Do You like Pirates? Do you like Zombies? Do you like Comics? If so, then you will like Dead Men Tell No Tales!

In the golden age of piracy, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, and Black Bart Roberts, the three most reviled pirates in history, contend for the most sacred prize the world has ever known - the lost Relics of Christ! Their battle stained the seven seas crimson leaving only dead men who would tell no tales. But the dead have a way of speaking without words… Issue 1 1698.The despicable Captain Kidd shanghais a helpless merchant ship. However, this simple vessel holds something far greater than rum and slaves- it carries an ancient map cursed by the Knights Templar. A map that, unbeknownst to Kidd, leads to the lost Relics of Christ! For this ultimate prize, every pirate in the world will wage a bloody war to possess it! Each side will face storms, navies, and a legion of zombies in order to lay their hands on the world's greatest plunder!   Click to see Fernando Acostas artwork! Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES #1 HAS SET SAIL!
For Immediate Release

ARCANA STUDIO’s DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES #1 is sold out* at the publisher! Having hit the newsstands three weeks ago, DMTNT #1 has been completely absorbed by a ravenous market! This is no small feat for ARCANA STUDIO as the book was overprinted by 55% above initial orders plus, at the Baltimore Retailer Summit, an ultra-rare free copy of the DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES #1 Retailer Exclusive was made available. Even with all of that, we still did not have enough product to meet demand!

“Due to the extreme quality of this project,” offered ARCANA STUDIO’s owner, Sean O’Reilly, “ARCANA STUDIO overprinted on Dead Men #1 by an unprecedented amount. (I mean, 55% over initial orders! Come on! Even I thought I was nuts for going that far!) But, ultimately it wasn't enough. It's a great time for creators as there are lots of opportunities for independent publishing, but at the same time it makes it a really competitive market. For us to get a good initial purchase order and then to receive an overwhelming amount of reorders...well it's been great. This is Arcana Studio’s fastest sell out book since ANT! And it seems that it is going to see the same meteoric rise as that title!”

“This is just wonderful news,” said Dead Men Tell No Tales’ editor, Egg Embry. “Dead Men is a total labour of love for everyone involved! To see it do so well is amazing! If I could, I want to congratulate Dwight MacPherson, Michael DeVito, Mike Fiorentino, Fernando Acosta, Tony DeVito, Jon Conkling, and Sean O’Reilly for all of their hard work in making this book such a success! I’d also like to thank all of the retailers and fans that are trying out our treasure! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
