Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon: 1953 (Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon Series) - Softcover

In 1947, after 15 years as a comic artist, Ohio-born Milton Caniff did soemthing that no cartoonist had ever done - he left oen successfully syndicated strip to start another from scratch, in compelte editorial control for the first time. He released it under his own copyright and syndicated it himself. That strip was Steve Canyon.

Surprisingly insightful and character driven, the plots serve to put the characters through interesting challenges. But the emphasis is on personalities and relationships, which is probably why the strip connected with an international audience every day for almost half a century.

There are wordless fight sequences and car chases; gorgeous, high-kicking, high-cheek-boned femme fatales; the use of montage and other cinematic effects. Paul Kane --Compulsive Reader
