Volume 2 of this landmark series-reproduced from Milton Caniff's
personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs-features the iconic
1936 daily and Sunday adventures, which continue their separate
paths until the end of August when the stories-and cast of
characters-are happily united once and for all. In the Sunday Saga,
Pat and Cap'n Blaze have it out across a checker board! Then things
get really hot when the Dragon Lady and her men lay siege to
Blaze's encampment! A twist of fate puts Pat in charge of the
Dragon Lady's forces, but they're mistaken for soldier-of-fortune
pirates when the Chinese Army storms their position. It takes
timely intervention from a surprising source to gain their freedom.
Meanwhile, in the Daily Saga, fists fly when Terry, Connie, and Pat
are taken prisoner by the insidious Captain Judas-and sparks fly
when the boys have their first meeting with beautiful, blonde
Burma! The famous strips from March 16-21 steamed up the national
audience and became one of the most imitated sequences in comic
strip history. Later, cat claws are unsheathed against the backdrop
of plague on the planation run by Stan and Wendy Wingate, Burma
takes a dive, and with the daily and Sunday strips integrated into
a unified storyline the boys once again confront the Dragon Lady
before running afoul (accent on the foul!) of Papa Pyzon. The
Library of American Comics and Clover Press are proud to publish
Terry and the Pirates: The Master Collection, the ultimate edition
of Caniff's masterpiece. We present the Sundays in an unmatched
color fidelity and larger than they have ever before been
reprinted-an unparalleled upgrade that no Terry fan can afford to
pass up.
"In [these] pages, we see Milton Caniff emerging as one of the most
gifted writers of narrative in the American 20th century. We see
more clearly now that he was engaged in writing and drawing a
picaresque novel, as full of adventures as Don Quixote, Tom Jones,
or Huckleberry Finn." - Pete Hamill - The saga continues in Terry
and the Pirates Volume 3, reproduced from Milton Caniff's personal
set of color syndicate tabloid proofs! The Dragon Lady gets a bang
out of her time with Papa Pyzon, but Terry, Pat, and Connie escape,
only to have their first meeting with the lowest of the low, Tony
Sandhurst-and is Pat in for a surprise when he meets Mrs.
Sandhurst! Despite saving Sandhurst's miserable life on multiple
occasions, Tony connives to bring charges against Pat. Friends and
a former lover help acquit him, even as Connie finds a new ally,
the gentle giant, Big Stoop. Burma and Captain Judas both make
return appearances, and the year ends with Terry, Burma, and Connie
assisting ragtag Chinese peasants, unaware a new menace grows near.
