Description

From the publisher:

From April 1958-on, these strips were never reprinted in the Kitchen Sink editions. 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!

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.

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
