Maybe The Punisher Should Think About Trying This Out...

So, The Avenger...no, not those guys...and no, not THOSE guys, either...

OK, let's start again. Richard Henry Benson, a.k.a The Avenger, and the head of Justice, Inc., is leading a pal to track down a mook. But...



[editor's note--yes, The Avenger's gun is named Mike. He also has a gun named Ike. That's just how the Golden Age Of Pulps rolled]


And yes, according to the books/magazines, Benson could shoot that well.

And it should be noted that, despite his wife and child being killed by the mob, Benson didn't set out to kill all criminals--just to end all crime.

So what's your excuse, Frank Castle?

From Justice, Inc. #3 (1975). Yes, Denny O'Neil and Jack Kirby did a Justice Inc. series. It only lasted 4 issues...

    I read the pulp novels of The Avenger, which was put out by the folks that brought us Doc Savage. As I recall some sort of trauma had left his face immobile, and he could mold it as a sort of disguise.
