It’s because of Richard Anderson that THE BIONIC BOOK ever happened. He not only gave a then-exclusive interview to Herbie J for the book, but also wrote the Foreword and helped secure interviews with Lee Majors, Lindsay Wagner, and, among many others, Martin Caidin, who penned the novel CYBORG that the entire BIONIC franchise was based on. As both Richard and Oscar Goldman (the Bionic boss he played on both Bionic shows) would say, "Thank you, Pal."
