MILTON CANIF TERRY & THE PIRATES & STEVE CANYON MEANWHILE SC
by R.C. Harvey Milton Caniff, Terry and the Pirates, and Steve Canyon: Meanwhile... traces Caniff's life from the cradle to the grave, marking the milestones in the development of the comic strip (Steve Canyon, and Terry and the Pirates) that Caniff established. Caniff reshaped the medium and set standards by which all storytelling strips were subsequently judged. Although Caniff adapted to changing fashions, he is best known for innovations such as his impressionistic chiaroscuro drawing style that suggested reality economically with shadow rather than with detail. The book examines the artistic innovations and work routines of a nationally distributed cartoonist whose career was central the development of the artform, marking along the way the milestones in the development of comic strip artistry that Caniff established.
