Pirates

In the early 2000s, Casterman published Pirates, a five-issue comic series that sails into the golden age of buccaneering. Most closely associated with artist Jacques Terpant, the series explores the gritty, adventurous life of pirates through meticulously researched historical detail. It stands as a focused, European perspective on the classic pirate mythos, offering a grounded counterpoint to more fantastical portrayals.
