STEVE CANYON HC #1
1947-1948
(W) MILTON CANIFF (A) MILTON CANIFF (CA) MILTON CANIFF
Steve Canyon like you've never seen it before-reproduced directly from MILTON CANIFF's personal set of syndicate proofs! For the first time: the definitive edition of the Steve Canyon newspaper strip by MILTON CANIFF featuring every Sunday in color and the daily strips in their original, uncropped versions. Caniff quit Terry and the Pirates in 1946 to begin Steve Canyon and it became his biggest-selling work. Forever known as the Rembrandt of the Comic Strip, Caniff is at the absolute peak of his artistic prowess in these strips. Your passport is stamped for Adventure, Intrigue, and Danger on your expedition to exotic locales with your pilot, the one and only Steve Canyon! The Caniff women are also on display, as Steve Canyon Volume 1 features steely yet sexy "Copper" Calhoun; the beautiful schemer, Delta; that modern-day Mata Hari, Madame Lynx; Dr. Deen Wilderness, who is as capable as she is lovely; plus Captain Shark, Convoy, and the footloose Fancy. Edited and designed by Dean Mullaney, with historical essays by Bruce Canwell, Steve Canyon is presented in a matching hardcover set to the Library of American Comics's Eisner Award-winning Terry and the Pirates. Everyone who enjoyed Terry won't want to miss this sequel in which the horizons are truly unlimited!
STEVE CANYON HC #10
1965 - 1966
(W) MILTON CANIFF (A) MILTON CANIFF (CA) MILTON CANIFF
Shades of Terry and the Pirates! Steve roams the Far East in Volume 10, learning that politics makes strange bedfellows as he first teams up with Cheetah in Taiwan, then goes undercover in Hanoi to rescue "Herself" Muldoon! In between, he encounters another femme fatale from his past, now harrying the Hong Kong waters under the nom de guerre "Madame Hook." Sports are also prominent, as gangsters squeeze Poteet and Shaky Blopp in order to get points shaved on the basketball court. Steve races to stop a Communist plot to drop an atomic bomb on a football stadium (!), and baseball works its magic to save the day-and an old friend-in far-off Mahnay. MILTON CANIFF is synonymous with adventure and spine-tingling excitement, and they're on display throughout Steve Canyon, Volume 10. Available in January 2020.
