A popular and innovative adventure-strip artist, and one who was much imitated, Milton Caniff began drawing newspaper features in the early 1930s and kept at it for the rest of his life.
It was there that he met and became friends with Noel Sickles, the cartoonist-illustrator who was to have such a profound effect on his approach to drawing.
From almost the beginning, his story lines and dialogue were relatively sophisticated, influenced by the movies, as was his drawing style, which used cinematic shots and impressionistic inking.

After abandoning the popular "Terry and the Pirates" strip in 1946, Caniff launched "Steve Canyon," a similarly red-blooded series featuring a globetrotting pilot who specialized in dangerous assignments in far-flung locales, vanquishing foes and breaking hearts wherever he went.
The stories, taking Canyon from the Middle East to Burma, offer heavy doses of intrigue and derring-do, and largely avoid the jingoism the strip took on a few years later when, reflecting the cold war zeitgeist, Steve joined the air force and battled commies.
Aficionados recognize Caniff as one of the field's most accomplished and influential masters; Checker's affordable reprints allow his talent recognition by a broader audience.
