The Saint
Avon · 1947–1952 · 12 issues
About the series
Leslie Charteris, the creator of the suave vigilante Simon Templar, personally scripted this Avon series, which ran for a concise 12-issue run from 1947 to 1952. With art by Mike Roy, Allen Ulmer, and Walter Johnson, the comic translated the gentleman thief's globe-trotting adventures into a visual medium, capturing his charm and knack for outwitting criminals. While a brief entry in the Saint's long publishing history, this series stands as a key period where Charteris himself directly oversaw the character's transition to comics.
