Terry and the Pirates: Raven -- Evermore?: By Milton Caniff. This unusual 1979 TP (with a new introduction by Caniff himself!) reprints--in its entirety--one of the most famous sagas ("The Death of Raven") in newspaper comics history, and one which (if I remember correctly) heavily influenced John Romita as he participated in Spidey's "The Death of Gwen Stacy" storyline. Fantastic b&w reproduction, and published by the Chicago Tribune itself!

 

If you think all old newspaper strips are lame, dated, boring, and total BS...you don't know what yer missing here! Caniff was an absolute MASTER of the comics form. Comparing him to today's comics "creators" is like comparing Spencer Tracy to Brad Pitt -- these new school guys just don't stack up! We'll never see Caniff's like again! VF/NM copy.

 

$15 shipped in the US.

NOTE: This book is still available, and is really a great deal. It would have been gone already if it didn't cost so damn much to ship it to the great white north!

That's it for tonight. I have a few more '30s related items, including some lower grade original strip reprint comics from the late '30s and early '40s (various titles). No time to scan and list now, but feel free to PM me if you're interested.

 

Best,
