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 horizons are unlimited after World War II when Steve Canyon assembles a flight crew of veterans for his new air-transport business. Action flies high as Canyon and his men befriend Happy Easter, cross swords with the hirsute Herr Splitz, and match wits with Chief Izm. The Caniff women are also on display, as Canyon meets the steely yet sexy “Copper” Calhoon; 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. The Library of American Comics launches this highly-awaited reprinting by collecting every daily and full-color Sunday from 1947 to 1948 in a single hardcover volume. There’s excitement, humor, lovely women, and wonderful art in the exciting Caniff style!

This is the third volume in Checker Book Publishing's comprehensive reprinting of the early cartoons and illustrations of Winsor McCay. Many of the works published here are seeing print for the first time since their original publication early in the previous century. The 1907 installments of "Dream of the Rarebit Fiend," perhaps McCay's best known work other than "Little Nemo in Slumberland," are included here, as is an assortment of his editorial cartoons and spot illustrations during his earlier days in New York. It also presents chapter-length reprintings of the strips "Little Sammy Sneeze," and "A Pilgrim's Progress." McCay's pioneering manipulations of the comic art form in its infancy, combined with his often unorthodox and humorours subject matter (including a fascination with dreams and nightmares) earned him extreme popularity during his lifetime and an enduring influence on subsequent generations of cartoonists, illustrators and animators. Note: The reader may encounter in this volume a number of images which do not meet modern Western standards for racial and ethnic sensitivity. In the interests of completeness and intellectual honesty regarding McCay's career, such images are included unedited. Book jacket.
