I’ve always been fascinated by pirate stories. Real or fictional, they’ve always fascinated me for their mix of freedom and adventure, hostility and camaraderie, rivalry and community, but also for the fact that they’re often a reaction, a kinf of counterpoint to a society obsessed with control and prosperity.

Veiled is a comic book project that I started some time ago and that I carry on developing as the concept takes shape in my mind. As you probably guessed now, it’s a story about pirates, evolving here in a fantasy world where civilisations have migrated to the skies after fleeing across a sea of clouds caused by a cataclysm several centuries ago. Agaisnt this complex socio-economic and geo-political backdrop, we follow the odyssey of the Blackfishes, a somewhat improvised crew of pirates who are soon overtaken by events after getting their hands on a relic at the centre of the power games in this ill-fated world of celestial islands.
