[As an experiment in 1950, Gold Medal books published Mansion of Evil by Joseph Millard,–their only title that was printed in color comic-book form instead of text. The format was not repeated, and this paperback, #129, is among the most difficult to find.] [Author of westerns including 'The Cheyenne Wars: The Dramatic Saga of the Greatest of all the Indian Tribes' (1964), 'Cut-Hand, the Mountain Man' (1964), and 'For a Few Dollars More' (1965). He also wrote mystery (Mansion of Evil, 1950) and science fiction (The Gods Hate Kansas, 1964), and biographies such as 'The Wickedest Man: The Extraordinary Story of the "Gentleman from Hell"' (1954) and 'Edgar Cayce: Mystery Man of Miracles' (1956).] Bit of a renaissance man! No clue as to the artist, tho. But its excellent work. A very rare book, thank you to the uploader.

I can understand someone thinking this is George Evans. He might conceivably have had something to do with the inking but I doubt it. There's something agonizingly familiar about the pencils that I can't put my finger on. They give off weird Fawcett hero vibes. Pete Costanza????

Years later, I learned that the artist is Bud Thompson.

The main artist anyway. George Evans did 3 or 4 pages before he had to give up (not sure if those pages were used) and Carl Pfeuffer finished it. More info at http://martinohearn.blogspot.com/2022/03/artist-of-first-or-second-modern.html
