Robert Campbell and R. Wright Campbell are the same guy. As
R. Wright Campbell he wrote a book called THE SPY WHO SAT AND
WAITED, and probably a couple of others. I liked his series
with Jimmy Flannery, all of which had animals in the titles
(JUNKYARD DOG, etc.). He was a screenwriter, too, and
probably his most famous work in that area was THE MAN OF A
THOUSAND FACES, though some of us would remember him better
for Roger Corman classics like THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH,
TEENAGE CAVEMAN, and HELL'S ANGELS ON WHEELS. Not to mention
MACHINE GUN KELLY. Some people credit him with having
originated the "La-La Land" phrase to describe Los Angeles,
but I don't know if he did.
