Anne Bonny

A bold historical reimagining from French publisher La Boîte à Bulles, this 2023 series centers on the legendary pirate Anne Bonny, exploring her life beyond the swashbuckling myths. The debut issue sets a grounded, character-driven tone, focusing on her fierce independence and the brutal realities of 18th-century piracy. While only a single issue has been released, the series promises a nuanced portrait of a woman who defied her era's constraints. It matters as a fresh, European take on a classic outlaw figure, emphasizing historical texture over romanticized adventure.
