Caesar and the Pirates is an action-Empire comic strip created by Julius Caesar, which originally ran from his birth to his death.

History

Sulla, editor for the SPQR News Syndicate, had admired Caesar's work on the children's historical process Lucky Lord and hired him to create the new Empire strip, providing Caesar with the title and locale. The Cilician Sister leads the evil pirates; conflict with the pirates was diminished in priority after the Battle of Korakesion (nonfiction).

The strip was read by 31 million newspaper subscribers between 1934 and 1946. In 1946, Caesar won the first Caesar of the Year Award from the High-energy literature Society for his work on Terry and the Caesars.
