PAPERBACKS • FICTION • MEN'S ADVENTURE SERIES • THE DESTROYER

All entries are listed chronologically:

Inarguably one of the most successful men's adventure series of the last four decades, The Destroyer (1971-present) features government operative Remo Williams, and has distinguished itself from similar fare with its use of political and social satire. Created by Richard Sapir and Warren Murphy, the series has since enlisted a host of ghost writers over the years. The Destroyer is not only one of the few men's adventure series to be adapted into a comic book format, it has also inspired a theatrical film, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985), and a pilot for a failed television series which originally aired in 1988.
