Pirate Corp$!

Evan Dorkin’s Pirate Corp$! (1989–1994, Slave Labor) is a five-issue, blackly comic dive into the corporate piracy of a cutthroat, soul-crushing workplace—where the “treasure” is profit margins and the crew is a collection of miserable office drones. Dorkin, the sole writer and artist, unleashes a savage, absurdist satire of 1980s/90s corporate culture, blending slapstick violence with a genuinely bleak view of capitalism. This early, cult-favorite series from the alternative comics scene established Dorkin’s signature blend of dark humor and meticulous, expressive cartooning, making it a touchstone for fans of workplace horror-comedy.
