In the fictional world depicted in the "Watchmen" comic book, superheroes are controversial public figures and therefore not standard comic book subject matter. Instead, other stories of heroism like pirates are popular. "Tales of the Black Freighter", therefore, is a comic-within-the-comic about the titular Freighter and its pirate crew.
In the "Watchmen" movie adaptation, "Tales of the Black Freighter" was to be presented in segments using stylized animation. However the complete film's run time would have extended beyond three hours, which the studio found unacceptable. Instead, "Tales of the Black Freighter" was incorporated into the film for the "Ultimate Edition" DVD and Blu-ray release; in addition to being available separately on DVD and Blu-ray.
