Set Sail For Adventure!
When Captain Jack Dancer first weighed anchor, with the colourful crew of the Red Wench, in the pages of 2000AD, debuting in Prog 1313 (October 2002), some eyebrows were raised…did an historical pirate strip belong in a predominantly sci-fi anthology for the new millennium?
Well we needn’t have worried, this strip had (sea!) legs but was no by-the-numbers buccaneering yarn – as is appropriate for an ocean-going adventure, it has hidden depths…this is the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic™
, after all!
Written by the ever-reliable Ian Edginton (Scarlet Traces, Stickelback, Brass Sun), with the equally exciting artwork of Steve Yeowell (Zenith, The Invisibles), The Red Seas is part Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Conan Doyle meets Ray Harryhausen – a modern take on the pirate genre.
With lost worlds, dark magic, deep sea leviathans, time-travelling immortals and a mixture of real-life & literary figures, this strip has everything, including a beautifully bound, period style cover – and this is just Book One!
