As we are a polite site, it's ladies first,
so we start with the queen of comic pirates. Lai Choi San, better know as The Dragon Lady,
or Madam Deal, made her debut in 1934 appearing in the first Sunday
strip of Terry and the Pirates. She and Terry frequently clashed,
but enjoyed an uneasy truce during the World War II. It is not lost on readers that
the Dragon Lady has a bit more than just a crush on Terry's friend Pat Ryan.
A real gem is Captain Mors. The former submarine captain
designed two air ships. Operating from a secret base and donning a mask he
became a pirate of the skies and space, but his motives are good. He is
a Robin Hood character, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
Starring in Buccaneers is Captain Daring. Although he purports to
be a pirate Daring is in fact working to bring them to justice. There is an obvious
similarity between the swashbuckling Captain Daring and Errol Flynn.
Our time is up and we must set sail. So mateys, hoist the Jolly Roger and enjoy the books beneath!
We have 24 titles and 427 issues in our 'Pirates Category' for you to enjoy.
