It’s funny how the Mack Bolan article doesn’t mention his most famous ripoff The Punisher. This is a weird case were the rippoff is more famous than the original.
Of course, nowaday the characters are not so similar.
Good point! The Punisher is certainly more like Mack Bolan than some of the other adventure series that came in the wake of the Executioner series, and much more famous than all of them.
