Captain Judas

A shadowy presence haunting the pages of NBM's Terry and the Pirates, Captain Judas made their entrance in 1986 alongside some of the most beloved names in adventure comics — Terry, Burma, Pat Ryan, and the rest of Milton Caniff's storied cast. Caniff, the legendary cartoonist whose original Terry and the Pirates strip defined swashbuckling serial adventure, lends this character an unmistakable pedigree right from the debut issue. With only three catalog appearances across the series' brief Copper Age run, Captain Judas is a rare, tantalizing figure — the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through a short-lived revival series so rewarding for the dedicated collector.
