Steve Canyon

[GrayHairedWarriors]

For those of you not from the stone age as we are....Steve Canyon was a comic strip drawn by Milton Caniff after he gave up Terry and the Pirates.  His strips always featured exotic women and often contained these women in fights.  Does anyone still have copies of any of these fight strips?  I believe there were at least two famous ones in the late 1960s....one with  Copper Calhoon (the Dragon Lady of Wall Street) fighting an Arab(?) woman and one with Steve;s "ward" Poteet Canyon fighting a Koren(?) girl Suki Susie.

Would love to see these again, and any others that may exist, and I'm sure the members would get a kick out of what was being done in the newspapers during that period.

Most of these strips have been reprinted so go to a comic shop or maybe even a library and track down the collections and thumb through.  I'm sure you'll find them.

Thanks for the reply....you posted this image some time ago and I replied with the original photo Caniff used as a model.  This fight was not one of he ones I mentioned so he did a bunch of these.  Some of his strips have been reissued but, to the best of my knowledge, as of yet not these later ones.

Along this line, there is a strip, (that appeared in Grit Magazine- us fossils may remember this publication) where Steve is thinking of Summer and her athletic skills. One of the panels shows her in a victory stance in a boxing match. I can not seem to locate a reprint of this. Anyone have it?

The strips through 1964 have been reissued in book form.  I didn't know Canyon was in GRIT and have found no reference to it so it could be just another outlet or it may have been a reprint of earlier strips.  If you have the date of the issue of GRIT you might have a chance to locate it.

Just did Google searches for "Milton Caniff Catfight" and "Steve Canyon Catfight" and found dozens of the old strips several with catfight scenes.  Seemed to catch some extra ones as well (Teen a go go if I remember right was one with several catfight scenes).

Tried that search but didn't really turn up anything.....Teen-A-Go-Go was drawn by Bob Powell and not Caniff

Back to the response from the Grit Magazine comics. They may very well have been reprints. The center of the magazine (which was in newspaper form) always had two full pages of comics. The Steve Canyon strips were 'full' comics (which may take up a full page in a book of reprints). Sorry, I'm not sure what issue it was in.
