Bill Benulis is an unsung genius, especially when inking his own work, as in the first story.

Thanks for bringing him to my attention. I'll be looking out for more.

He apparently only had a short career. He apparently gave up drawing due to the afteraffects of childhood polio.

The Wikipedia article says that he had a distinctive style but if you look at the lambiek examples and the planet comics story they imply a wildly creative imagination. Maybe even Steranko level.
A tragedy.
