; "Meanwhile... A Biography of Milton Caniff")
MILTON CANIFF, A Biography by Robert C. Harvey, hardcover, 952 pages plus covers, 6" X 9", Fantagraphics. The book is huge! And it has to be to contain all the detail. Nothing is left out -- it covers Caniff's entire life, from his early years as a kid in Hillsboro, Ohio, until his death. Milton Caniff was one of the most influential American cartoonists of the 20th century. He rose to prominence during World War II when he took the characters in his Terry and the Pirates strip into the war. The trenchant pragmatic patriotism of the strip warmed hearts and steeled nerves on the home front as well as the battlefront (one of his strips was read into the Congressional Record). He went on to create Steve Canyon, which was syndicated from 1947 to Caniff's death in 1988. Numerous pix and illustrations -- $34.95 FREE MEDIA RATE SHIPPING!
