Translation:
Well hello friends! Settle in and feast your eyes on this wonderful adventure tale of Catfoot Crogan, pirate of the Caribbean. Some call him the toughest man on the ocean. He’s not one for robbing and raiding, though, he’s got a conscience. That means he feels the need to do what’s right, even if that means becoming a pirate himself. To be honest with you, I don’t trust people that would challenge our friend Catfoot Crogan. But unfortunately, there are some who would do just that to get their hands on a bit of extra money.

Well, will you look at that! A ship! I must be off! Good luck to you!

If you like romance, sophisticated, highly evolved characters with good manners and an excellent grasp of the English language and quiet books about literature and current events, then this book is definitely NOT for you! However, if your kind of story involves crusty old pirates, pillaging, raiding, and fighting one another on the high seas, nonstop adventure and action and some violence thrown in for good measure, then, congratulations because this is YOUR book!

WARNING! This graphic novel does contain some violence. It’s about pirates after all!
