Born in Harwood, Pennsylvania, he had a lifelong fascination with airplanes, especially early airplanes and flying, which had a profound effect on his career. As a teenager he actually sold a few things to (primarily aviation) pulp magazines. After the war, they were not a viable market for him, so he began working for comic books, selling to Fiction House, EC and other comic book publishers. During the late 1960's he was an assistant to and ghost artist for George Wunder on the comic strip Terry and the Pirates.
George Evans: All the superhero stuff eludes me. At D.C., editors urged me to take on pencilling or inking on Batman and/or Superman because they paid a better rate page but I always felt there HAD to be some interest besides just money in what you did or it was a millstone around your neck.
George Evans: Schedules for the Evans were a joke when I lived near the ocean (with kids who loved that ocean), so I turned to night work and sleeping till noon.
George Evans: Roger's talents and education should have him doing every kind of painting, but he loves the comics medium and is willing to work at it even for short bucks and heartbreaking schedules.
