Steve Canyon is an action-adventure comic strip that ran from 1947 to 1988. It was created, written, and drawn by Milton Caniff, the creator of Terry and the Pirates.Steve Canyon was an ex-Air Force pilot running his own air-transport business, which brought him into contact with a variety of adventures. When The Korean War broke out in real life, Caniff had Steve rejoin the Air Force, where he remained for the rest of the strip's run, transitioning after Korea into Cold War counter-espionage.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In later years, Caniff varied the tone of the strip by interspersing occasional storylines giving the limelight to various members of Steve's supporting cast, in particular his cousin Poteet, who started out as a student and later became a journalist.The strip inspired a Steve Canyon TV series in the late 1950s, starring Dean Fredericks. Steve Canyon was also one of the comic strip characters included in the 1972 Massive Multiplayer Crossover The Man Who Hated Laughter.

Remember the Alamo: Parodied. Steve was having a dream, chock-full of anachronisms, about being part of Perry's 1850s expedition to open up Japan. When a quarrel with the local authorities began, he suggested the ambassador say "Remember Pearl Harbor!" as a "So there!" The ambassador used it and then asked Steve, "Where the heck is Pearl Harbor?"

Distinguished Gentleman's Pipe: Steve smoked a pipe, to show that he wasn't your usual rough-and-tumble pilot. He was a thinking man's fighter jock.
