Prose stories
In the years 1972-1975 "Avon Publications" in the U.S. published 15 novels based on Lee Falk's Phantom stories; "The Ghost Who Walks", "The Mysterious Ambassador", "Killer's Town", "The Vampires and the Witch", "The Curse of the Two-Headed Bull" by Lee Falk, "The Slave Market of Mucar", "The Scorpia Menace" by Basil Copper, T"he Veiled Lady", "The Golden Circle", "The Mystery of the Sea Horse", "The Hydra Monster", "The Goggle-Eyed Pirates", "The Swamp Rats" by Frank S. Shawn (penname of Ron Goulart), "The Island of Dogs" by Warren Shanahan and "The Assassins" by Carson Bingham.
Avon also launched a six-book series of adult-oriented Flash Gordon novels in 1973: "The Lion Men of Mongo", "The Plague of Sound", "The Space Circus", "The Time Trap of Ming XIII", "The Witch Queen of Mongo" and "The War of the Cybernauts". Although the books were credited to Alex Raymond, they were all written by Ron Goulart.
It is believed that Avon at this time also worked on a similar series with Mandrake, but none was published. One script was translated and published in Spain and Portugal.
