Two 1.25" pinback buttons with reproduction artwork of the black space pirate skull & crossbones as seen in the Captain Harlock series and movies, and the same logo against a red background as used by Queen Emeraldus.

Captain Harlock is the protagonist of the Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga series, and was created by manga artist Leiji Matsumoto.

Harlock is the archetypical Romantic hero, a space pirate with an individualist philosophy of life. He is as noble as he is taciturn, rebellious, stoic.  He is the leader of the resistance seeking to save Earth from its alien conquerors!

The character was created  in 1977 and popularized in the 1978 television series Space Pirate Captain Harlock. 

The skull and crossbones adorns Harlock's uniform and is rather frighteningly emblazoned on the prow of his spaceship.

Queen Emeraldas is a four-episode Japanese anime OVA that continues the Harlock franchise created by Leiji Matsumoto. The anime was adapted from Matsumoto's 1978 manga of the same name. Queen Emeraldas is the story of the pirate spaceship, Queen Emeraldas, which is captained by the mysterious and beautiful Emeraldas, a strong and powerful privateer. Sometimes, character Emereldas is referred to as Pirate Queen Emeraldas.

The story of Queen Emeraldas is set five years after the events of the final Galaxy Express 999 movie and was designed to give Matsumoto's fans a further glimpse into what became of Emeraldas. However, of the other characters, most are only mentioned in passing, except for Captain Harlock who has a brief cameo appearance.
