Superb Adventure Comic Strip

Volume 22 of the Flying Buttress classics library is the March - August 1945 continuity, containing the May 20th Sunday page often used as an example of Caniff's mastery of black-and-white! Terry covered Pat's back in the previous episode when the pair reunited at the Dragon Lady's secret airstrip. When hte Japanese attacked Terry was held as a hostage by the Dragon Lady, who had become a LOT more concerned about her men than she was in her initial appearance! Now Hotshot Charlie and Snake Tumblin run interference for the troop transports ferrying out the guerrillas while Terry is trapped behind enemy lines with the pretty Hu Shee. When the Japanese knock down Hotshot Charlie and Snake Tumblin, the little party meet cheerful ship captain Jingo Johnny. To everyone's surprise pretty April Kane makes an unexpected appearance - but so does the villainous Pyzon, now in cahoots with the Japanese.
