Avast, ye curs, whether you’re a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, or classic films like Captain Blood, The Crimson Pirate, and The Sea Hawk, it’s time again to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day—especially since StarWarp Concepts has its own pirate-fantasy comic for you to enjoy!
The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Special is a one-shot digital comic created and written by Richard C. White, author of the fantasy-adventure collection For a Few Gold Pieces More, the fantasy novel Harbinger of Darkness, the noir-fantasy collection Chasing Danger: The Case Files of Theron Chase, the writer’s guide Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination, and the supernatural-superheroes graphic novel Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings.
The story involves Captain Aheera, a swashbuckling privateer who commands the Sea Dragon, a ship-for-hire whose job is to attack enemy shipping and whose crew is a mixture of humans and fantasy types, including the elven first mate, Safir. On this particular mission, however, matters swiftly become far more complicated than Asheera expected, and has him wondering if he’ll be able to pull his crew out of danger—and whether he charged nearly enough when he agreed to this latest job…
Drawn by Bill Bryan (artist of Caliber Press’ Dark Oz and DC Comics’ House of Mystery), and featuring cover art and color by Eliseu Gouveia (Lorelei: Sects and the City, The Saga of Pandora Zwieback Annual#1), it’s 48 pages of high-seas adventure—for just 99¢!
“There seems to be a fair amount of deviousness amongst the crew of the Sea Dragon, but I was greatly pleased to see the heroes using their smarts as well as their swords. Lots of high adventure and old-school artwork make this a fun read for those of us that grew up on Sinbad movies.”—Nth Degree
