Lesbians, pirates, space adventures, fifties, hilariousness, amazing art, loving parodies of sci-fi and pulp fiction- what more could you ask for? I mean, I would totally ask Megan Rose Gedris to marry me if I didn't have a girlfriend and if she didn't specifically thwart my intentions on her info page. I wish I were kidnapped by lesbo-space pirates.
As far as useful lesbian education goes, that isn't going to happen. This is the story of a fifties' girl getting kidnapped by lesbian pirates from another planet, so what do you expect? It is so full of pulpy delightfulness, and my favorite thing is how she worked in lingo in a sci-fi way that fits the universe- for instance, Gaydar isn't a skill you use to find the gays- it's an actual radar to find lesbians, and the best gaydars can find "alpha, beta, gamma and lambda" lesbian thoughts.
Ms. Gedris plays with everything! If she can make a joke out of it, she will, and her jokes are never lame. I giggle and snort a lot when purging the archives, and on that note- while the archives are fairly large, they are set up pretty similarly to old pulp fiction comic books, broken up into issues and chapters with art on those pages. I love the art, too, it is candy for your eyes.
I really admire her dedication- this isn't her only comic (though I haven't finished the others yet, but I will review it when I do), and she even wrote a short story that ties into I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space!!. This is one busy girl, and incredibly talented. So go read her stuff, and then buy it. Then read it again, and buy some more.
Here's all the comics-

P.S. to Ms. Gedris, if you ever see this post- Don't kill me for this review, it is a review of love! Lots and lots of love!
