Cross-media picks for Glen A. Larson fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.
Fans of Glen A. Larson's work tend to gravitate toward misfit teams, lone operators running from rigged systems, and genre mashups that play action with a knowing wink. The picks here share that same pulse: framed operatives executing clever escapes, bionic lawmen in chrome-plated futures, scrappy ensemble adventurers, and pulpy what-ifs that take themselves just seriously enough. Whether it's SilverHawks or The A-Team, the throughline is escapist entertainment with an ensemble heart.
