As of the turn of the century, that little booklet that Count Dante sold in the back of the comic books was the number one selling "published work" in Martial Arts history. I don't know if that has changed.

Iconic stuff, that whole Dante thing. Walking a bull through the main streets of Chicago to generate publicity, having the first "dojo war", and Dojo war death. I think his name was Jim Concevic) "Death Touch", I mean, really, how can you come up with something that tops the term death touch in the minds of 1960's comic book readers?

Count Dante was right up there with the Lone Ranger.
