Milton Caniff and Roy Crane were routinely cited as an influence by Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert, Will Eisner, and just about every other Golden Age creator who matters. I definitely plan on reading their stuff at some point.

I think you'd do interesting things with a "soldier-of-fortune" type of character. I say go for it.

Cool. Let me know what you think when you do. If you read Terry and the Pirates, you can literally see Caniff start out as a bad copy of Roy Crane and develop into his own style from strip-to-strip. It's pretty amazing.
