Pirates of the Caribbean was a monthly comic book published by Joe Books Ltd. Chris Schweizer and Joe Flood are the primary creative team.[1] There were five issues.
Synopsis[]
According to the synopsis of the first issue, the story took place between the events of The Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest.
- "Return to the world of Captain Jack Sparrow in these untold tales of pirate adventure on the high seas! After squaring off with Captain Barbossa in a cursed duel, Jack is back on the run. And while Admiral Norrington may have given Jack a head start on his escape, the chase is now on.”"
