3	''El Cazador'' was a Creator/CrossGen comic book title set in the Sigilverse, Creator/CrossGen's shared universe. However, whereas most Sigilverse titles were set in the far future, El Cazador took place on Earth during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfPiracy of the 17th century. It contains none of the magical, science-fiction, or fantastical elements of the other Sigilverse titles.

5	''El Cazador'' began in 2003 and ran for six issues before Creator/CrossGen's bankruptcy brought the series to a halt. The company also published a prequel one-shot, ''El Cazador: The Bloody Ballad of Blackjack Tom'', which revealed the history of the title's [[BigBad main villain]]. ''El Cazador'' was one of the few pirate-themed comic book series in the Modern Age of comic books, and perhaps the only recent ongoing series of the genre to feature a female lead. ''El Cazador'' was written by Creator/ChuckDixon and penciled by Steve Epting.

7	In the opening issue, the ship carrying Spanish noblewoman Donessa Cinzia Elena Marie Esperanza Diego-Luis Hidalgo and others of her family are attacked by a pirate captain named Blackjack Tom. The Donessa is one of the few survivors of the attack. She swears to hunt down Tom and rescue his prisoners. To accomplish this, she re-names her ship El Cazador ("The Hunter") and becomes a pirate herself, dubbed "Lady Sin" by her crew. The remaining issues of the series detail the beginnings of Lady Sin's quest as she forsakes her privileged past for life on the high seas.

11	!!The series contains examples of:

13	* AnyoneCanDie: By WordOfGod, this was meant to be the case; subverted in that the series ended before any really significant characters could die.
14	* ContinuityNod: The significance isn't clear yet, but the Marvel relaunch of ''ComicBook/{{Sigil}}'' involves a ship called El Cazador, in about the right time period.
15	* DefeatMeansFriendship / IFightForTheStrongestSide: The final issue ends with Lady Sin offering [[spoiler: her defeated foe Redhand Harry]] an alliance (possibly conditional on his knowing Latin). While his reply was not actually given, under the circumstances it was almost certainly a "yes".
16	* OverlyLongName: Honestly, can you blame the pirate crew for just calling her Lady Sin?
17	%%* {{Pirate}}
18	%%* PirateGirl: Lady Sin
19	%%* {{Privateer}}: Redhand Harry.
20	* RedBaron: Donessa Cinzia Elena Marie Esperanza Diego-Luis Hidalgo is better known as 'Lady Sin'.
