Terry and the Pirates: Difference between revisions

Most notable of all was the famed femme fatale, the Dragon Lady, who started as an enemy and later, during the war, became an ally. Caniff included a number of non-American women who fought the heroes and had the funny habit of referring to themselves in the third person. These included the Dragon Lady herself and crooks and spies like Sanjak and Rouge. In a rather bold move for a 1940s comic strip, Sanjak was hinted at being a lesbian and cross-dresser with designs on Terry's girlfriend April Kane.

 

 

* [[Ace Pilot]]: Dude Hennick

* [[Affably Evil]]: Cap'n Blaze. He may be a warlord, but he is a jolly old soul who enjoys a game of checkers with his captives.

* [[All Amazons Want Hercules]]: Implied to be a major factor in the Dragon Lady's desire for Pat Ryan.

* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Baron de Plexus

* [[Artifact Title]]: Although pirates continue to appear throughout the run of the strip, the title "Terry '''AND''' the Pirates" doesn't really apply after the first arc.

* [[Desk Jockey]]: Terry gets a speech from his commanding officer just after he gets his flight status which includes him stressing him treating the US Army's bureaucracy with respect.
