Polly and the Pirates is an independent comic book series written and illustrated by Ted Naifeh and released through Oni Press.
This is a new series from Ted Naifeh and six part mini series. Polly Pringle is a young girl who goes to boarding school and is perfectly fine with her life and has no desire to go on any adventures like her friend Anastasia. One night though while sleeping in her bed Polly gets swept up in an adventure with pirates of all folk.
The setting is a San Francisco inspired fantasy world that would take place seemingly around the 19th century, where huge Victorian style homes are house boats, and pirates still sail the high seas.
