That's a pretty good list. A couple off the top of my head:
Superspade
357 Vigilante
SLAM

Thanks Glen
By AggressorBrad, # 17. June 2006, 21:34:16
I have about 10 of these series your missing and be thankful the Ninja Master series.
By anonymous user, # 18. June 2006, 03:04:03
That's a pretty serious list. Nice work.
By anonymous user, # 18. June 2006, 03:18:38
Ran across something in this sort of line. Bit more post holocaust-survivalist perhaps, but looks like the same style of publishing.
Called Roadblaster #1 (if there are more, dunno, have to check).
by Pat Hofrichter
Only saw it because I knocked it off a second hand bookshop spinner rack by accident.
By anonymous user, # 18. June 2006, 03:28:10
Anon - Thanks. I have some new stuff to add at some point (basically when I get my ass organised enough.
Pat - The post apocalytic/holocaust/survivalist is a whole sub-genre of the Aggressor I haven't really touched on mainly because I have more than enough to keep me going without them and they don't really interest me. Although I still remember getting one of Jerry Ahern's SURVIVALIST novels for my 12th birthday, because my aunty couldn't find THE HARDY BOYS SURVIVAL HANDBOOK. LOL, that was a surprise I can tell you, I'd never read anything with swearing or sex before.

I'm sorry thats my bad puncuation I have 10 of the series you metioned. I meant that Ninja Master is missing.
Maybe later on after I finish the other Ninja Master books we can work out something. I also have the Year of the Ninja Master (4 book series same author)

Jerry Ahern instead of the Hardy Boys? Yeah, that is funny.

I'm not quite sure of the criteria you used to compile this list but there are a couple of western novel series that would fit into the "Aggressor" mold --
-- SCOUT a white Indian scout for the US cavalry.
-- unknown title but it was about a rogue confederate who went south of the border with his french comrade. I want to say THE MERCENARY or something like that. He always used a gatling gun and it was filled with violence and raunchy sex. Prety good actually.
-- there was another western series about a female gunslinger and her ninja companion. LONE STAR? They would both get laid at different times in the books.
-- LONGARM was a series about a sheriff turned bounty hunter.
By anonymous user, # 26. June 2006, 02:32:53
I tend to view contemporary series as aggressors, and leave the Aggressor Western as a seperate catergory. But there's no denying that the Western hero is an influence on The Aggressors - look at Marvel's A Man Called Frank to see how easy it is to tranplant the Aggressor in the Old West.
Stay tuned for my next post where I explain what I think an Aggressor is.

oh yeah, same publisher on same page had The Big Brain - The Aardvark affair listed that you mentioned to me a while ago.
By anonymous user, # 12. December 2006, 10:46:28
The WW2 setting sets this outside my definition of the Aggressor formula but they do sound cool
Brad
By AggressorBrad, # 12. December 2006, 11:03:02
I see more, your James Gunn is listed there.
and so is a
John Eagle : 1 Needles of Death by Paul Edwards

By anonymous user, # 12. December 2006, 11:14:15

That would be good, pick one, he has piqued my interest now.
By anonymous user, # 12. December 2006, 11:47:09
I can't believe nobody has mentioned the "Lady From L.U.S.T." spy thriller series by Rod Gray. It's similar to the Cherry Delight/Sexecutioner series by Glen Chase. For western aggressors, we have Lone Star by Wesley Ellis, Fancy Hatch by Zachary Hawkes(?), Angel Eyes by W.B. Longley, Headhunter by E.J. Hunter, and White Squaw also by E.J. Hunter(?), etc. There's a website for the Baroness here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheBaroness/ It has a list of female aggressors books. Check it out.
