About this Collection

This volume collects the April 1945 daily and Sunday strips of Milton Caniff's classic adventure serial, following Terry Lee and the Dragon Lady through wartime intrigue in the China-Burma-India theater. Part of NBM's archival series reprinting the complete run of Terry and the Pirates in chronological order, this edition focuses on the perilous events of a single month during the strip's World War II era.

In "The Dragon and the Snake Part Two," Pat and the Dragon Lady face a desperate mission as the Japanese launch a fierce counter-offensive to destroy the critical transmitter, forcing them to make a risky retreat. Left behind with Terry and Hu Shee deep in enemy territory, the stakes rise in this gripping chapter of Milton Caniff’s legendary adventure, rendered in his signature style with full art and inks by Caniff himself. The cover, also by Caniff, captures the tension with a striking, dynamic image.
