Synopsis

“In Terry and the Pirates all the storytelling tech-niques of the adventure strip fused and a classic style emerged. Caniff developed and integrated the narrative and its visual expression into a uniform aesthetic balance.” — Jerry Robinson, The Comics
 
The saga continues in Terry and the Pirates Volume 9, reproduced from Milton Caniff's personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs!
 
Flip Corkin schools Joe Jitsu in good ol’ American know-how before he schools Terry about the ins-and-outs of being a fighter pilot. The October 17th Sunday page—as Terry earns his wings and Flip delivers “The Pilot’s Creed”—is so powerful it was read into the Congressional Record. Before that can happen, wily Rouge abducts Taffy Tucker and gives her amnesia before slipping away! Taffy is in safe hands, however, when she falls under the wing of Connie, Big Stoop, and Navy Lieutenant Pat Ryan! Taffy’s reunion with her memory and with Flip coincides with the arrival of Flight Lieutenant Tote Bonny and Grett Murmur, while Terry investigates the French Captain Midi, whom some find almost—hypnotic.
 
This tabloid-sized Volume 9 containing the 1943 dailies and Sundays is an unparalleled upgrade that no Terry fan can afford to pass up.
