Pirates Magazine: Just for Pirates?

Avast, Here Be a Magazine Review

Some publications are tailor-made for people with niche-interests. This is one of those magazines. Adventure movies aren't the only thing that got a little bit of a boost from Disney's 2003 hit, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl". So did Pirate culture in general. Yes, there is a real live Pirate culture. You will find these enthusiasts at pirate-themed events, all over Myspace and Facebook, at theme parties, and gathering at concerts and bars. There are even several annual pirate events and fairs located all over the country, found in large concentrations in California and Florida. Needless to say, this magazine has their interests covered by a mile.

But what about you? How does this magazine fare for the average Jane and Joe? Quite well, actually. You may feel like a little bit of an outsider as you read, but you could also have the same feelings reading science magazines, fitness magazines, or any other publication geared toward such a specific topic. However, with Pirates Magazine, you will find yourself completely enthralled in the subject matter. There's nothing lofty or intimidating about it, nothing too difficult to understand, and plenty of fresh approaches to what may seem like a limited topic.

You'll find segments on Pirate history (usually my favorites), video game reviews, film discussions, event coverage, plenty of photography related to pirates, and even a lot of the advertisements manage to be interesting. This magazine works really well for movie geeks, people who enjoy tourist attractions, history buffs, or people who are just plain curious about this unique sub-culture.

You'll be surprised to find columns from outspoken contributors such as "Scarlett Harlott", the pirate personality. Also, you can read reviews by, "Bilgemunky". With names like that, you can be absolutely sure that what these writers will have to say will not be boring.
