Description My favorite of the lost superheroes of Canada's comic book golden age, I guess Polka Dot Pirate only had a handful of appearances, but one of the greatest costumes of all time. I always thought she'd make a great superhero for the Atlantic provinces. 

If you want to read her adventures, you can't. The books are incredibly rare and lost to time. Luckily, my friend Hope Nicholson--responsible already for reprint revivals of Nelvana of the Northern Lights and Brok Windsor, two great volumes you should totally check out--is including the Pirate's adventures in her next kickstarter project. I can't wait to read them!

Do you know if she's in Public Domain?

I don't believe she is, no.

A Wing Nitro collection? Never heard of that. Interesting. Cool PDP picture.

It's still in the works--the kickstarter will probably launch later this year, so look out for it!

Oh cool! I only heard about The Wing/Nitro collection! I can't wait to get my hands on the adventures of the "Polka Dot Pirate!"

There's so little of PDP out there she's being included with Wing and Nitro, I believe.
