Press Release
BOOM! Studios today announced CURSED PIRATE GIRL: THE DEVIL’S CAVE, a special issue that marks creator and acclaimed illustrator Jeremy Bastian’s return to his beloved cult hit series in this self-contained issue that reveals the next chapter of Cursed Pirate Girl, available in January 2022
In the long awaited continuation of Cursed Pirate Girl, her loyal companion Pepper Dice reveals that there’s still time to bring back her father, the Dread Pirate Captain Douglas! If she can escape the Sea King’s Palace with The Bright Star, will she be bold enough to enter The Devil’s Cave in the hope of bringing her father back? Or will the Devil Jonah and his minions stop her?
Jeremy Bastian is a comic book creator living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His book Cursed Pirate Girl has garnered a group of dedicated fans not only in the United States but also internationally. The unique art style he uses in his work is reminiscent of 15th century engravings, despite the fact that he uses a brush and ink. Jeremy has done variant covers for BOOM! Studios’ Judas series and Labyrinth.
“THE DEVIL’S CAVE is the best work I have done yet, and I’m very excited to share it with you. In this long awaited chapter, Cursed Pirate Girl visits the wonders of the Omerta Seas and faces even more bizarre characters in her quest to be reunited with her father,” said Bastian. “If you thought the previous chapter of her story was something special, just wait ‘til you see this one!”
Cursed Pirate Girl, the beloved cult series, launched in 2012 with the story of young Apollonia, daughter of the governor of Port Elizabeth, who meets the enigmatic, no-nonsense Cursed Pirate Girl, a wandering adventurer on a quest to find her lost father, a dreaded pirate captain of the Omerta Seas. Since then, Cursed Pirate Girl’s wild and thrilling adventures have continued in the Cursed Pirate Girl graphic novel and special issue Cursed Pirate Girl 2015 Annual, garnering widespread acclaim for their intricately detailed illustrations evocative of Arthur Rackham and Gustave Dore’s fairy tale depictions.
“It’s an utter delight to have CURSED PIRATE GIRL back, and with one of the most captivating and imaginative journeys yet for the character no less,” said Bryce Carlson, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “It’s been more than well worth the wait to lay eyes on Jeremy’s work at its absolute best in the stunning illustrations and immersive storytelling that lie within THE DEVIL’S CAVE.”
