Description

Milton Caniff Terry and the Pirates Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 8-8-36 (Chicago Tribune, 1936). Mysterious, lovely Burma is just about to jump ship in this beautiful daily, from one of the best-loved runs of Milton Caniff's classic strip, right about the time where the daily and Sunday continuity would first join together in a single storyline (after the first few years of separate daily and Sunday adventures). Burma is nicely showcased here, appearing in all four panels, and Terry is starting to grow out of his awkward youth phase into a solid young man. Great stuff. A light blue wash, added to show engravers where to include mechanical shading, makes this example really stand out. This piece has an image size of approximately 19.75" x 5.5", and is in Very Good condition, with light tape residue above the image area where the title had been pasted.
