Customer Reviews

One, Two, and now Three; another winner.
As I've already reviewed the first two volumes of this splendid and handsome six-part set, I won't repeat myself except to say if you loved the first two, you'll love volume three. After completing volume two, I was disappointed only in that I would have to wait another few months to receive the next edition. My guess is that if I had all six volumes at once, I would read them all too quickly, ruining the anticipation of awaiting the next in line.

In a nutshell, the magnificent quality has been continued, the stories keep getting better, and all three volumes truly look impressive upon my bookshelf. If you haven't bought the first volume yet and are a Milton Caniff fan, shame on you. Order them now while they are still in print.

Third and midway volume, coming on stronger.
This is the excellent third volume to this comprehensive reprinting of the classic "Terry and the Pirates" series. I have wanted to read this series, but missed out on the previous reprint series done by NBM several years back (being a poor student at the time, I could not afford the multiple expensive volumes).

Continuing from the 2nd volume, T&P story comes on stronger. We get more of the Dragon Lady and get introduced to a new character who will continue into the next volume.

TAP vol 3 Slow Start, Long Burn
I found the beginning of Terry and the Pirates vol 3 to be sluggish. Terry's puppy-love strips were tedious, though I suppose accurate for the period, and the volume's first central plot's big twist just lacked impact. Perhaps more specifically, the new villain it introduces had too much build up, and too little pay off to hold my interest.

That all said, the book kicks back into gear with the reintroduction of the Dragon Lady, and several consecutive plots following there after. If you are a fan of retro action comics, retro racial stereotypes, and long running interconnected plotlines and characters, this is a must read.
