Luke King

Archie Goodwin scripted this six-issue series from Editorial OEPISA, which launched in 1975 and has continued periodically ever since. George Tuska and John Romita provided the artwork, grounding the title in a gritty, urban visual style. The series follows the adventures of its title character, Luke King, a figure whose tough-guy persona and street-level exploits helped define a certain strain of 1970s action comics. Its modest but enduring run makes it a cult favorite among fans of the era's more grounded, character-driven storytelling.
