Comment

A really beautiful daily by Caniff from what I believe is his peak period and also from my favorite comic strip story line of all time. Here the Dragon Lady is helping Terry learn to dance so he can impress April Kane at the ball. Terry had recently saved the wounded Dragon Lady from some thugs and nursed her back to health and she repays him with lessons in dancing and women. The Dragonlady also has other plans but those don't come to light until later in the story. Sigh... this is a piece that makes me very happy to own.
