DESCRIPTION:
Breck Nazaire and Dr. In the third volume of The Complete Steve Canyon — reprinting every strip from 1951 and 1952 — new and old characters are paired off. Steve meets the lovely Duchess of Denver and the sadistic Fungo; gets assigned to Eel Island, where he encounters crusty Colonel Index and his not-so-blushing bride; is sent to protect a government secret at Maumee University, only to reconnect with Summer Olson and meet her mysterious friend, Kate Subjekt; and eventually gets caught in the deep woods with Miss Mizzou and Roy Himmerskorn before coming face-to-face yet again with not only Summer, but the Copperhead herself — Copper Calhoon!Edited and designed by Dean Mullaney, with historical essays by Bruce Canwell, Steve Canyon is presented in a matching hardcover set to the Library of American Comics's Eisner Award-winning Terry and the Pirates..
