Any of you guys old enough to remember the late 40's early 50's comic book hero Steve Canyon...?? Well, he had a TV series in 1958-1959 as well, and volume 1 is out on DVD. This is great stuff for the wing nuts around here that are into Century series jets and other late 1950's USAF cold war flying hardware....
Check it out...

I remember Steve Canyon, the strip and tv series. When I was a kid, I used to have a Steve Canyon jet helmet.

My brother had that helmet!...White Plastic with an embossed Air Force insignia on the front. I turned that into a Darth Vader Helmet in 1977...if I had only known.

We didn't have the mask, although my brother is 9 years older than I so we might have...but we did have a book that was about Steve Canyon ...where he saves some young lad from a Soap Box Derby car run amuck and then teaches him about respect and safety etc...
He always reminded me of Race Banner from Johnny Quest?....

Is Steve Canyon like Steve Austin?
Worth 6 million dollars?
Sorry guys - too young for Steve Canyon.
Anyone see the new Adam Sandler movie: "Bedtime Stories"?
It has an Evil Knivel Stunt bike and launcher in it.
Anybody have one of these when you were a kid?

I had the Evil Kneivel motorcycle. It could not jump the canyon between the kitchen table and an end-table from the couch dragged into the dining area for landing purposes.
