All Peter Blood wanted was to be left alone. A doctor living in 17th century England, Blood spends his days tending to his patients and reminiscing about his time adventuring through Europe. Blood soon winds up on the wrong side of a rebellion and is sentenced to ten years of hard labor on the island of Barbados. Escaping slavery, Blood begins his career as a pirate and becomes one of the most famous Pirates in the Caribbean as well as one of literature's best anti-heroes. Captain Blood s Odyssey is an adaptation of the Rafael Sabatini novel of the same name. Later adapted into the 1935 movie starring Errol Flynn, the 1922 book was a smash hit and launched numerous sequels. Adapted for the first time to comic book form, Captain Blood s Odyssey is a very faithful adaptation of the popular novel.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The real star of Captain Blood is the artwork of Mike Shoyket. His sketchy style captures the historical flavor of this piece of fiction incredibly well. He brings an incredible dynamism to the title character, and he makes excellent use of darkness and shadow, enhancing the harsh, tense and foreboding mood perfectly." --Don McPherson, Eyeoncomics.com
"I'm looking forward to seeing the story continue. Though I'd prefer reading it in one collected volume, I think I understand the economics behind SLG s releasing it as a mini-series and I hope it does really well for them. Having read the first issue now, I m anxious for the second and that s a great indicator of a successful series." --Michael May, Robot6
