I read this on the Avenger page
http://www.moonstonebooks.com/avenger.asp
Only once in several lifetimes does the world get such a man a Richard Henry Benson, known as The Avenger.
A man who had amassed a fortune in his early years, he was ready to enjoy life to the fullest with his wife and daughter when diaster struck, which vacuumed his soul right out of his body.
His family was taken from him by crime, and to make matter worse, no one believed him. He was forced into an insane asylum. He escaped.
His facial muscles were paralyzed by the tragedy, so he could press his face into any position to adopt any guise.
From that day on, The Avenger's only drive in life was to bring destruction to crooks who operated beyond the law, and usually he made sure it was by their own hand!
Little by little, he gathered around him associates who, likewise, had been irreparably damaged by crime, and now lived only to see criminals get their just desserts, and they are called JUSTICE, INC.
Moonstone will be producing ALL NEW tales of The Avenger, starting with an anthology of new prose stories!
With contributing authors:Tom DeFalco, Joe Gentile, Bob Greenberger, Clay and Susan Griffith, Ron Goulart, CJ Henderson, Howard Hopkins, Robert Jeschonek, Paul Kupperberg, Max McCoy, Christopher Mills, Will Murray, Gary Phillips, Martin Powell, Robert Randisi, James Reasoner, Richard Dean Starr, & Dan Wickline.
Cover art by original Avenger paperback cover artist Peter Caras and Doug Klauba!
So far so good but here is where it gets real interesting
And then stay tuned for a special wide-vision graphic novel where the Avenger teams up with the Spider...written by David Michelinie!
is this the begining of a Pulp classics crossover event or what :-)[/quote]
Still, I would love to see that into comic book (vertical) graphic novel, preferably in hardcover too
The Spider & The Avenger, that should be pretty cool stuff
