book 1 Justice, Inc. (The Avenger) 1972

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 matters 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.

book 3 The Sky Walker (The Avenger) 1972

A harsh, droning sound from an invisible plane. A man mysteriously walking in the sky, and huge skyscrapers collapse like matchsticks. Can the Avenger halt a master criminal's reign of death and destruction?
In the roaring heart of the crucible, steel is made. In the raging flame of personal tragedy, men are sometimes forged into something more than human.
It was so with Dick Benson. He had been a man. After the dread loss inflicted on him by an inhuman crime ring, he became a machine of vengeance dedicated to the extermination of all other crime rings.
He turned into the the person we know now: A figure of ice and steel, more pitiless than both; A mechanism of whipcord and flame; A symbol to crooks and killers; A terrible, almost impersonal force, masking chill genius and super normal power behind a face as white and dead as a mask from the grave. Only his pale eyes, like ice in a polar dawn, hint at the deadliness of the scourge the underworld heedlessly invoked against itself when crime's greed turned millionaire adventurer Richard Benson into The Avenger.
