Summary: | When World War II began, master cartoonist Milton Caniff created a newspaper strip for military newspapers only. Called "Male Call," it featured the GI's sweetheart, Miss Lace. Circulated to 3,000 camp papers, it offered a breath of humor and a hint of sex in a world at war. Now in this deluxe collection of the complete "Male Call," see what 15 million GIs followed each week from 1942 to 1946. Included are the strips the military censored, Milton Caniff himself talking about the times and the reasons "Male Call" was created, and a special Foreword by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bill Mauldin, creator of "Up Front" with Willie and Joe.
