Origin[]

Bill Jukes is one of the pirates in Captain Hook's crew on the Jolly Roger.

Peter and Wendy introduces him as follows: "Here is Bill Jukes, every inch of him tattooed, the same Bill Jukes who got six dozen on the WALRUS from Flint before he would drop the bag of moidores." He and Cecco set up the plank for the children to walk after their capture by the pirates. When Hook sends him to the cabin to fetch the cat-o-nine-tails for whipping them with, he becomes the second pirate killed by Peter that day.

Notes[]

  • The Peter Pan play is in the public domain in the United States (as of 2024), but not the United Kingdom. as Special legislation was passed that gave the play a perpetual copyright. The characters, however, are in the public domain (as are the novels).
