The publication of Terry and the Pirates, a comic strip created by Milton Caniff and later taken
over by George Wunder, began in the New York Daily Times in 1934 and continued until 1973.
Caniff's narrative skill and mastery of chiaroscuro made this series famous, influencing several
major European comic artists, including Hugo Pratt.
The story begins with the arrival of
Terry Lee, a young American boy, and his journalist friend, Pat Ryan, in then-contemporary China.
They are searching for a lost gold mine discovered by Terry's grandfather. In the second strip, they
are joined by George Webster Confucius, known as Connie, who becomes their interpreter and
loyal friend. Other colorful characters join them as the story progresses.
They often face the
seductive and formidable pirate queen, the Dragon Lady. However, when World War II breaks out,
she becomes their ally, though only to serve her own interests and protect her empire.
Galerie Barbier editions decided to compile all the strips drawn by Caniff into six volumes,
covering his work until 1946. On the release of the final volume in 2021, an exhibition was
organized showcasing tributes from several renowned comic and illustration artists, including
Pierre-Henry Gomont, Serge Clerc, and Blutch, featured in each volume. This third volume
compiles the strips from 1939 to 1940 in a stunning 360-page edition.
