I plan to read the entire run. I did a research paper on pirates and Puritans in seminary, so this comic is real treat to read.

I have to give credit where it’s due: straight back to Sabatini. Any stratification of the dialogue that I’ve managed to pull off in this book is entirely thanks to the examplary source material… there’s a LOT of rephrasing in the comic compared to the original novel, but the tone is all what Sabatini laid out way back when he first wrote the book.

I hope you stick around for subsequent issues — the “real” pirate action is just getting warmed up, and we’re in for some great high seas adventure that’s also heavily informed by 17th-century geopolitics.
