The pirate narrative was again something that emerged by accident – it emerged by accident in issue #3 – and yet originally it just grew out of a kind of incidental comment made by me and Dave.
Yeah, there’s even a bit where I think Adrian Veidt says at the end that he’s been “Troubled by dreams lately, of swimming towards – ” and then he says, “No, it doesn’t matter, it’s not important” and I mean it’s pretty obvious that he’s dreaming of swimming towards a great Black Freighter. The protagonist asks “How had I reached this appalling position with love, only love as my guide?” whereas in the main story someone’s committed genocide in order to save the world. There are some interesting microcosms in Watchmen, like “the Black Freighter”.
