Miss Lace is probably the most delectable pen-and-ink creation of all time, the camp follower of every fighting man's dreams. Milton Caniff produced in her a confection of femininity which put all the 'pinups' in the shade. She is as fresh, stylish, titillating, saucy, sexy and delightful as ever today.
-Bill Mauldin, form the Foreword
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 GI's 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 Price winner Bill Mauldin, creator of Up Front with Willie and Joe. Enjoy!
