“From the sparking-mad mind of Warren Ellis, comes an electrical romance of a pirate utopia thwarted: CAPTAIN SWING & THE ELECTRICAL PIRATES OF CINDERY ISLAND. What do you do when you find out that everything you thought you knew about the history of your country and, in fact, the whole world is not necessarily the whole truth? That the Laws of Man and Science have been bent into all sorts of unsavory positions? There’s no going back now for Charlie Gravel… he’ll just have to hold on for dear life as this electrical romance careens to it’s thrilling conclusion. It is the time of Captain Swing and his Electrical Pirates, and history will never be the same. This historical science-fiction piratical romance by Warren Ellis is illustrated in Raulo Caceres’ stunning woodcut style, and presented in full color.
