It was far tamer by then (the 1960s till the strip ended) than those knuckle-bustin' early days of the strip. But it stood out to me, even as a little kid, for the interesting art. Also running the funny papers at that time was Nancy (with the true hero of the strip, Sluggo), Kerry Drake, and prolly some other interesting things (if I can recall after all these years). Canyon was the most interesting, after B.C., for me.Duane Spurlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102074370101800708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-26955762539348062112011-12-02T15:16:20.915-06:002011-12-02T15:16:20.915-06:00I'm a fan of Terry and the Pirates and Steve C...I'm a fan of Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon.

I never read it then, didn't care for Wunder's art, and the stories didn't appeal to me at that time. I read some of his work reprinted years later and thought it was pretty good, though not up to Caniff's level. The adventure strips I liked as a kid were DICK TRACY, BUZ SAWYER, SMILIN' JACK, and a long-forgotten one called PETER SCRATCH.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-14140142864463263602011-12-02T10:04:28.788-06:002011-12-02T10:04:28.788-06:00IDW's Library of American Comics is going to b...IDW's Library of American Comics is going to be doing a nice hardcover reprint series of Steve Canyon starting in January. It's supposed to be in the same format as their gorgeous Terry & the Pirates series, so larger strips than the Checker books, better reproduction, and Sundays in color. I'm looking forward to that.Penelopecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463050977618922374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-56246946445741852962011-12-02T08:57:56.373-06:002011-12-02T08:57:56.373-06:00I had a deprived childhood, never having followed ...I had a deprived childhood, never having followed either Steve Canyon or Terry and the Pirates; neither strip appeared in newspapers my family read. For some reason neither television series drew my attention.
