When urban crime seems to be out of check with the police unable to handle every incident and people too scared to even walk along the road what happens?

Do the police give up as resources are over stretched while the public scream for action? How can the police be everywhere: at every location where there is going to be a minor or serious crime? They can't.

Is vigilante action required?

The early 1980s created Attacker could have been anybody. He appeared in a series of no text strips dishing out violence for violence. 42 years later his/her identity is still unknown. With some takes on the character by Ben R Dilworth and a Preview to the Return of the Gods series this is action all the way.

The Visitor

I have no idea what happened to Niall Richardson but he had a nice art style. This strip is circa 1987

 

Heroes In.....Because

Garza -Jungle Duel

 

The Purple Hood

 

Black Tower: Runestone -The Beast of Exmoor

 

From BT Presents 2, 1987, Philip Horton (who also worked on The Raider strip) inked and lettered over my pencils. To be honest it was a huge improvement on my self drawn strip from no. 1 which...well, the less said the better.

Horton's style was improving but, again, he just  no longer communicated so mkaybe comics were not for him -who knows!

Ben Dilworth redrew the origin in Adventure vol. 2 nos. 6-10
