Comic books
Black Flag is a superhero team and comic book series originally written and illustrated by Dan Fraga. It was published by Maximum Press and one preview edition by Image Comics in 1995. The comic features an organized para-military-styled team of characters composed of a former military Landstorm pilot, a master of mysticism, a billionaire heiress, an eight-foot-talking purple gorilla, a dimension-hopping shapeshifting alien revolutionary, and a boy who can make fantasy a reality with the snap of his fingers. In April 2020, Fraga brought back the Black Flag IP with the graphic novel Black Flag: Pineapple Perception. The art and style are reminiscent of the original comic, but with modern updates. It is intended to be the first in a four-part series. The creative team includes Fraga, Will Perdomo (story), Shelby Robertson (inks), and Matt Yackey (colors). The first novel was crowdfunded on Indiegogo, and has raised over $200,000 by February 2021. There have been no updates on the project since July of 2025, and as of August of 2026 the book has not yet been completed.
