Fortvivl ikke, for du behøver ikke være bange for, om Checker Books når i mål med den klassiske avis-serie “Steve Canyon” af pantheon tegneren Milton Caniff. Næsten hele serien har været genoptrykt i en eller anden form i de sidste fyrre år. Ikke altsammen så luksuriøst som i de store bøger i tværformat fra Kitchen Sink, noget af det har været serialiseret i små bidder i publikationer som “Menomonee Falls Gazette” og “Comics Revue”. Selv i det gamle fanzine “Caniffites”, et fanzine, jeg aldrig har set, men hørt meget om.

Steve Canyon was a classic strip, August 22, 2005
| By | Frederick Norwood “Rick Norwood” (Mountain Home, TN USA) – See all my reviews (REAL NAME) |
Milton Caniff left Terry and the Pirates to create his own comic strip, Steve Canyon, and these early adventures are some of his greatest work.
All but a few years of Steve Canyon have already been reprinted, by Kitchen Sink, in the Menomonee Falls Gazette, in Comics Revue monthly, and in Carl Horak’s Caniffites, but it is good to have the beginning of the strip back in print from Checker Books. Until his support of American troops in Vietnam lost him many of his readers, Milton Caniff was one of the most popular cartoonists in the world. His snappy dialog and interesting characters, especially his female characters, make his strips well worth seeking out.
Og her får I et par forsider af det legendariske fanzine “Caniffites”:
