Prepare to set sail with a tale of high seas adventure as Writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Craig Cermak launch their latest series from Top Cow; A Man Among Ye
Set against the backdrop of the 1700’s, as piracy lay dying, Stephanie Phillips (Butcher of Paris, Descendent) and Craig Cermak (Red Team, Voltron) bring us the tale of Anne Bonny and Mary Read who are two of the greatest historical pirates of the age. In a time where men were men and it was considered unlucky to have woman aboard a ship, these two strive to maintain the pirate way of life. Weaving a tale of high seas adventure, Philips strives for a thrilling tale that captivates and entertains.
“I’ve always wanted the chance to work with Craig, and I think this was the perfect opportunity. Craig’s linework and storytelling are just phenomenal,” said Phillips. “I hope that readers really have fun with the story. This is an adventure with a lot of heart, and we look forward to sharing that journey with readers.”
Cermak added: “It’s a delight working with Steph, whose scripts flow so well, have a flurry of fun beats, as well as her knack for precise shaping of so many characters into believable forms—perfect for illustrating a variety of expressions and moods. This tale has all the conniving you’d ever want among a world of cut-throat pirates and pirate hunters, and a prime selection of the most beautiful, the handsomest, and the grimiest of pirates.”
