Eugene Debs, probably the most well known socialist in US history, ran for president while in prison.
I think what makes Kovacs so great is that he just did whatever the hell he wanted. Television was new enough where many of the tropes and conventions hadn't been established yet. Kovacs was free to create whatever came in to his mind. I wonder how differently TV would have developed if he hadn't died so early in his career.
