to the Bolan Wars at Miami, and a new determination was forged in the mind
of the man now universally feared and respected by the underworld, Mack the
Bastard Bolan. (The Executioner: Miami Massacre.)
In this new determination, the mission was to remain alive and to carry
the war continually to the enemy - to keep them frightened, to harass their
programs and sneer at their delusions of grandeur, to hurl their omnipotence
back into their teeth and reduce it to a trembling impotence - these were
the desired effects of the new dimension of Bolan's war.
Meanwhile, remain alive. And this was not easy, with every law
enforcement agency in the nation geared to his apprehension and with armies
of bounty hunters swarming his trail. In this interest, Bolan
unintentionally found himself in France and involved with a continental arm
of the mob, and soon all of Europe (plus an American expeditionary force)
was trying to crush him. (The Executioner: Continental Contract.) It was
here that Bolan came to the realization that, "To be truly alive, you have
to be ready to die for something. Harder still, there are times when you
have to be willing to kill for something."
Bolan found that he was both ready to die and willing to kill. In an
act of compassion and loyalty, he rejected the compelling tug of "Eden" and
the loving arms of a dazzling French movie star to rescue a group of
Parisian joie girls who had befriended him and were subsequently suffering
from the vindictiveness of a local Mafia chieftain. Putting his war where
his heart was, Bolan exposed himself to the most comprehensive threat to his
existence yet undertaken as he launched a series of lightning assaults
against the combined forces of international headhunters. His battle magic
and utter scorn for personal danger blazed a trail of destruction across
France and Bolan learned that there are "no crossovers between Hell and
Eden."
When again we encountered Bolan, The Executioner , he was in England
and searching out a homeward path. His search, however, quickly became
Assault On Soho , and Bolan discovered that, "... I am living in an
invisible domain of violence that follows me wherever I go." He also found
that all pathways home were crossed with extreme jeopardy, and swinging
Londontown very quickly began to throb to the Executioner's battlecry.
Diverse forces were closing in on Bolan in England, and he learned the hard
way that the Mafia held no monopoly over evil.
Nevertheless he overcame the coalition of underground power in London
and dealt another mortal blow to a cancerous tentacle of Mafia influence,
but not without taking on a new appreciation of fear, and disgust for this
spreading menace.
He returned to New York with the personal commitment to "bust this
kingdom of evil if I can live that long." But New York turned into a
nightmare and an orgy of bloodletting that shook even this combat veteran to
the very depths of his being. (The Executioner: Nightmare in New York.)
It was here that he encountered the master plan of Cosa di tutti Cosa ,
or the total domination of American life by underworld interests. In his own
unique way, Bolan postponed the realization of that master plan even while
accepting the fact that he could never, by himself, totally destroy the
Mafia. It was a war of impossible dimensions which one man alone could never
hope to win. Thus began the new phase of the Bolan Wars, the war of
