Why read it?
1 author picked Isaac the Pirate as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the first book I read by the French cartoonist, Christophe Blain—now one of my absolute favorite artists. The titular Isaac is a young artist who gets hired by a wealthy sea captain to accompany him on his voyages as a sort of “ship’s artist.” The twist, of course, is that the captain turns out to be a pirate.

From Ben's list on graphic novels set on the high seas.
