Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. -- Psalm 69:6 |

Milt Caniff's Steve Canyon 1947
Checker Book Publishing Group
Milt Caniff
You will find no finer piece of literature in the world of comic strips or comic books than STEVE CANYON. Sadly, I started reading this strip in its waning years, as the Vietnam war was ending, and newspapers and readers starting turning away from what was a patriotic and military oriented story. However, we can recapture the magic of the strip's early years in this fine trade paperback series by Checker BPG.

Suspended Animation Review
Meanwhile (Milton Caniff/a biography/951 pgs. & $34.95 from Fantagraphics Books /written by Robert C. Harvey/available at book and comics shops, and at www. fantagraphics.com.
It is made clear by the author of Meanwhile and many other creative folk that Milton Caniff was “one of the greatest creators of popular fiction of the twentieth century…” But not one person who gasped at the massive biography of Caniff’s life that I carried with me to myriad places had heard of him, and none of them remembered his comic strip Terry and the Pirates; a few said “oh” at the mention of his comic strip Steve Canyon.
