Thanks for posting, Groove. Niven's story must have been VERY popular back in the day. Jeffrey Jones also illustrated an adaptation in one of the Skywald titles.

That's Steve Ditko's "Killjoy," who appeared a couple of times in the back of the original run of "E-Man." He just popped up to beat up thugs as Ditko's usual batch of liberal straw-men whined and whinnied about how "unfair" it was that crime should be punished. It was amusing in spite of itself.
ReplyDeleteAh,thank you,Doctor.
