who witnessed an unusual death on a scuba diving expedition. As the case deepens, they become increasingly entangled with political corruption, religious pressure, and possibly murder.
They try to return to their everyday lives, but their experiences leave them increasingly entangled with the political corruption, religious pressure, and economic instability around them. Samanci says, "The autobiographically-inspired story I tell in Evil Eyes Sea emerged from my college years in Istanbul, my quirky friends, and my struggles with being a young woman in Turkey's male-centric culture. In this book, I share a window into a country where narrow political views limit personal power - a place that can be beautiful, but also cruel."
