Just launched on Kickstarter from the creators of Helga Frankenstein is Captain Wylde & The Headless Mariner, a smashing-looking 44-page full-colour, self-contained supernatural pirate adventure from Kult Creations.

Captain Wylde & The Headless Mariner is set in 1727… the “golden age” of piracy. Captain Cinnamon Wylde is the scourge of the waters around Dead Man’s Straits… Raiding slaver vessels and freeing their cargo, along with her clockwork hand (only losers have hooks!) and her homunculus sidekick, Erasmus. But she has a deadly rival in the form of Captain Godiva Dunaway, who uses black magic and a crew of zombies to rule the seven seas.

Dunaway has plans to take Wylde down using an ancient curse and necromancy… She plans to raise the deadly creature known as the Black Reaper from the waves… a headless horror that can not be killed because it is already dead.
