Copyright © 2007 Click here to subscribe to The New Yorker. From The New Yorker In this ground-breaking adventure serial, a pair of eager Americans, a boy named Terry Lee and a young fortune hunter named Pat Ryan, land in China to search for an abandoned mine and quickly find themselves facing a succession of gangsters, warlords, pirates, and femmes fatales up and down the coast. Ryan, a two-fisted, often shirtless he-man, exhibits an arrestingly sexual chemistry with various bad girls. Period colonialism and chinoiserie occasionally combine for some awkwardly overheated depictions, but Caniff visualized his setup—Robert Louis Stevenson by way of the pulps—with a cinematic flair that remains thrilling because it is played straight

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 . IDW Continues to Raise the Bar I'm a longtime comic strip aficionado, and a collector of reprint volumes. The popularity of Fantagraphics' The Complete Peanuts has brought a resurgence to this genre that, for me, has been no less than thrilling.
