A sort of Green Arrow meets Cowboy comic. A crack shot with knife, gun and anything else he could get his hands on. Pretty much the same character as Frank Millers villain Bullseye who turned up in Daredevil twenty odd years later!.... Simon and Kirby launched Mainline Comics, to minimal fanfare and mediocre sales. With titles like In Love, Foxhole, Police Trap and Bulls-Eye, they had all the popular genres covered. They were the most successful and well-known creators in comics history. And they failed miserably. Most titles lasted only four issues.
