There's something very Milt Caniff about your drawing style... it's a style I never appreciated when I was a kid and now I just adore it! Well done!

Love the idea of the birds as well... and the name! Katherine of the Angels! Great stuff!

Female pirates are very cool... I didn't even know they existed until I went to the Pirate Museum in Salem. There are a couple of them represented there.

Thanks very much Rickart for the comment and the link.
Mentionning artists, besides Caniff I always found guys like Antonio H. Palacios, Tacconi, Toppi, Victor de la Fuente...etc, such a source of inspiration !
Comics definitely give you a rare oportunity to experiment in total freedom as few forms of art let you be in control of so many things at a time ! (as you see we are sure having some fun here).

Looks great! Looking forward to see where this goes next.....Who is Katalina De Los Angeles???? Tamtamtamtaaaaaaahhhh.....:) Cool that you brought in a female pirate, since there actually was a good handful real female pirates, Anne Bonney and Mary Read being the most famous and notorious. Mary Read was known to reveal her true identity by uncovering her breast and showing her enemies that they've been beatin' by a woman. Maybe that's something that could be incorporated into Katalina????;)

Amazing work...I can't wait to see where this goes. I love the regional flair to the name Catalina De Los Angeles....Perhaps in a future episode we will meet the dreaded pirate San Pedro...or the one armed Palos Verdes? I pray they at least sack the sinful city of Culver before this is all said and done!
Very inspiring lads. Cheers!

Walleye, I'm glad you like the direction. You are right, the places named are local restaurants, towns and even some artists here in Southern California.

Mayorga is also referenced because that's Marcos' home town.

"Sacking Culver," we'll definitely have to work that into the story!

Catalina de los Angeles, Marcos, you really made me laugh this time, mixing old majorcan tradition with the New World...great.
Someone heard about Monkey Island, the game?

Bon dia !
Monkey Island ? Nop. What is it about??
Mrs de Los Angeles was actually born in "Es barri de Sta. Catalina"...near 'carrer de Caro', 'Avgda Argentina' and all that..
Que tal la Torre por cierto ...??
