    1st printing.

    Story and art by Jim Toomey.

You could say Sherman's just a regular guy with a slightly salty look at how things work.

    Volume 5 - 1st printing. "1939: The Hypnotic April Kane!" Story and art by Milton Caniff. The saga continues in Terry and the Pirates Volume 5, reproduced from Milton Caniff's personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs! In the heart of Indo-China Terry, Pat, Connie, and Big Stoop take the good (teenaged southern belle April Kane) with the bad (the twin villainy of Baron DePlexus and Sanjak). Later, back in Hong Kong, competition from young Deeth Crispin III forces Terry to take dancing lessons-from the Dragon Lady! When the dust settles the three kids are scooped up and held captive in an expansive net that also leaves Pat and the Dragon Lady in the clutches of Warlord Klang! Escape causes the heroes to scatter. Pat and April are snatched up by Cap'n Blaze and his daughter, Cheery-who really fails to live up to her name!-with the menace of Singh-Singh lurking in the wings... This tabloid-sized Volume 5 containing the 1939 dailies and Sundays is an unparalleled upgrade that no Terry fan can afford to pass up. Hardcover, 11-in. x 14-in., 164 pages, full color. NOTE: "Caniff's complete run on the strip is strongly recommended for all libraries. [He introduced] one colorful and memorable character after another-including heiress Normandie Drake, the slippery and beautiful Burma, and perhaps the series' finest creation, the haughty, dangerous, and complex Dragon Lady." - Library Journal Cover price $100.00.

The saga continues in Terry and the Pirates Volume 8, reproduced from Milton Caniff's personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs! Pat Ryan's bittersweet reunion with the entire Sandhurst family-including young daughter Merrily-is cut short when they are captured and placed in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Even worse, human weasel Tony Sandhurst is revealed as an Axis conspirator! Pat revs up an escape for Normandie, Merrily, and himself, but their path to freedom intersects with the Dragon Lady. When the Sandhurst women find themselves on their own behind enemy lines, their privations finally end in the same U.S. Army camp hospital where Terry Lee is recuperating! Terry has happy encounters with nurse Taffy Tucker and aviator Flip Corkin, and a less-pleasant encounter with the conniving redhead known only as Rouge! This tabloid-sized Volume 8 containing the 1942 dailies and Sundays is an unparalleled upgrade that no Terry fan can afford to pass up. Hardcover, 11-in. x 14-in., 164 pages, full color. NOTE: "Terry significantly altered and dominated the landscape of the newspaper comic strip. [Caniff's] work is notable for its reliance on character instead of plot to dictate the action. The other thing Caniff brought to the comic strip was sex. Terry's female characters practically oozed sexuality in a way that previous strips had never dared." - The Harrisburg Patriot News Cover price $100.00.
