Cursed Pirate Girl is the story of an orphan girl who calls herself the Cursed Pirate Girl and the search for her father. She knows he's a Pirate Captain of the mythical waters known as the Omerta Seas. She finds her way to the Omertas guided by a talking parrot named PepperDice where she meets the Swordfish Brothers- Sir Haftu and Sir Halek who decide to chaperone her on the quest to find her father. Together they go from pirate ship to pirate ship trying to figure out which one is her father's and why she was abandoned in the first place - Jeremy Bastain
This is a comic that stands out for its artwork, which packs detail onto the page (especially since, according to the author, it's drawn at sizefor the page) and is unique and whimsical and also occasionally horrifying. The closest I could probably compare it too is Chris Riddell.
That said, the story does feel unfinished. I know this was intended to be chapters #1-3 of a six chapter arc, and that there is at least one other chapter published later, but (as of Nov 2023) it seems unclear if Bastain is actually going to finish the story. I might one day come back to revise this review if and when it's a finished story.

Ok, the story was great. The art work was beautiful. But the pages were just too busy for me. I like detail, but this was a bit of an overload for me. Just didn't allow for a nice reading experience for me when I was too worried about missing any detail that might be important. And there were a lot a details to try and take in.

Absolutely fantastic, off-the-wall comics. Bastian's writing is a joy, and the art is amazing.

A very unique comic, the art is fantastic.
The story seems meant for children, but not in a way that an adult can’t enjoy. There is so much depth to the art; it’s so detailed and chaotic that after some pages I just had to sit and scan through it all.

This was just okay. The artwork was interesting and I really wanted to enjoy the storyline but just didn’t. The font of the text made it really difficult to read and I had to strain my eyes to understand it. I had higher hopes going into this and now feel slightly disappointed that I wasted my time.
