Strankov bared yellow fangs, as if by sheer will he could rip out the masked man’s throat.  “You Americans are so prosaic.”  “I’d probably be insulted if I knew what that meant,” said the Red Menace. - #1: Red and Buried



WHO IS THE RED MENACE?

Throughout the 1950s this was the number one question from Moscow to Beijing and in every communist palace and malaria-ridden backwater in between.  The mysterious masked figure was a shadow and a whisper.  For the Kremlin and its fellow travelers he was a damnable monkey wrench tossed into the gears of the not-so-glorious worldwide revolution.  Wherever Reds schemed, the Menace was there to set things right.  And then, just like that, 1960 came and the whisper grew silent.

Twelve years later, Podge Becket, computer tycoon and security expert, thinks he's hung up his mask and cape for good.  He escaped the spy game while still a young man, and none but a select few know about his long-dead secret identity.  But into his restless retirement steps a ghost from his past, a bitter Russian colonel with nothing to lose and the means to wreak worldwide destruction.   

Aided by his partner, brilliant inventor and physician Dr. Thaddeus Wainwright, the Red Menace is dragged back into the hero game.  But it's a whole new world out there, and if the Menace doesn't watch his step the swinging Seventies might just find him RED AND BURIED!
