Description
Ysennia, a revolutionary water mage, transports two dashing pirates-the quick-witted and charming Blackheart Sam Bellemy and the tough and thoughtful Quinitor-from 1790s Earth to a desert world known as Atlantis in a desperate attempt to save its people from Xsicor, the tyrannical emperor of Atlantis. The Dust Pirates is a swashbuckling, high-adventure epic from the creative team of writers Kevin Cuffe and Bob Frantz (Metalshark Bro, Skeeters, Spirit of 666), artist Tony Gregori (The Worst Dudes, TMNT, Ancient Noise), colorist Josh Jensen (Ninja Nuns), and editor/letterer Chas! Pangburn (Spider Kind, Metalshark Bro).
