The Pirate Comic

Recommended Posts

Yes!!! I have finally got the first one. Does anyone else have one?

Apparently there's a whole series but I've only ever seen the first one on websites like Brickshelf and Brickset. In the 1991 German LEGO catalog there's some small images of the covers of the other comics, but apart from this I've never seen anything else about them.

i have read the german version of the comic which is in brickset and i think the drawings are really good, but i don't like the argument so much

It's a nice thing for Lego Pirates' fans to read and a valuable source of minifig's names, however the story isn't that exciting and one readnig was enough for me (I'm talking about the first comic book, don't know anything about the others).

Yes, the story in the first comic isn't particular exciting although I did think it was better than the stories in the Pirates Lady Bird book series.

I have more questions about your avatar. How bout we put the posts about your avatar into a new thread and discuss it over there?

That's fine with me but is the avatar worth it? :) It took me 2 minutes to take this photo just after I finished taking the pictures of the Barracuda's Eye. I even didn't like it at first :) Perhaps a thread about user's avatars in general is a better idea?

Yes, you're absolutely right. A thread concerning Pirate avatars that is!

Anyways, where is Languages? He been online lately? I'm still waiting for him to answer my question I posted earlier in this thread.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, I looked and didn't find any. But, has anybody seen this pirate comic? I read it and enjoyed it quite a bit. I can't get an image up but I provided below a link.

From the Peeron library: http://peeron.com/scans/6255-1/

what do you think of it?

Yes... Yes... This is old news... Well to me anyway because I discovered it years ago when it was first on Brickshelf. Or was that Lugnet? I forget where it used to be hosted.

Anyways... I actually own the real thing now. Does anyone else?

And I think I've already created a thread about it so maybe the these two can be merged at some point.

I've always wanted to get this again (since mine disintegrated...) If you ever see a bargain Phes ;-)

Why do you want to have the comic if you can read it on internet, it doesn't is an actual set, with parts, except for a fig and a map...

I have read it in german a year ago(i don't understand german but is easy to understand the comic because the drawings) the drawings are good but the argument is simple and bad

well...the story of a comic, movie, or book, in spanish is called "argumento"...I had a mistake because i forgot "arguement" in english has a different meaning

Yes, "argumento" does directly translate to "arguement" but obviously the definitions are different. You mean the plot (i.e. the storyline) was bad?

The characters are bad, and the plot is vad as well, the captain redbeard is a bit of an idiot and broadside is a fancy guy who always sits on a throne and let others do his tasks, while he should be battling pirates to protect his coast...

He's a governor... A politician... They are not millitary men nor warriors... They get their soldiers to do all the gung ho stuff for them. So the book seems to be on the mark there.
