Cursed Pirate Girl

So...

Who's read it? Like it or dislike it? Don't get the recent hype? Want to read it but haven't yet? Who has a complete set of first print issues 1 through 3?

Basically what I'm saying is...discuss

I have read the first issue and I dig it. It's not my usual bag, but the art is beautiful and charming. Really fun to look it. The story is interesting enough that I wanted to continue, but the art alone is worth it. I picked up issue 3 as well and am currently working on getting issue 2, I want first prints of all 3 for my little set.

I just heard about it...what is the story about?

I have never heard about this either. Is it worth checking out? what publisher is it?

It's about a cursed pirate girl, Doug.

Here's something from the creator, Jeremy Bastian:

Cursed Pirate Girl is an epic fairy tale of a cursed girl in search of her father. The only things she knows about her father is that she will find him on the Omerta Seas, and that he is a pirate captain.

The fantastic waters of the Omertas hold many strange and dangerous creatures and forgotten evils; enlisting the help of two armored swordfish and a parrot with a secret agenda, Cursed Pirate Girl sets out on the perilous journey to find her father among the remaining pirate captains. But instead of a glorious reunion, the scheming of interlopers leads her to resurrect her father's most dangerous foe. When her friends and allies fall beneath the terrible sword and sorcery of this old enemy, it is Cursed Pirate Girl who comes to face her father's bane.

I needed a good today

Thanks Kathryn

It's done by Olympian Publishing. It has an Alice in Wonderland feel to it, in both the art and the story, at least it did to me. That was one of the first impressions that struck me.

It may not be for everyone though. And first prints are pricey and hard to come by right now, but my LCS guy said he would be getting another round of reprints soon. If/when that happens, it will be a lot cheaper to get ahold of the books.

You're welcome Doug!!

The books just feel sort of special, to me. You don't see something like this every day.

The art is amazing. Jeremy Bastian is extremely talented

See, I told you guys.

I think we told you a few weeks ago...

It's a solid read so far for me. Also, the artwork is so dense with detail that it really complements the storytelling in a way that most books don't. To me Bastion has put a ton of work into making this read, look, and feel like a middle centuries comic book fairytale.

Yeah, you did.

You know what's funny? My LCS guy swears he showed it to me last year when it first came out. I don't remember this at all, but when I called to ask him about getting a #2, he said, "I showed issue #1 to you when it first came out! You should have bought it then. I was showing everyone b/c it was such a cool book."

I maintain that never happened, I know I would have remembered. And of the two of us, I think I have the better memory. But it could have happened, especially if it was one of the times I was in the LCS with my 2 small kids running around, me trying to control them while picking out comics.

It was funny though. I need to start listening to my LCS guy, he's smart.

...and so too does Kathryn become a cog in the hype machine...

I've been graced with a Corky post!!!

I like it. I to am still trying to find a HG #2

Great story and I dig the art in it as well

Haven't read it but would love to, Hoping to find some of the first prints at some point.

The art is amazing.

actually got my 2 and 3 today. let a very very nice person keep my 1 for SS.

Sweet! I am looking forward to getting my copy of #2, I don't want to look at my #3 until I can read them in order. It's annoying having to wait.

Does anyone know what the print runs on the issues were?
