Pirate of the Badlands: Comic-Book Duel in Dust

A rugged pirate in a tattered tricorn hat, eyepatch, red sash, and long coat stands in the red-orange badlands among jagged hoodoo rocks and swirling dust. He grips a gleaming cutlass in one hand and a weathered treasure map in the other, with a colorful parrot on his shoulder. The scene is drawn in bold comic-book style: thick ink outlines, exaggerated perspective, dynamic action pose, and halftone Ben-Day dots, with speech captions like ARR! and X marks the spot. The desert setting features cracked earth, distant mesas, and cactus silhouettes under a blazing sunset that casts dramatic teal shadows. The color palette blends warm desert tones with cyan accents for contrast. Cinematic composition, dust halos, speed lines, and dramatic shadows emphasize swashbuckling adventure in the badlands.
