With shocking tales of vicious mutineers, imperial riches, and high-seas intrigue, Black Flags, Blue Waters is “rumbustious sufficient for the adventure-hungry” (Peter Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle).

Set towards the backdrop of the Age of Exploration,
Black Flags, Blue Waters reveals the shocking historical past of American piracy’s “Golden Age” – spanning the late 1600s by way of the early 1700s – when lawless pirates plied the coastal waters of North America and past. “Deftly mixing scholarship and drama” (Richard Zacks), best-selling creator Eric Jay Dolin illustrates how American colonists at first supported these outrageous pirates in an early show of solidarity towards the Crown, after which violently opposed them. By way of engrossing episodes of roguish glamour and excessive brutality, Dolin depicts the star pirates of this era, amongst them the towering Blackbeard, the ill-fated Captain Kidd, and sadistic Edward Low, who delighted in torturing his prey. Upending in style misconceptions and cartoonish stereotypes,
Black Flags, Blue Waters is a “tour de pressure historical past” (Michael Pierce,
Midwestern Rewind) of the seafaring outlaws whose raids mirror the precarious nature of American colonial life. 100 illustrations; 8 pages of shade illustrations
