Steve Canyon #24
In "Taps for 'Shanty' Town," Steve Canyon faces a new kind of mission: reopening a shuttered air base amid community resistance—only to find his biggest challenge isn’t the bureaucracy, but his impulsive fourteen-year-old cousin, Jo, who’s suddenly in his care. Written and drawn by the legendary Milton Caniff, with inks by Dick Rockwell and Peter Poplaski, this 1989 issue from Kitchen Sink Press blends Caniff’s signature storytelling with sharp, expressive art, all framed by a cover that captures the tension and humor of the moment.
