About this Collection

This fourth volume of NBM's 1980s reprint series collects more classic Terry and the Pirates newspaper strips, continuing the adventures of Terry Lee, Pat Ryan, and the Dragon Lady as they navigate danger and intrigue in the pre-World War II era. The collection features the introduction of Tony Sandhurst and further developments with Connie and Normandie Drake, capturing Milton Caniff's iconic storytelling and art at its peak.

In "The Village of Unmarried Women," Terry and Connie take shelter with a wounded Pat at a remote mining colony, where they're met with icy tension by Normandie Drake and her unsettlingly calm husband, Tony Sandhurst. Written and drawn by the legendary Milton Caniff—whose distinctive art and storytelling elevate every page—this 1986 NBM issue delivers a gripping, character-driven tale steeped in atmosphere and quiet suspense. The cover, a collaborative effort by Caniff and Ray Fehrenbach, captures the story’s mood with sharp, evocative detail.
