(1924-2010) US illustrator and writer, active in Comic books in the 1950s. He was a highly prolific author of Westerns, under his own name and under various pseudonyms. His sf, which was unremarkable, included two Swinging Spy tales – The Spy with the Blue Kazoo (1967) and The Spy who Came in from the Copa (1967) as by Dagmar, and Cybernia (1972) under his own name, which expresses Computer paranoia through the tale of a town in the grips of a mad brain. The Darklings (1975), as by Julie Cameron, is fantasy. [JC]
