Over on Chuck Dixon's message board, the question was posed: who are your top ten favorite fictional characters? So here's mine, in no particular order:James Bond – from both Ian Fleming's books and the movies
Tarzan – from both Edgar Rice Burroughs' books and the movies
John Gaunt a/k/a Grimjack
Dick Grayson a/k/a Robin, Nightwing
Parker – from the Richard Stark novels
Mike Hammer – from Mickey Spillane's novels (and I like Stacy Keach's version, too)
Matt Helm – from the Donald Hamilton novels
Richard Wentworth a/k/a The Spider
James Tiberius Kirk
Sherlock Holmes

I found your site through Sid William's blog. Good stuff.

Those are all favorites for me too. Others for me include Philip Marlowe and Lew Archer.
Hum, I tried to comment on your blog twice but nothing seemed to go through. I riffed off your post over on my blog about fictional characters. I found the link through Sid Williams' blog.
