<< Dick Tracy Comic Strip Author Dies
Michael Kilian Is Toledo, Ohio Native
POSTED: 7:25 am EDT October 27, 2005
CHICAGO -- Michael Kilian -- a veteran Chicago Tribune
columnist who also wrote mystery novels, nonfiction on public
affairs and the Dick Tracy comic strip -- died early Thursday
after a long illness. He was 66.
The Toledo, Ohio, native spent nearly 40 years at the Tribune
and wrote more than 6,000 articles on subjects ranging from
politics and military affairs to show business, the arts and
the niceties of "high society."
Kilian was regarded as one of the Tribune's most versatile
writers, equally at home covering a Pentagon briefing as he
was a White House State Dinner or a drama opening.
Kilian's 24 books reflected his wide interests. They included
mysteries set during the Civil War and the 1920s, as well as
novels about terrorism and presidential intrigue.
