9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. The best yet Hermes Press production. By Stephen Vincent Kempton While I dearly loved the first volume of Hermes Press Terry and The Pirates by George Wunder this volume out does it in several ways. For one thing in the first volume the publishers were unable to come up with a complete set of the daily strips in either their full size version or the truncated version which started because of the WW II paper shortage. So the first volume featured a mix of the two. Well this volume features only full size daily strips and no truncated strips.The volume is a massive 9 x 12 inches. Since the Sunday's and Daily strips featured a co-mingled story they are reproduced together. The Sundays are in full color and the dailies are in sharp black and white with two strips to a page. This is actually an improvement over what the Library Of American Comics usually does with most like Steve Canyon which runs three strips to a page. With the amount of detail George Wunder puts in each panel this is greatly appreciated.While you can still find an occasional glitch in the restoration such as off key coloring or broken line lettering this is the exception with very few flaws and 99% of it looks excellent especially considering the size of this small publisher and the fact that the material is 67 years old. While many fans collected comic books , very few saved their newspaper strips.The introduction by Eileen Herman is entertaining but way too short. Hopefully future volumes will expand the information. I also prefer it when the introductions give you some background on the stories included.During the first year following Milton Caniff's departure (reprinted in volume one ) George Wunder made a contentious effort to emulate the art style of Caniff, now here he cuts loose more and you see his own style emerge. While some have said Wunder ony draws ugly people, I disagree, his Terry Lee looks handsome and his woman look fetching if you can get past the very strange hair styles that he employs.While he does have a style similar to Caniff, and he was hired for that very reason, Wunder style just seems to have a sharp polish on it. While Caniff often could cleverly indicate things with a few unfinished brush strokes, Wunder illustrates it all the clear details. His backgrounds are fabulously detailed. Wunder's peers claimed he was one of the best inkers in the business. I can believe that.Also during the first year the editors at The Chicago Tribune Syndicate ran rough shot over Wunder insisting on certain storylines and characters be brought back. Now Wunder is freed to do his own thing.Milton Caniff used a large ever expanding cast of characters. Sometimes abandoning Terry Lee or Pat Ryan for months at a time.Wunder likes to have a have the same small cast in every adventure with others merely guest starring. His cast is Terry Lee grown from a young boy in Caniff's run to a handsome young adult and "Hotshot Charlie" Charles C. Charles, the red haired freckled pilot from Boston . Hotshot is his constant companion and comedy relief.The only other regular in these strips is Chopstick Joe the underworld rival of the Dragon Lady who often is seen setting up the missions and adventures for our pair of pilots.This volume like the one that preceded it breaks down nicely into three separate stories. Wunder didn't seem to have any set formula for the length of each story and they varied greatly . The first adventure here is over seven months long while the next two are both only about three months each.In the first adventure "Ancient Greed" Terry and Hotshot are hired to pilot an art dealer and his beautiful blonde daughter named Motley Van Goblin to a small town in indo-china.Of course Terry falls for Motley and they follow her on a dangerous jungle expedition. Among the Jungle they find a lost city and a strange man and yet another beautiful woman. Lots of mystery, intrigue and romance occur.Now for my complaint. Each volume has carried about 13 to 14 months of strips. George Wunder did the strip for 27 years. At the current size it is going to take 24 volumes to collect it all. It has been almost a year and a half between collections. At this rate many of us old timers will never live to see its completion.What can we do ? Well for starters purchase this book, pre-order the next as soon as it is solicited and encourage Hermes Press to pick up the pace. Nothing helps as much as good word of mouth and your hard earned cash.For those of you missed out on the first book and see that it is sold out and commanding ridiculous prices, be aware this volume is completely readable with out knowledge from either the first Wunder book or in fact Caniff's run. Again the success of this volume will encourage a reprint of the first one.My Highest Recommendation
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. OK By J. A. T. Overall I guess it's quite a good looking collection. Well, it has a good size, at least. Some Sundays look dark and murky, mostly in the beginning of the volume. Some dailies are clearly not press proof sourced. Reproduction quality of the line work varies.Overall, I'm not entirely sold on this one but maybe it's the best that can be done.
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. I miss the old Milton Caniff By S. Martin Shelton The Hermes Press is leaking slowly reproductions of the famous comic strip titled “Terry and the Pirates.” The talented Milton Caniff created this innovate and artful adventure comic strip in 1934 and continued it until 1944. George Wunder continued the strip until 1973.In this volume are three rather mediocre stories of Terry and his cadre traipsing about China and Indochina unbraiding the “bad guys and gals.” His art, at times in masterful—characters are sharp and the backgrounds are detailed. However, frequently, he skips the background. His composition generally is satisfactory, but sometimes it’s pedestrian. Mimicking Caniff, his gorgeous and sensuous dames have wasp thin waists, high arched eyebrows, and brazen figures. Without fail, they lust after Terry with perfidious schemes. Oftentimes they’re close to success, but they never succeed. After all, this was a strip published in the newspapers for family reading.The book I have has serious binding problems—ten pages are missing, twelve are misplaced, and two are duplicated fifty pages deeper into the tome than their original position. Additionally, the printing (in China) of the black and white images are far too contrasty. And color images are slightly too contrasty.
