About the series
A short-lived, two-issue annual from Gemstone Publishing, Piracy Annual (1998–1999) collected classic pirate-themed comic stories, most notably featuring the detailed, dramatic artwork of Reed Crandall. The series served as a tribute to the swashbuckling adventure genre, preserving vintage tales for a new generation of readers. It matters as a niche but lovingly curated archive of a beloved comic artist’s work and a bygone era of storytelling.
