About the project

Armada is an original graphic novel retelling the life, death, and legend of Sir Francis Drake — explorer, privateer, hero, villain.

Told in five chapters and rendered in a bold, cinematic style, the story weaves together historical events, imagined memories, and myth.

At its heart, Armada is about legacy — what we leave behind, what we rewrite, and what the sea chooses to remember.

Written and illustrated by Ross Bampfylde, this is a tale drawn in ink, shadow, and storm.

Several large sailing ships with billowing sails and red flags sailing on choppy ocean water under a cloudy sky.
