Male Call

Milton Caniff’s Male Call is a single-issue comic from 1959, published by Grosset and Dunlap, that collects the legendary cartoonist’s World War II-era pin-up strip created exclusively for military newspapers. Featuring the wisecracking, resourceful Miss Lace, the series offered GIs a morale-boosting blend of glamour and humor, showcasing Caniff’s signature dramatic inkwork and sharp dialogue. Though brief in its collected form, it remains a celebrated artifact of wartime comics and a testament to Caniff’s mastery of the medium.
