This review is from: City of the Living Dead (Richard Blade, No. 26) (Mass Market Paperback)

While the promo on the back says Richard Blade is a hero in the tradtion of Tarzan, Doc Savage and Conan, it is more like he is a hero in the tradition of Flash Gordon, John Carter and Michael Kane.

He gets transported to Dimension X, and a different place every time, it appears. Here, he is sent to a country that is divided, with primitive warrior bands on one side of a wall, and a technologically advanced civilisation that survives with robot and android labor on the other. The latter is slowly dying until Blade shakes stuff up, and causes a war.

Give these are from the 70s, on stage shagging is permissible, which is not the case for some of his heroic lineage.

"Fortunately, Richard Blade was one of the most perfect specimens of physical and mental development alive. He was very likely the most unkillable human being in the world."

Could border on 2.25 this stuff, it is fairly flat, and Blade is one superconfident guy, with weapons, or without.
