C is for the Corsair Queen


The Corsair Queen and her ship Destroyer prowled the waters of the Caribbean in issues 25,26, and 27 of Buccaneers from Quality Comics. Her true name was Lila Evans, and she was the daughter of the governor of Cartago. When her father was murdered in a pirate raid, Lila took to the high seas in search of revenge and adventure. While posing as a pirate, she became the scourge of all injustice.


Corsair Queen is an example of how it was far more common-place for major publishers to have regular series that weren't superhero-centric. We will be presenting the two best of her adventures later this year in our Speak Like a Pirate Day Special in September. That product will also feature a ROLF! Battle Scenario that pits her against the very first woman to take up the mantle of the Black Cat. (By then, we may even include some rules for Lester Smith's CORE RPG. Time will tell!)

In the meantime, here she is ala ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters.

  1. Fun! I have never been a comics reader, but feel I must fix that. Especially now that I have a 7 year old boy... I bet he would love them! Thanks for this window into a world I don't know anything about. Enjoyed visiting!

  2. Except for mentioning our future plans with individual characters, I am trying to keep my "must plug my books" impulse to a minimum... but I will say that all our comics are all-ages appropriate!
