Vintage 160 page mass market paperback titled THE AVENGER #10: THE SMILING DOGS by Kenneth Robeson/ Warner Paperback Library #74-142, First Printing, March 1973/ Is there a connection between two political murders, a sanity-test bill, reforestation plans for a national park and a tiny man with a green smiling dog? The Avenge embarks on a weird hunt to connect the links of a deadly chain. 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 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. The book is complete and in GOOD condition with some overall wear that includes some creases and spine wear. The inside pages are tanning. This is a complete, solid reading copy.
