STEVE CANYON HC (2025)

"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 Caniff women are also on display, as Steve Canyon Volume 1 features steely yet sexy 'Copper' Calhoun; 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. Edited and designed by Dean Mullaney, with historical essays by Bruce Canwell, Steve Canyon is presented in a matching hardcover set to the Library of American Comics's Eisner Award-winning Terry and the Pirates. Everyone who enjoyed Terry won't want to miss this sequel in which the horizons are truly unlimited! "

"In the second volume of The Complete Steve Canyon, the temperature of the Cold War heats up and Milton Caniff expands his already large cast even further. Steve re-engages with Copper Calhoon, encounters Chinese warlords such as Serge Blu, spies like Madame Lynx, and joins a secret air force from?Western democracies taking on thinly disguised communists. In the midst of all this intrigue, Happy meets his Hooligans, Reed Kimberly falls head over heels for Princess Snowflower, and Steve learns that the end of the 1940s may be the best years of their lives. "

"In Volume 3 of The Complete Steve Canyon-reprinting every strip from 1951 and 1952-new and old characters are paired off. Breck Nazaire and Dr. Deen Wilderness return. Steve meets the lovely Duchess of Denver and the sadistic Fungo; gets assigned to Eel Island, where he encounters crusty Colonel Index and his not-so-blushing bride; is sent to protect a government secret at Maumee University, only to reconnect with Summer Olson and meet her mysterious friend, Kate Subjekt; and eventually gets caught in the deep woods with Miss Mizzou and Roy Himmerskorn before coming face to face yet again with not only Summer, but the Copperhead herself-Copper Calhoon! Edited and designed by Dean Mullaney, with historical essays by Bruce Canwell, Steve Canyon is presented in a matching hardcover set to the Library of American Comics's Eisner Award-winning Terry and the Pirates."

"Volume 4 of The Complete Steve Canyon opens with Steve as the newly minted Light Colonel bringing the jet age to the town of Indian Cape-and the natives are after an old friend's scalp! Can Steve and new sidekick Pipper the Piper find a way to still an entire town's wrath? Canyon encounters old friends throughout 1953 and into 1954: Princess Snowflower, the irascible Dogie Hogan, and the leader of a band of Hooligans on horseback. Of course, there are girls, girls, girls-Herself Muldoon, Summer Olson, plus Miss Mizzou, still wearing that trench coat! Then Steve looks up the Indexes, and the sparks really start to fly near the top of the world! "

"Milton Caniff's square-jawed hero is back in the Orient and crossing paths with old friends and new enemies. Doe Redwood and the Hall family reappear on the scene, as does another young friend who is working hard to grow up. There are also more hearts and flowers in store within the tangled web that ensnares Steve, Summer Olson, and Copper Calhoon, while Happy Easter returns stateside but ends up having a Gay old time on the Savannah. As 1956 races to a conclusion, a new member of the Canyon clan steps on-stage-get ready to meet Cousin Poteet! "

"Things take a decidedly domestic turn in our sixth volume. Can Summer and Steve rekindle their love amidst the action of high school basketball? Can Poteet find happiness on the polo field? Since this is Steve Canyon, not all the action takes place at home, and old friends unexpectedly pop up in new places. Miss Mizzou feels overdressed on Finger Island-Colonel Sam Index reappears at Higgs Air Base-Princess Snowflower comes to America as a pawn in Doagie Hogan's plan to attack Communist China-and Savannah Gay teams up with none other than Bob Hope in a special Christmas story. Everyone's favorite Light Colonel dodges death and femme fatales alike in volume six of The Complete Steve Canyon!"

"The Fifties end and the Sixties start swingin' as Steve Canyon penetrates Communist East Germany on the trail of elusive Minerva Kaol, 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, while Convoy, Summer, Copper Calhoon, Holly Hall, and high school graduate Poteet all return. From Spain to Alaska, Latin America to Japan-the globe-spanning action is non-stop!"

"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. Milton Caniff tackles the escalating Cold War throughout 1961 and '62 as Steve Canyon finds himself trapped, alongside old friends Princess Snowflower and Doagie Hogan, in a net of intrigue between the USSR and Communist China! Meanwhile, as the Cuban Missile Crisis plays out in the waters south of Florida, Steve Canyon and the alluring Miss Mizzou attempt to preserve our freedom by stopping another Red plot hatched at the Panama Canal! These never-before-reprinted strips include full-color Sunday pages, and are reproduced from Caniff's own file copies. Bullet points: * Advance solicited for January release! * 'This 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.' -Gordon Flagg, Booklist"

"Six white horses laid a president to rest as a nation wept, but Milton Caniff knew that a man-and a nation-must carry on. In these stories from 1963-64, the globetrotting Steve Canyon foils diabolical enemy plots in half a dozen countries. Steve goes undercover in Turkey, tries not to get clawed by his old 'friend' Cheetah during an encounter in western Mexico, and tackles a communist plot in Africa. Things are no quieter on the home front, as Copper Calhoon and Summer Olsen have it out, while cousin Poteet helps uncover a foreign agent planted at the 1964 World's Fair. It's action, humor, and mystery in the distinctive Caniff style in these never-before-reprinted daily and full-color Sunday comics. Advance solicited for January release! 'This 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.'-Gordon Flagg, Booklist"

"Shades of Terry and the Pirates! Steve roams the Far East in Volume 10, learning that politics makes strange bedfellows as he first teams up with Cheetah in Taiwan, then goes undercover in Hanoi to rescue 'Herself' Muldoon! In between, he encounters another femme fatale from his past, now harrying the Hong Kong waters under the nom de guerre 'Madame Hook.' Sports are also prominent, as gangsters squeeze Poteet and Shaky Blopp in order to get points shaved on the basketball court. Steve races to stop a Communist plot to drop an atomic bomb on a football stadium (!), and baseball works its magic to save the day-and an old friend-in far-off Mahnay. Milton Caniff is synonymous with adventure and spine-tingling excitement, and they're on display throughout Steve Canyon, Volume 10. Available in January 2020."

Stamp your passport for adventure, intrigue, and danger on your expedition to exotic locales with The Greatest Generation's cartoonist-in-chief! "Who am I?" "Where am I?" Steve is left with some thorny questions after posing as the leader of a Nazi resurgence organization and teaming with Minerva Kaol in an attempt to flush out this hate-mongering group. If that wasn't headache enough, guess who's back from his stay in a Mongolian prison? Doagie Hogan, that's who! Stateside, Poteet finds a new friend in young aviatrix Bitsy Beekman. Together they tackle drug smuggling, explore the upcoming Olympic games, and deal with the scourge of society--hippies! Milton Caniff offers his unique perspective of the war-torn world of 1967 and '68 in Steve Canyon, Volume 11!
