Description
and I are back with another slightly off-kilter genre story. This time, it's pirates!We're operating slightly differently on this one - Larry pulled a Harvey Kurtzman, providing not only the story & script, but the page layout. It's going to be a treat for me, because it's less work!
Also, I think I used just about every texture trick I know on this page, I hope it didn't turn out too muddy. Rain, smoke, water, lightning, and stinky old pirates.
Hope you enjoy!

Amazing! Sailing ships and their rigging can be crazy-complicated.

Always a tricky matter to balance out what's technically accurate and what actually works on a page. Sometimes a bit of "cheating" is unavoidable.

Β Man, your work is always just so awe inspiring to look at. And, who knew that interviewer Larry King could write awesome comics! Wait, what... it's not *that* Larry King? Oh, well, it's still awesome

Well blow me down! Chris this is amazing! No, better than amazing. You really outdid yourself here, I just can't believe it. I nearly swallowed my tongue. I was fist pumping like no one's business. The water, the debris(wooden and human), the storm, the ships, the Captain and First Mate. I'd buy you a beer right now if I could. CHEERS!

Thanks, Larry!Β Your layout made it better!Β Β I hope I didn't go too "overboard" (so to speak) with the textures, I really just tried to go to town with them.
I am happy you like!
I also posted a link to my "Earthmanprime Collaborations" gallery to FB, felt like we have enough stuff going now to get some more eyeballs on it.

No way you went overboard, it is just perfect. I am so glad you cut loose, and went to town, that you did what you felt like, and you made my day. Well, two days.Β
Great news, getting more people to take a look at your mighty combined effort is just what the doctor ordered.Β
