☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the 1944-1945 newspaper continuity of Milton Caniff's classic adventure strip, focusing on the return of Pat Ryan to the series. It is part of NBM's comprehensive reprint series, presenting these wartime-era strips in their original black-and-white format.
In "Honor Among Correspondents Part Two," Pat Ryan navigates treacherous alliances as he teams up with the Navy, the Army Air Corps, and the elusive Chinese guerrillas led by the Dragon Lady to establish a critical transmitting station deep within occupied China. With the fate of naval operations hanging in the balance, Ryan’s mission tests loyalty, strategy, and the fragile trust between vastly different forces. Written and illustrated by the legendary Milton Caniff, this issue showcases his masterful storytelling and detailed art, with cover pencils and inks by Caniff himself.
When Willow Belinda inadvertently exposes Burma’s true identity to a reporter, the truth hangs in the balance—until a Japanese fighter patrol intercepts the man’s transport plane, sending the situation spiraling into danger. With Lt. Terry Lee, Col. Flip Corkin, and Lt. Charles Charles caught in the crossfire, loyalty and discretion are tested in the heat of war.
When Japanese espionage agents mistake Willow Belinda for Colonel Corkin’s secretary, they kidnap her in a desperate bid to uncover details about a planned invasion of China—putting her in the crosshairs of a dangerous game far beyond her understanding. With Terry Lee and the team racing to uncover the truth, the line between intelligence and deception blurs in this tense, high-stakes chapter of the series.
In the tense corridors of wartime strategy, Lt. Terry Lee finds himself caught between rival factions as Commander Pat Ryan brokers a fragile alliance between the Navy, the Army Air Corps, and the fiercely independent Chinese guerrillas led by the legendary Lai Choi San—the Dragon Lady. With the stakes high and trust scarce, a covert mission to plant a vital transmitting station deep in occupied China hinges on cooperation between the unlikeliest of allies, including the sharp-witted Capt. Snake Tumblin and the resourceful Sgt. Jane Allen.
