These are all from various European Comics sites I've found on the net. Sadly, I've never read any of them and most likely never will, so one can only wonder if the character lives up to the cover.
Moschettiera (Italy 1982-1983)
If there was such a thing as a "Sexy Musketeer" costume for Halloween it would still be less revealing than this.
Note that while she's kicking the downed duellist in the face she's also saying some very rude things about his..ahem...other sword.
I found a wee bit more information and a cover gallery here: http://www.guidafumettoitaliano.com/guida/testate/testata/4753 (NSFW)
Even with my limited knowledge of French/Spanish/Italian comics I can't help noticing that there seems to be dozens of these scantily clad anti-heroines rampaging through European history with a combination of sex and violence that would make the UK tabloids foam at the mouth.
There really isn't a UK equivalent at all.
Lucifera (Italy 1972-1980. Also published in France.)
Between the name and the blazing type-font I'm guessing that Lucifera is most definitely an Anti-heroine in the darkest sense.
I wonder if she nicked Vampirella's costume or it was the other way about?
I'm also quite impressed by the way her armourer managed to make Chain-Mail skintight.
More covers on the French edition here: https://www.bedetheque.com/serie-25059-BD-Lucifera-la-maitresse-du-demon__10.html NSFW
Gengis Khana (Italy 1979)
So Gengis Khan had a sister/daughter/??? who apparently looked like a supermodel and invented Bikini bottoms 7 centuries early.
Amazing how such little things slip through the cracks of history, innit?
She's looking a bit more warlike here although she's just discovered that getting your armour designed by Ann Summers is a bad idea.
More covers here:
Needless to say this link is NSFW.
Going purely by the covers it looks like the writers eventually gave up on the 13th century Mongol bollocks
and turned Khana into a full-on porno title. (assuming she wasn't a porno from day one...)
If any of you have read these, let me know what you thought and whether they're worth searching on Ebay.
See you tomorrow for more of the same.
