Who is Burma?

Burma is a glamorous adventuress appearing in Milton Caniff's Terry and the Pirates, set in a romanticized Far East. She moves through the same dangerous world as Terry Lee and Pat Ryan, a charming and cunning figure whose alliances and motives keep those around her guessing.

Few characters carry the exotic intrigue of Golden Age comics quite like Burma, who made her debut in Large Feature Comic #2 back in 1939 and went on to grace the pages of the beloved Terry and the Pirates β€” one of the most celebrated adventure strips of the era. Sharing her world with the likes of Terry Lee, Pat Ryan, Connie, and Big Stoop, Burma keeps genuinely iconic company, placing her at the heart of a richly imagined Far East adventure universe that captivated readers for generations. The fact that her presence in the catalog stretches all the way to 2021 speaks to an enduring appeal that has outlasted most of her Golden Age contemporaries by decades. For collectors and fans drawn to the glamour and danger of classic adventure comics, Burma is a name well worth seeking out.
