Joe Millard was a comic book writer during the 40’s and 50’s mainly at Quality (The Barker, Plastic-Man, Thin-Man) & DC, Sierra Smith, a minor western character and a number of stories for their science fiction titles of the time, known for his wild imagination his story telling style fit with frequent partner Jack Cole perfectly.
In the 60’s Millard left comics and began to write paperback originals the most well regarded of which was a science fiction novel, The Gods Hate
Kansas, (filmed as They Came From Beyond Space), and a series of novels based on Clint Eastwood’s character The Man With No Name, first doing novelizations for The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and For A Few Dollars More, then following that with four more novels unrelated to any films in which he gave "Blondie," abilities that seemed to come straight out of the comics.
