Description
Miss Lace was the main charachter in a comic titled Male Call. Male call was an American comic strip series created and drawn by Milton Caniff on a volunteer basis, exclusively for US military publications during WWII. Overall with frame 14-1/2" high x 10-3/4" wide. Milton Arthur Caniff (1907 - 1988) was active/lived in Ohio. Milton Caniff is known for Cartoonist-action genre. Milton Caniff produced adventure comic strips for over half a century. He is regarded by many as one of the best writer-artists to work in the genre, and in the 1980s was one of the few surviving practitioners of that demanding craft. During a good part of his long career, he set the standards against which the competition has since been measured. After beginning with Dickie Dare, Caniff went on to draw two major strips, Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon. Milton Arthur Paul Caniff was an only child, born in Hillsboro, Ohio. From that small Midwestern town, where he spent his first 10 years, came several of the influences that shaped his life. His father worked in the print shop of the local newspaper, and Caniff, who went to work in a newspaper art department at 14, thought of himself as basically a newspaperman all his life. Some wear and discoloration to paper. LR Provenance: From the estate of Mary Trost who last resided in the multi generational family home located in Clarks Valley, Dauphin (Harrisburg) Pennsylvania.
