The Avenger: Roaring Heart of the Crucible Nancy Holder

The greatest crime-fighter of the 40's returns in a third thrilling collection of original, action-packed tales of adventure, intrigue, and revenge. Life was bliss for millionaire adventurer Richard Henry Benson until that fateful day crime and greed took away his wife and young daughter -- and turned him into something more than human! Driven by loss, compelled by grief, he becomes a chilled impersonal force of justice, more machine than man, dedicated to the destruction of evildoers everywhere. A figure of ice and steel, more pitiless than both, Benson has been forged into an avatar of vengeance, possessed of superhuman genius supernormal power. His frozen face, like a polar dawn, only hint at the terrible force the underworld heedlessly invoked upon itself the day they created... The Avenger! This limited edition hardcover features exclusive bonus material: an Avenger timeline, plus solo tales of the Avenger's aides by Howard Hopkins.
