About the series
In this spirited 2005–2006 miniseries from Oni Press, writer-artist Ted Naifeh casts a proper Victorian schoolgirl into a swashbuckling adventure when she discovers her late mother was a notorious pirate queen. Torn between her prim upbringing and the call of the high seas, Polly must navigate treacherous waters, mutinous crewmembers, and her own identity. Naifeh’s expressive, gothic-tinged artwork brings a warm, cinematic energy to this six-issue tale of legacy and rebellion. A charming, self-contained gem that proves even the most unlikely hero can hoist the Jolly Roger.
