Jason King (TV series) by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment production company (which had become successful with such series as "The Saint" and "Danger Man"), for ATV – Grade's broadcasting subsidiary of ITC.

An analogue of Jason King appears in the comic book series The Invisibles, written by Grant Morrison as "Mr. Six", the so-called "Last of the International Playboys", and member of "Division X". In
