Pirate Captain: a personalized comic book gift
Arrr. Somewhere inside your favorite person is a pirate captain who has been waiting years to bellow 'Hoist the sails!' at somebody. Here they get their own ship, a crew of loyal misfits, a parrot with attitude and a bitter feud with a rival captain over a chest of doubloons. Their face is under the tricorn hat on every page, and their real catchphrase can become the battle cry the whole crew roars. Ideal for anyone who says 'aye' unironically or sails a tiny dinghy every summer weekend.

Questions about this comic
Can our dog join the pirate crew?
Yes. Mention the dog in the 'anything special' field, with its name and its most piratical habit, and it can join the crew as the first mate, the lookout or the stowaway who eats the map. A partner or best friend you mention can come aboard too.
Can the pirate story be romantic?
It can. Tell us in your answers that you want it romantic, mention yourself and how you met in the 'anything special' field, and the story ideas we write lean toward a swashbuckling love story. If you would rather keep the cannonballs comic, just say so there instead.
