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.

found your site looking for a Butcher cover the exact one you have by the way. Nice site g through my archives for more of the same at bypasscontrol.blogspot.com or my new column over at Bookgasm.com. I'll be covering pretty much the same material along with other assorted titles.
