DescriptionThere’s something about Terry and the Pirates that I just find compelling. It’s not just the stories (although they’re great), or the artwork, or the characters. It’s truly the balance of all three. Although he was fantastic with action sequences, it’s how he handled the quiet moments that I find so wonderful. I’ve recently picked up some great examples of how Caniff used white space to create dramatic tension. In the examples, it’s how he portrays the emotions of anticipation and concern. Look at the strip from December 14, 1946. It’s not just in the faces of the characters, but in the lighting and the placement of the phone in the foreground that tell the story and create dramatic tension.Social/Sharing |

Love Canniff's storytelling. The last panel really sells it for me.
