So, one shouldn't expect the world out of this comic book story.  It is only four pages long, and it really is only covering the most basic elements of a story given such a short length.  We learn of a sailor that washes up on an island after his ship is attacked by pirates.  He is saved by a Sea Devil, until they are attacked by pirates.  They wind up accidentally summoning a monster, and everyone but the sailor dies.  It's the kind of story that probably wouldn't work - writer John Peel, of Timewyrm infamy - does a decent job, but there's so little substance normally I'd take away nothing from this experience.  Yet it is so natural - a Sea Devil existing in a pirate story even completely absent from the Doctor feels so right this very basic story absolutely works as it should.  Most importantly, David Lloyd's art absolutely carries this short comic.  Every panel is vivid and full of details.  A number of them are truly impressive works of art, namely when the sea monster shows up, and I really enjoyed the brief read that is this comic.  I'd highly recommend this one - while insubstantial, it was a lot of fun.  Plus it is part of a cool collection of stories in the Black Sun Rising graphic novel, which is full of weird little gems like this.
