Pirates vs. Ninjas Annual

A single-issue annual from Antarctic Press, Pirates vs. Ninjas Annual (2008) pits two of pop culture's most enduring archetypes against each other in a no-holds-barred, humor-infused brawl. Published during the publisher's heyday of genre-mashing mini-series and one-shots, this oversized special gathers the talent most associated with the franchise—including creators like Ben Dunn and Fred Perry—for a standalone explosion of swashbuckling and stealth action. It matters as a concise, high-energy snapshot of the long-running Pirates vs. Ninjas universe, offering a self-contained dose of the series' signature blend of slapstick and martial-arts mayhem.
