In November 1982, Comic-Con founder Shel Dorf worked with legendary comic artist Milton Caniff (1907 - 1988) as a letterer for his famous comic 'Steve Canyon'. With help of Tom French he videotaped a lengthy interview with Caniff about his life and work on 'Steve Canyon' and 'terry and the Pirates'. Thankfully, this tape was digitized an publically made available.
The interview was split into 11 shorter videos, so put them all into a playlist below. Thanks to Charlie Roberts for providing the tape:
Here are some samples of Milton's original artwork for his comics. Truly amazing stuff from the Golden age ! (click to enlarge):
