Terry and Connie accompany a badly wounded Pat Ryan downriver to a hospital owned by a trading company. Intrigue and squabbles accompany Pat’s recuperation, as a new boss takes over the company. Mr. Sandhurst is not only aristocratic — better than the “English and American beachcombers on the payroll” — but also indifferent to the plight of the indigenous population. Oh, and Mr. Sandhurst is an extremely jealous husband to his young and pretty wife, who has a history with Pat.

Boy, Pat was always ready to mix it up, wasn't he? Seems like he was constantly punching people.
ReplyDeleteCharles, in those days Pat was considered a two-fisted he-man, and nowadays he might be court-ordered into counseling for anger issues.
ReplyDeleteSo is the story that the 1947 Terry's narrating 1930 reprints of the newspaper strip, or did Caniff just write and draw a whole new adventure that took place in the past? I'm guessing the former but not sure. It's been a long while since I looked at a T&tP collection, but I seem to remember Caniff's art being more cinematic in the '40s.
ReplyDeleteKirk, these are newspaper reprints, not material drawn for the ocmic books.
