review 1: Meant as a affectionate parody of the over-the-top, campy (and sexist) pulp novels and comics of the 50s, Lesbian Pirates mashes common elements from that genre together and twists them up for a comedic tribute. It manages to capture the feel of the tribute material well, including artistic touches including well used limited colors and "dotted" shading techniques. The comic is light, absurd and fully summarized in the title. To an extent it accomplishes exactly what it intends to.The problem for me is I didn't find it all that funny. Another issue I think is that this feels like it could have actually been published in the 50s. On one hand you could call that a success, but on the other a parody needs to go beyond its target. Those pulp stories are essentially self-p... morearodies if read today, which leaves little room for exaggeration or proper lampooning. So we end up with humor that never really gets beyond the title.There's nothing wrong with "I Was Kidnapped by Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space" in idea nor execution, but it doesn't stand out at all either. Ok as a tribute that captures the silliness, absurdity and amusement of old pulp stories, but falls short as a parody and isn't particularly memorable.
review 2: This book was a free recommendation. I figured, "what the heck". It's short, comic book length, and provided some mindless entertainment between novels. It was so ridiculous that i had to love it.a) it's freeb) it's a comic bookc) the name alone promises entertainment.I can't help but recommend this free ebook. It only took a couple minutes to go through. What have you got to lose? I mean, she was kidnapped by lesbian pirates from outer space! Beyond the goofiness of it, it really isn't worth keeping and re-reading, but i had to save to archive, just for the novelty of it. less
