MAGAZINE ENTERPRISES - The Avenger Volume 1 Issues #1 - #4 Feb/Mar1955 - Aug/Sep 1955   
PLUS - The Killers Issues #1 1947   


Created by DICK AYERS and Gardner Fox, wealthy scientist Roger Wright became the superhero known     
as the Avenger for one reason: To avenge the death of his brother, who was tortured and killed by Soviet     
agents. His assistant, Claire Farrow, made his costume; Roger asked her to make it after he saw Claire buy     
a Ghost Rider mask for her nephew.     
The Avenger had no powers, but he had his own inventions to fall back on, most notably his VTOL aircraft     
known as the Starjet and Dissolver pistol. The Avenger also possessed a utility belt containing items for     
almost any occasion. He mainly focused on thwarting the schemes of Soviet forces, both in his native     
Empire City and around the world. He occasionally battled less conventional villains, such as the Robot     
Robber and the Player.
