He's a hard-hitting, hard-drinking, hard-loving, Russkie-smashing secret agent...
...who could be played by Daniel Craig (who hadn't been born at the time this tale was told) if there was a Duke Douglas: Secret Agent movie!
Not only is he a Russkie-Smasher, Duke Douglas is a Russkie-Kisser!
What is it about Good Guys and Bad Girls in genre fiction?
Our Hero's premiere
tale from
Comic Media's Danger #7 (1954) was written by Ken Fitch and illustrated by Don Heck.
Note I emphasized "tale", since he
actually premiered on the cover of the previous issue...
...without having an actual story inside the book!
Neither of the stories promoted on the cover feature
him!
But
every issue after that until the end of the book's run featured two or three stories starring the Agent with a Vest...and you'll be seeing them here!
