Number 1530: Boyhood adventures end: Terry and the Pirates #9

With issue number 9 (1948) of Harvey’s Terry and the Pirates reprints, Terry’s adventures as a boy ended. The closing adventure (at least for the sake of this reprint series) I am showing  here. The rest of the book picks up during World War II when Terry Lee has become an air cadet. I won’t be showing those stories, so this post ends my reprints from this historic series.

I thought I’d apologize to any and all who take offense at the Asian caricatures. Unlike the white characters, Connie and Big Stoop are comic figures. That was the way they were presented 75 years ago when the strip was appearing in newspapers. While those depictions may make us uncomfortable today they were part of the popular culture of the era.

If you haven’t done so already, pick up from the beginning of the series, which began with Terry and the Pirates #3. Just click on the thumbnails of the covers:

Number 1514: Pat’s day in court: Terry and the Pirates #8

Not only does Pat Ryan get his day in court against the lying and scheming Tony Sandhurst (husband of Pat's love, Normandie), but gets some justice in the bargain.

I will be ending my postings of Terry and the Pirates with the next issue, which I'll show in late February. After closing out Terry’s boyhood adventures, Harvey began reprinting the stories of Terry during World War II.

This episode is from Terry and the Pirates #8 (1948):
