Demons by Daylight (1973)

This book is
to Jenny
for everything;
in memory of August Derleth, friend and critic;
and
to my mother
without whom it would scarcely have
been possible;
to Betty Kujawaw
who first suggested publication;
to Kirby McCauley
who encouraged it;
and, if they don't mind, Tony and Kate,
Barry and Sylvia, Stan Lee, Barry Smith, Jack Kirby, Denny O'neil, Neal Adams, and many others who in their different ways have kept me going meanwhile.

On the poster outside the Cooperative Hall, forming from the stars twined in the foliage, Charles had read: 'BRICHESTER'S FIRST BE-IN--FREE FLOWERS AND BELLS!'
