Notes

  • Graphic novel with comic-style panels.
  • Epigraph:

    'Out on the wide grey Spanish main
    The Phantom Pirate sails again,
    With dead men from the yardarm swinging,
    As dead as pickled pig -
    And dark swashbuckling fellows singing,
    Or dancing of a jig

    Out on the wide grey Spanish main,
    Tim goes adventuring once again;
    Risking his life in quest of treasure
    Dicing with death and hate -
    On rolling seas that give no leisure,
    With Destiny as a mate.'
