Book Reviews of The Complete Terry and the Pirates, Vol. 1: 1934-1936
Book Review: Retro Adventure, with period racism
Summary: 4 Stars
Terry and the Pirates vol #1 is a must have for anyone interested in this long running classic comic series. It is, as should be expected, somewhat hindered by many aspects of the source material.
For one, T&P's 6-days-a-week black and white strips and 1-a-week color strip follow two completely separate story lines for more than 12 months. This isn't a problem per-see, however IDW's decision to collect the color strips first, then back track to the beginning of the black and whites, and THEN merge the two formats by the end of the book is a bit awkward. Most significantly, because Terry & Pat's reason for being in China is explained in the black and white dailies. (as is their meeting Connie and several other characters) This is made all the more confusing when characters are referenced in the initial colors without context.
As for the actual content of the books, the artwork is well reproduced. As it features the beginning of the series, the art style starts off a bit weak but grows over time.
On a final note, readers should go into this experience expecting social outlooks (racism) to be some what dated. The Chinese are widely presented as stupid, cowardly, greedy and outright evil. Arguably not as bad as Africans are in TinTin in Congo, but it is worth knowing ahead of time.
