"The Wealth Seeker"


 Classic cover.  This was reprinted twice so it must be deemed one of the better early tales.  After its premiere in America...


...The Thriller got ahold of it and changed the title to "The Hush-Money Expert".  Not sure how much of the story was changed but the cover seems to have taken a scene from the tale.  Then...

 

...we hop back over the pond and see that H B Jove books (who took over as the imprint from Pyramid) chose it as their 21st entry into the short lived paperback reprint run in 1978.  Nice cover from the great James Steranko but I prefer the original Rozen piece.
