| | Checker to Collect Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Caniff's earlier work on the strip Terry and the Pirates, which first won him national prominence in the 1930s, was compiled by NBM, but is also out of print, making Checker's Canyon collections the only affordable and accessible source for the work of one of cartooning's true masters. |
 | | Caniff earned worldwide acclaim at the helm of Terry and the Pirates in the '30s and '40s, but eventually rebelled against his syndicate's editorial oversight and ownership of copyright to his work. |
 | | Caniff and his new home in print, Checker Book Publishing Group, share common roots in Dayton, Ohio, where Caniff was raised after relocating from his 1907 birthplace in nearby, rural Hillsboro, Ohio. |
