Comic-strip historian-geeks will appreciate this treasure I stumbled across today, in a thrift store, for less than CAN$2: a book collection [which appears to be a first printing, 1945] of the #ComicStrip #MaleCall by #MiltonCaniff . Non-historian-geeks will need to be informed that Caniff is like the Shakespeare AND Rembrandt of #comics -- one of the greatest and most important #cartoonists in the history of the medium.

And the sweetest bonus of all: AUTOGRAPHED.

#MiltonCaniff #BOTD

An American #Cartoonist famous for his long-running adventure #ComicStrips , #TerryandthePirates and #SteveCanyon . 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 #MaleCall , an adventure comic strip featuring soldiers, which was available exclusively to members of the armed forces.
