Deadliest Man Alive

The Deadliest Man Alive

Remember those ads in comic books. You too can become almost as deadly as the deadliest man alive. His main skill was Marketing and Hyperbole. Did this ad make me seek out over half a lifetime of training? Nope. But I still love how visually stunning it is.

Master of the DEATH TOUCH!

One of the best 1970s comic book ads ever created!

Before he was Count Dante and proclaimed himself "the Deadliest Man Alive", John Keehan was a progressive martial artist that didn't take any guff.

Master of the Oh Phooey! Fighting Society

deadliest man alive!

If you've read late '60s or early '70s comic books, then you're probably heard of the Black Dragon Fighting Society. Founded in 1967 by karate master, John Keehan, billed himself as "The Deadliest Man Alive" under the name 'Count Danté,' the mysterious sounding martial arts group advertised relentlessly through full-page ads in comic books. One had only to mail order his World's Deadliest Fighting Secrets instruction book to receive a free Black Dragon Fighting Society membership. Danté was disillusioned with conventional karate's focus on ceremony, tradition and protocol over what he felt to be effectiveness and developed his own style that he called street-effective.
