Rough justice has often been served in the pages of serial novels,
notably beginning with Don Pendleton's ""The Executioner"" in 1969.
This is the first overview of the serial vigilante genre, which
featured such hard-boiled protagonists as Nick Carter, Mark Stone,
Jake Brand and Able Team among the 130 series that followed
Pendleton's novel. Serial vigilantes repeatedly take the law into
their own hands, establishing and imposing their own moral
standards, usually by force. The book examines the connections
between the serial vigilante and the pulp hero that preceded him
and how the serial vigilante has influenced a variety of tough
guys, private eyes, spies and cops in different media. It features
a complete bibliography for each series.
