Steve Canyon Vol. 12: 1969-1970
$49.99
Written and illustrated by Milton Caniff
Stamp your passport for adventure, intrigue, and danger on your expedition to exotic locales with The Greatest Generation’s cartoonist-in-chief!
The landmark Steve Canyon, Volume 12 brings Milton Caniff’s picaresque novel through the end of the tumultuous 1960s and into a brand-new decade. Everyone’s favorite bird colonel travels from Alaska to Latin America and romances women from dominating millionaire Copper Calhoon to… Poteet’s old friend, Bitsy Beekman? Things are not always as they seem, but the course of love finally runs true on April 24, 1970.
The Rembrandt of the Comic Strips also does a serious turn, once again tackling the issue of addiction, more than eighteen months before President Nixon declared a “War on Drugs.” Meanwhile, Poteet Canyon covers the Powder Puff Derby as Bitsy enters the race, vying to become the champion woman pilot of 1969! On land or thousands of feet in the air, the action never stops in Steve Canyon, Volume 12!
The Greatest Generation’s cartoonist-in-chief, Milton Caniff, continues to appeal to two disparate groups–comics aficionados as well as active military and veterans. The Air Force created an official record for Steve Canyon, the only time a fictional character was so honored.

The Dragon Lady gets a bang out of her time with Papa Pyzon, but Terry, Pat, and Connie escape, only to have their first meeting with the lowest of the low, Tony Sandhurst—and is Pat in for a surprise when he meets Mrs. Sandhurst! Despite saving Sandhurst’s miserable life on multiple occasions, Tony connives to bring charges against Pat. Friends and a former lover help acquit him, even as Connie finds a new ally, the gentle giant, Big Stoop.

$100.00
Available through Cloverpress.us
Written and illustrated by Milton Caniff
Volume 2 of this landmark series—reproduced from Milton Caniff’s personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs—features the iconic 1936 daily and Sunday adventures, which continue their separate paths until the end of August when the stories—and cast of characters—are happily united once and for all.
In the Sunday Saga, Pat and Cap’n Blaze have it out across a checker board! Then things get really hot when the Dragon Lady and her men lay siege to Blaze’s encampment! A twist of fate puts Pat in charge of the Dragon Lady’s forces, but they’re mistaken for soldier-of-fortune pirates when the Chinese Army storms their position. It takes timely intervention from a surprising source to gain their freedom.
Meanwhile, in the Daily Saga, fists fly when Terry, Connie, and Pat are taken prisoner by the insidious Captain Judas—and sparks fly when the boys have their first meeting with beautiful, blonde Burma! The famous strips from March 16-21 steamed up the national audience and became one of the most imitated sequences in comic strip history. Later, cat claws are unsheathed against the backdrop of plague on the planation run by Stan and Wendy Wingate, Burma takes a dive, and with the daily and Sunday strips integrated into a unified storyline the boys once again confront the Dragon Lady before running afoul (accent on the foul!) of Papa Pyzon.

Terry and the Pirates debuted in October 1934. For the next twelve years, Caniff would weave a spell of exotic adventure, sex appeal, and humor. The cartoonist set the strip in exotic China, where historic events occurring in the region during the 1930s provided the raw material from which he blended fantasy and reality to create an extraordinary graphic narrative. The series introduces young Terry Lee, his adult pal Pat Ryan, their sidekick Connie, as well as an array of unforgettable brigands such as Captains Judas and Blaze, and the two toughest women to ever sail on the China Seas: the alluring Burma and the inimitable Dragon Lady.
No cartoonist has so heavily influenced his medium as has Milton Caniff, and no comic strip has had more imitators than Terry and the Pirates. Terry and the Pirates was read by 31 million newspaper subscribers between 1934 and 1946. Vol. 1 collects all dailies and Sundays from the strip’s beginning on October 22, 1934 through the end of 1935 in a deluxe 192 pp, 11″ x 14″, hardcover.

In these historic final strips, Gould pits his dynamic detective against the latest in a long line of grotesque villains—Pucker Puss, the hitman who literally spits death at his opponents. Tracy, meanwhile, takes his law and order campaign to television, while his past catches up to him when a criminal he helped convict twenty years ago puts the detective on his “to kill” list. To round out this volume, the squad room is kept busy with two members of B.O. Plenty’s extended family who are anything but law-abiding—Perfume Plenty and her larcenous cousin Dade. All this and more in the ultimate volume of Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy, collecting strips from March 15, 1976 to December 25, 1977.
