Avenger Saturday presents: "The Happy Killers" paperback


 A pretty decent cover although I disagree with the fuchsia color of the masthead.  It does feel a bit cramped, though.  How does it compare to the original pulp art?


If the modern version of The Avenger were used I would have to give the nod to the pulp.  However, when they changed him from having grey skin and hair the character lost, well, his character.  It would be like having Lamont Cranston or Kent Allard on the cover of The Shadow magazine rather than the instantly recognizable Man in Black.  So I give the nod to the paperback on this one.
