Brief description:
He's been called "The Rembrandt of the
Comic Strip" and the "Greatest Generation's Cartoonist-in-Chief." No
comics artist has so heavily influenced his medium and no cartoonist has
seen more imitators than Milton Arthur Caniff, the creator of Terry and
the Pirates, Male Call, and Steve Canyon.
Review Quotes: If the 'Greatest Generation' had a cartoonist-in-chief, Caniff was it.
With the advent of World War II, Terry --originally a boy traveling in
China...matured and enlisted in the Army Air Corps. Terry and the Pirates
became the unofficially official comic strip of U.S. forces in the
Pacific theater.
