Buzz Cardigan : The Man From P.A.N.S.Y.

Vintage Gay Male Adventure Series.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. began The Man from O.R.G.Y., a humorous, soft porn parody. The Man from O.R.G.Y. begat many imitations including women like The Lady from L.U.S.T, The Miss from S.I.S. and even The Girl from A.U.N.T.I.E.

For gay men there was also The Man From C.A.M.P. The Man From C.A.M.P. was something of a success (and is currently in print). That is likely what prompted a publisher to issue The Man from P.A.N.S.Y., queer spy Buzz Cardigan.

Don Rico wrote a number of forgotten comic books. No shame is that. Most people who wrote comics created material that was best left unremembered. Late in his life he churched out lots of commercial fiction for the lower end of the market. Including Buzz Cardigan. Buzz was a noted homosexual (?), spy and action hero. His adventures seem to have been barely read and are unremembered.
