Superstars: Terry Returns, Pirates are with Him
Terry Returns, Pirates are with Him
Superstars, Scoop, Friday, March 23, 2007
One of the most influential comic strips of all time is returning to print.
IDW Publishing announced last weekend at the Wizard World Los Angeles show that
they will publish a six-book series collecting the Milton Caniff ’s entire run
on Terry and the Pirates. The volumes will feature the black and white
dailies along side the full color Sunday strips.Volume One, to be published in July, contains more than 800 consecutive strips from the beginning of the series in October 1934 through the end of 1936.“No cartoonist has so heavily influenced his medium as has Milton Caniff, and no
comic strip has had more imitators than Terry and the Pirates,” the company said in its announcement. “He is considered the great American novelist of the comics medium.”Terry Lee (the title character), his adult pal Pat Ryan, their sidekick Connie, and an array of unforgettable brigands travel the China Seas in a dazzling series of adventures, meeting the likes of the alluring Burma and the inimitable Dragon Lady.
“In Terry and the Pirates,” wrote Jerry Robinson in The Comics, “all the storytelling techniques 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.”
“It’s historically the first, and for my money, greatest example of what we do. The evolution of what Caniff did with Terry in his first year is unbelievable. It’s pure core storytelling,” said Howard Chaykin, who wrote the introduction
to Volume One.The Complete Terry and the Pirates also launches a new imprint for IDW, The Library of American Comics.
“There’s no better comic strip to inaugurate The Library of American Comics than Milton Caniff’s masterpiece,” series editor and designer Dean Mullaney said in the press release. The Sunday pages have been restored from the original color pages in Mullaney’s private collection, supplemented by copies from the Cartoon Research Library at Ohio State University. The volumes in this series will be oversized, 11” x 8.5” oblong.
