Is there any collection of Milton Caniff's art on The Ohio State
University available in book or poster form?

Hi juice8227,


I have located 17 records of various works by Milton Caniff, although
there may be many more, located in the The Ohio State University
Cartoon Research Library.


"The Cartoon Research Library was established in 1977 in two converted
classrooms in the Journalism Building with the gifts-in-kind of the
Milton Caniff Collection and the Jon Whitcomb Collection."
(...)
"Current holdings include more than 370,000 graphic materials,
including 240,000 original cartoons; more than 20,000 books; more than
13,000 serial titles; and more than 2,800 linear feet of manuscript
materials. The papers of Milton Caniff, the Walt Kelly Collection, the
Robert Roy Metz Collection, the Woody Gelman Collection of Winsor
McCay cartoons, and the Will Eisner Collection are the most notable
cartoon art collections..."

What I have is a poster that starts "There is some tie that binds me
to this place..." and goes on to reflect on a student's OSU memories. 
The poster, which also includes some of his drawings, is over thirty
years old, and faded.  I was hoping to find a replacement.
Thank you so much for the information you sent. If you have more,
please let me know.  Otherwise I will rate your answer and  search the
cartoon library.
