Archaia, an imprint of award-winning publisher BOOM!
Studios, is pleased to announce the October debut of the next chapter of Jeremy
Bastian’s swashbuckling adventure, Cursed Pirate Girl Annual #1. This
oversized, prestige annual is the first installment of Volume 2 of Cursed
Pirate Girl and continues the fiery Cursed Pirate Girl’s journey as she and the
young Apollonia search for the pirate girl’s father, one of the pirate captains
of the dreaded Omerta Seas.
“Jeremy’s richly detailed artwork is a stunning, beautiful
combination of Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean, and 19th-century
political cartoons,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “It’s
absolutely unlike anything in modern comics, and we’re thrilled to bring the
next installment in the Cursed Pirate Girl’s adventure to readers.”
Praise for Cursed Pirate Girl:
“It's easy to get lost inside the pages of Jeremy A.
Bastian's...Cursed Pirate Girl. The Michigan-based artist works with ink and a
very fine brush to create panels that overflow with tiny details. … It's these
intricacies that make a young heroine's quest to find her pirate father all the
more magical.” - LA Weekly
“Although this book is in black and white, your eyes
overdose on the abundant artwork: quirky characters, wall to wall backgrounds,
everything drawn with shading and minutiae. It is an overflowing feast for the
eyes.” - Wired
“Bastian’s art captures 19th-century humorous illustration
and cartoon styles with deliberate grotesques and complex visual clutter—think
Thomas Nast meets Albrecht Dürer...the result is both a beautiful object and an
evocative adventure.” - Publisher’s Weekly
Cursed Pirate Girl Annual #1 contains 54 pages of all-new
story and arrives in comic shops on October 14th with a cover by series creator
Jeremy Bastian for the price of $9.99.
