MAIN STORY
The series premiered in 1947. Stopped in 1952 after 12 issues.

The series stars crime fighter, adventurer, and playboy Simon Templar, whose initials gave him the nickname The Saint (St. in English) as well as his characteristic trademark featuring a simple stickman with a halo hovering over his head.
Templar is often balancing on the edge of the law, which brings him in trouble with the authorities, but he always manages to sort things out in the end.
