Written by Paul S. Newman and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Ayers—pencils, inks, and lettering all by the same hand—this 1955 thriller blends Cold War tension with high-stakes espionage. The cover by Bob Powell captures the mystery and danger with a stark, atmospheric image.
When Colonel Ralph Wright and his wife are taken by Russian agents, the threat is clear: force him to write a letter to his brother Roger, the inventor of a revolutionary new airplane. With time running out and the stakes dangerously high, Roger Wright—known only as The Avenger—must race to uncover the truth behind the kidnapping before the Soviets get what they want.
