Terry and the Pirates is an action-adventure comic strip created by cartoonist Milton Caniff, which originally ran from October 22, 1934 to February 25, 1973. Captain Joseph Patterson, editor for the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate, had admired Caniff’s work on the children’s adventure strip Dickie Dare and hired him to create the new adventure strip, providing Caniff with the title and locale. The Dragon Lady leads the evil pirates; conflict with the pirates was diminished in priority when World War II started.

In this strip published 3 October 1936 shortly after the series debut, the Dragon Lady drugs the “handsome American” (the character Pat Ryan) to “see the American dog squirm a bit!” With Chicago Tribune label on second panel. Strip is highlighted with turquoise wash (for shading) and inscribed by Caniff along the bottom margin, “To Graeme MacLeod with my best wishes Milton Caniff”. Measures 22.75″ x 7″.
