Since The Complete Terry and the Pirates would be The Library of American Comics' publishing debut, there were pre-launch questions about if the project would be completed as a whole or cancelled before completion. Dean Mullaney, the publisher and editor of the series had however already taken this risk in account, therefore all six volumes of the series were produced all in one go and in advance to the series' debut, so that LOAC later would be able to publish the whole series whatever response it would receive from buyers when The Complete Terry and the Pirates: 1934-1936 Volume 1 volumes were consecutively released.

Apr 09, Philippe Malzieu rated it it was amazing. Milton Caniff had all invented. Opposed to the " ligne claire" of European comics, he developed a drawing with ink. His graphics influenced the majority of the young draughtsmen of comics, in particular Pratt. The line can be raw. The brush precedes the action. It gives a cinematographic dimensio. He dynamited the classical scenario by giving another dimension to the hero. In particular he gave a very important role to the Chinese interprets Georges Webster Confucius. Far from the caricature, he Milton Caniff had all invented. Far from the caricature, he escapes to racist stereotype. Confucius plays the part of the chorus of the Greek tragedy while being by his ingenuity an engine of action. It is necessary to insist as on the main function as Caniff gives to the woman. They behave like men, even worse, while being siblimement beautiful I love Dragon Lady, a true fatale woman. It is funny, merry, light and full of optimism. What else? Jan 26, Frank Roberts rated it it was amazing. I have read volumes I was too young to see these in the paper as a kid, but ran across them a while back and decided to give them a try. While the racism in them is unfortunate and of the time sthe storytelling and artwork are truly groundbreaking. Caniff really knew how to entertain people, and he had strong female characters at a time when women were usually in the comics to be rescued, not taken seriously. He even hinted at a lesbian relationship in one storyline - interesting th I have read volumes He even hinted at a lesbian relationship in one storyline - interesting that it got past the censors at the time. One of the things I really liked about the comic strip was that it dealt with stuff that could really happen - no dinosaurs, no aliens - just bad guys or galsand, eventually, WWII. Oct 18, Daniel rated it liked it. A beautiful reprint of the comic strip of the s, following the American Terry and his adventures in China of the s. The artwork is very good, quite superior to the comic books of the later s which would introduce superheroes. The stories are entertaining -- nothing earth-shattering, but great "popcorn movie" style adventures. Jun 06, Brian Rogers rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. Terry and the Pirates is both wonderful and awful. It's a master class in pacing - Caniff has 4 panels a day to keep an adventure strip going, keeping readers interested, explaining things to new readers, with little chance that people would be ale to read them they way we're reading it now, and he knocks The Complete Terry and the Pirates: 1934-1936 Volume 1 out of the park. The story is completely engaging over the two years in this book. It's gorgeous to look at - after the first few months Caniff hits his stride and the layouts, shadow work, Terry and the Pirates is both wonderful and awful. It's gorgeous to look at - after the first few months Caniff hits his stride and the layouts, shadow work, backgrounds and characters are wonderful. The action sequences, from fights to ship chases, are fluid and energetic. The dramatic scenes are equally so, captured in key moments so that everything from life or death arguments to a woman weeping at the thought she is losing her husbands attentions are as engaging as the fights. The characters are sharply drawn, with several very strong women in supporting roles from capable love interests like Normandie Drake what a name! Yes, all of them fall for the emotionally distant, physically perfect Pat Ryan, but he falls for all of them too, so everyone is making questionable decisions based on attractions. And watching how young Terry interacts with each of these powerful women in different ways adds depth to everyone. And it's yellow peril racist as all get out. Connie, the comic relief sidekick, who when first introduced a veritable idiot who expresses himself only in 'comically' broken English. His personality and skills get much better over the course of the series, but it's not until the last month of this 2 year period that we are shown Connie talking to other Chinese people in his native tongue and and this is important he doesn't sound like an idiot. It's a critical point in the portrayal of the character, but it comes much, much too late. Worst is how Connie a painful visual caricature - huge buck teeth, jug ears, bright yellow skin, no eyeballs for the slant eyes - and The Complete Terry and the Pirates: 1934-1936 Volume 1 of the Chinese are some variation of the same, though none as extreme. It's doubly maddening because everyone else, the Caucasians obviously, but also the pacific islanders, south Asians and Indians are all accurately rendered.

(See “The All-American Air- their calling in the wild blue yonder. man,” March 2000, p. 52.) He became a continuing character in “Terry.” In a famous “Terry and the Pirates” Sunday page from 1943, Corkin opened with, “Let’s take a walk, Terry,” and then delivered an inspirational talk about A Brush With the war and the Air Force as he and the newly fledged pilot Terry strolled around the flight line. The page was “read” into the Congressional Record and reported in the newspapers. Terry, Flip, and their colleagues had a great following among airmen, and the Air Force By John T. Correll the strip had considerable morale and public relations value. Gen.

Caniff produced another strip, “Male Call,” without charge for camp and base newspapers. It featured Miss Lace, who was reminiscent of the Dragon Lady but less standoffish. It is difficult today to comprehend what a big deal the funnies used to be. Everybody read the comic strips. Characters were as well known as movie stars. The strips were printed much larger than present comic strips are. On Sunday, a popular strip might get a whole color page to itself.

  • ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media
    ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation Yueqin Yang, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon, Jr., Ph.D. This thesis commits to highlighting major stereotypes concerning Asians and Asian Americans found in the U.S. media, the “Yellow Peril,” the perpetual foreigner, the model minority, and problematic representations of gender and sexuality. In the U.S. media, Asians and Asian Americans are greatly underrepresented. Acting roles that are granted to them in television series, films, and shows usually consist of stereotyped characters. It is unacceptable to socialize such stereotypes, for the media play a significant role of education and social networking which help people understand themselves and their relation with others. Within the limited pages of the thesis, I devote to exploring such labels as the “Yellow Peril,” perpetual foreigner, the model minority, the emasculated Asian male and the hyper-sexualized Asian female in the U.S. media. In doing so I hope to promote awareness of such typecasts by white dominant culture and society to ethnic minorities in the U.S. Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation by Yueqin Yang, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of American Studies ___________________________________ Douglas R.

Evans papers (HSE), scrapbook. 2 Introduction: It is the last day of March 1943 and the sun is beaming into the window of your humble apartment on Macy Street in Los Angeles’ “Old Chinatown”.1 The day had arrived, Madame Chiang Kai-shek’s debut in Southern California. You hurry outside and push your way through a sea of black haired-people, finding an opening just in time to catch a glimpse of China’s First Lady. There she was! In a sleek black cheongsam, with her hair pulled back in a bun, she smiled graciously as her limousine slid through the adoring crowd, en route to City Hall. The split second in which you saw her was enough because for the first time in your life you were proud to be Chinese in America.2 As the wife of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, from February-April 1943, Madame Chiang, also known by her maiden name, Soong Mayling, embarked on a carefully- crafted and well-publicized tour to rally American material and moral support for China’s war effort against the Japanese.
