Pirates & the sea · 4 ideas

Four pirate comic ideas.Take one. Make it yours.

A ship, a crew and one lie everyone on board is keeping. Pirate comics are built for big panels — a deck in a storm, a cargo hold with something in it — and a crew is a cast that comes back every issue by definition.

Press start on any of them and it lands in the premise box of a new comic, where every word is yours to change. Then you pick a look, meet the cast, and Panel & Ink writes and draws the first issue.
