The Ghost of the actor who played The Bad in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly has risen and is slowly marching across the English Channel towards a mysterious destination. All we know is he's armed, dangerous, unerringly accurate and deathly silent and he's heading towards London..
Here are two LVC inspired comic book covers from 1984 and 1985 from the Turkish comic series TEKS.
A look at vintage Croatian comic with LVC on the cover
Looks like Jaroo from El Condor grew some hair!

Author Max Allan Collins based his character book series character Nolan on LVC
The Van Cleef resemblance (which was part of the Pinnacle covers, to a degree, and very much an element of the Perfect Crime reprints) is mentioned prominently in the novels. I met him once, interviewed him, and he treated me with amusement and at one point got briefly irritated with me. It was unsettling but memorable, being Jon to his Nolan. No guns were involved.

Here is a look at those book covers below!
The dimensions are approximately 20" by 30" and signed by Greg Winters. The painting is on premium art board and overall is in great condition aside from some wear around the edges and old tape residue.
Greg Winters has been a freelance illustrator since graduating from UC Berkeley and then Art Center College in 1982.
He has done the movie posters and product art for numerous movies including Gremlins 1 & 2, Witches, The Goonies, Hook, Back to the Future and many others.
Mean Frank and Crazy Tony was released on VHS in the mid-80's as part of Sybil Dannings Adventures Video line (which also include The Killing Machine). 
The film is also available on DVD in a highly cut version called Escape From Death Row. This originally released in the early 1980's no-doubt to cash in on the success of Escape from New York. 
Finally a legitimate DVD release! (in the UK anyway).
