Just who was The Enforcer cloned from #3

Okay, unless I find any more cover images using the same model in other series this will be the last post on this topic.
In 1964, Bantam books started reprinting the Doc Savage pulp novels.


In the 1970's Warner Books reprinted The Avenger pulp novels


Both reprint series used male model/actor Steve Holland as the basis of their heroes faces. Holland had previously played Flash Gordon in the 1950's Tv series.

Thanks to http://www.micahwright.com/savage.htm here is a picture of Holland posing for the Doc Savage covers.

So we can see the influence of the pulps on the agressors with Holland's face being used for Doc Savage, The Avenger, The Enforcer, Agent from COMINSEC and John "Hangman" Smith from Killsquad as well as playing Flash Gordon.

Okay another one where it looks like the the samed cover model was used for the pictures. The gentleman on the Killsquad cover is John "hangman" Smith.

Gee I wonder if I can claim this as a legitimate connection? I knew I'd seen the picture on the Enforcer before, but I was surprised to see that The Enforcer and Agent for COMINSEC were published by different publishers.
