Measures 8-1/2" X 11", 112 pp plus covers, b&w illustrations, written & illustrated by MILTON CANIFF, issue #17 (August 1986), published by Kitchen Sink Press (WI).

One of the greatest newspaper action adventure newspaper strips of all times was STEVE CANYON, as created by MILTON CANIFF (who formerly had written and created TERRY AND THE PIRATES).  Steve Canyon is a World War II veteran with the Army Air Force Air Transport Command; and, occasionally in civilian life, operates his own worldwide air transport company, Horizons Unlimited, while also serving in the U. S. Air Force Reserve.  Steve's adventures take him around the world, leading him into two-fisted, hard boiled adventures with an intriguing host of friends and enemies.

Steve's hair-raising adventures continue with this episode (July 25 through December 7, 1952), as he attempts to return to the United States on a single-engine bush plane, which crash-lands in the Canadian wilderness.  After a rescue attempt from a deadly waterfall, Steve is finally reunited with his fiance Summer Smith Olson in Chicago.  Featured in this episode are SUMMER SMITH OLSON, LEYTON OLSON, JR., TERN, EUSTICE T. SLURK, ROY G. HIMMERSKORN, ALICE HIMMERSKORN, MISS MIZZOU, BONBON CARAMEL, SGT. STEUBEN, CONSTABLE BURR, and COPPER CALHOON.
