Steve Canyon ran from January 13, 1947 until June 4, 1988, making it one of the longest running classic adventure strips of the twentieth century. As of 2006, it's finally getting the deluxe treatment; Checker Books is publishing the entire run of the strip in one year increments.
It's fairly easy to recognize that these two short stories are comprised of re-purposed daily strips (which happened often during the 40s/50s when publishers wanted a comic magazine of a popular strip, but were too cheap to commission original stories), but they're edited fairly well, and provide a decent introduction to the characters. On the downside, twelve pages is nowhere near representative of the longer, complex narratives that the strip was famous for.
