“The collection, sharply reproduced from syndicate proofs, brilliantly shows off the hallmarks—cinematic storytelling, dramatic illustration, exotic locales, appealing characters, and snappy dialogue—that made Caniff one of comics’ most highly regarded and influential artists.”

STEVE CANYON like you’ve never seen it before—
NINETEEN
59 60
The Fifties end and the Sixties start swingin’ as America’s favorite light colonel meets new women—and reconnects with femme fatales from his past. Steve Canyon penetrates Communist East Germany on the trail of elusive Minerva Koal, then crosses paths with Deen Wilderness before crossing swords with old foe Madame Lynx! Xenia Barker, Alice Santa Fe, and Mindee Ludeesh are fresh faces (and if newcomer General Phil Philerie seems familiar, that’s because he’s based on real-life WW II hero Phil Cochran), while Convoy, Summer, Copper Calhoon, Holly Hall, and high school graduate Poteet all return. This volume also provides extensive coverage and commentary from experts related to the short-lived Steve Canyon television series, Milton Caniff's first-ever trip to the Far East in 1960, and the photograph session that supported his celebrated Canyon storyline involving the Red Cross. From TV to the printed page, from Spain to Alaska and Latin America to Japan—the globe-spanning action is non-stop in The Complete Steve Canyon, Volume Seven!
