SAEZ DE ADANA, Francisco. The Reflection of Americanism in Milton Caniff’s Work. Norteamérica [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.1, pp.101-120. ISSN 2448-7228.  https://doi.org/10.20999/nam.2018.a008.

This article looks at what many authors have termed “Americanism” in the work of Milton Caniff, which allows us to trace this ideological current’s evolution throughout the twentieth century. Caniff’s work shifts from support for Chinese Communist resistance against the Japanese invasion in the pre-World War II Sino-Japanese War, to the crusade of a character like Steve Canyon against Communism during the Cold War, largely following U.S. American ideology in each of these historical moments. This ideological evolution is the central object of this study.
