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 and portray the emotions of anticipation and concern. See this great post WW II strip (from the story “Fanning Old Flames”, shortly before Caniff left the strip). I love this one. It’s mostly Terry, but the star is Burma. It sums up both character’s personalities and their relationship. It’s got a ton of blacks and an amazing city scene – and all in four panels!! Just great stuff!!Social/Sharing |

That last panel is one of the best by Caniff and perfectly timed in this great daily. There are several collectors out there with over one hundred Terry strips and with so many great strips it is easy to see how that could happen.

Every panel is spectacular in this strip. Caniff was a master of shadows.
