A Flipside Inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Milton Caniff<\/strong>, often referred to as \u201cthe Rembrandt of comic strips,\u201d was an American \u201cadventure\u201d cartoonist famous for his long-running comic strips,\u00a0Terry and the Pirates\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Steve Canyon<\/em>. Unable to pursue his desire to join the military due to a medical condition, Caniff also used his artistic talents to contribute to the morale of U.S. troops during World War II with the creation of\u00a0Male Call<\/em>, an adventure comic strip featuring soldiers, which was available exclusively to members of the armed forces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Born in Hillsboro, Ohio, Caniff began\u00a0drawing in kindergarten. While a student at Stivers High School, he created cartoons for local newspapers. It was also at Stivers where he met his future wife, Ester Parsons. At Ohio State University, Caniff illustrated for campus publications and, upon graduating in 1930, he began his career at the\u00a0Columbus Dispatch<\/em>. In 1932, Caniff moved to New York City and accepted an artist job with the Associated Press, drawing comic strips such as\u00a0Dickie Dare<\/em>, a youth who dreamed of adventures with legendary figures such as Robin Hood and King Arthur.<\/p>\n

Caniff created one of his signature comic strips,\u00a0Terry and the Pirates,\u00a0<\/em>after he started working for the\u00a0New York Daily News\u00a0<\/em>in 1934. Publisher Joseph Medill Patterson wanted an adventure strip set in the Orient and Caniff\u2019s research led him to learn about Asian families for whom piracy was a way of life passed down for generations. Thus began the adventures of Terry Lee, a boy traveling with mentor and fellow adventurer, Pat Ryan. Caniff\u2019s most memorable creation was the Dragon Lady, a ruthless and calculating pirate queen.\u00a0 He continued to work on the\u00a0strip until 1946.<\/p>\n

Terry and the Pirates\u00a0<\/em>was owned not by Caniff (the strip’s creator), but by the distribution\u00a0syndicate, the Chicago Tribune-New York Daily News. Although this was standard practice at the time, Caniff was frustrated that he did not own the work he created, so in 1946 he negotiated to own a new comic strip of his creation; Marshall Field, publisher of the\u00a0Chicago Sun<\/em>, agreed to his terms.<\/em>\u00a0Caniff was one of only a handful of\u00a0syndicated cartoonists who owned their creations, and he attracted considerable publicity as a result. It was this decision, completely, unprecedented for the time, that lead to our creation of Flipside Comics. The action strip,\u00a0Steve Canyon<\/em>, was the result of this deal. It featured a civilian pilot, Steve Canyon,\u00a0who became an Air Force pilot during the Korean War. Caniff continued to produce the strip until his death in 1988.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Though he was unable to enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces, Caniff donated all of his work on his\u00a0Male Call\u00a0<\/em>military-targeted adventure strip. In 1987 he was made the first honorary member of the 8th Air Force Historical Society in recognition of\u00a0Male Call<\/em>\u2019scontribution to the war effort. One of the founders of the National Cartoonists Society, Caniff served two terms as its President, in 1948 and 1949. The Society named him Cartoonist of the Year in 1947, and then again, in 1972. Other notes of recognition\u00a0include his induction into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1988, and his receipt of the National Cartoonists Society\u2019s (NCS) Elzie Segar Award in 1971, the NCS Award for Story Comic Strip in 1979 for\u00a0Steve Canyon,\u00a0<\/em>and its Gold Key Award in 1981. The NCS has also named their\u00a0Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award in his honor.\u00a0Caniff died in New York City at the age of 81 after a battle with lung cancer.<\/p>\n

A collection of Caniff\u2019s papers, original art, personal and business papers, correspondence, research files, photographs, and memorabilia is presently housed at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum in Columbus, Ohio.[3] A selection of his work is also part of the permanent collection of the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caniff died in New York City in 1988. Along with\u00a0Hal Foster<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Alex Raymond<\/a>, Caniff’s style had a tremendous influence on the artists who drew American comic books and adventure strips during the mid-20th century. Evidence of his influence can be seen in the work of comic book\/strip artists such as\u00a0Jack Kirby<\/a>,\u00a0Frank Robbins<\/a>,\u00a0Lee Elias<\/a>,\u00a0Bob Kane<\/a>,\u00a0Mike Sekowsky<\/a>,\u00a0John Romita, Sr.<\/a>,\u00a0Johnny Craig<\/a>,\u00a0William Overgard<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Doug Wildey<\/a>\u00a0to name just a few. European artists were also influenced by his style, including Belgian artists\u00a0Jij\u00e9<\/a>,\u00a0Hubinon<\/a>\u00a0and Italian artist\u00a0Hugo Pratt<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
