SARGE STEEL, THE TOUGHEST MAN IN THE WORLD !!!

"A cool knowing man who savors danger... who will not make one concession to fear...
and whose fees may be as little as a smile from a pretty girl!"

Sarge Steel masterfully illustrated by Dick Giordano.

Sarge Steel is a highly-trained, very experienced Special Forces man with cross-training in intelligence and experience as a private detective. He’s been described as a guerilla ace and is extensively trained in several martial arts, including fencing and hand-to-hand combat techniques to defend against armed opponents.

This was the last issue titled Sarge Steel, the next issue, #9, continued as Secret Agent. 

Though I missed Giordano, Montes & Bache did a good job on the series.

Back cover for Sarge Steel #8. Fun ads!

Most of Sarge Steel's cases involved various international conspiracies and eventually, he became an official government agent with the book retitled Secret Agent. After that, it only lasted two issues.

I enjoyed the series then and I still enjoy it now. It's a shame it hasn't been collected in a nice, hardcover collection. There's enough material in the series, since it was also a back-up in the Judomaster comic as well. 

I enjoyed the series best when Giordano was illustrating it.
