Bertram Evans

Bertie Evans is a poor, loutish, drunkard who steals an ancient harp that summons evil creatures in the "Evil Twangs the Devil's Harp" story of comic book Web of Mystery #18 (May 1953).

Evans, living in 1787 London, is one of the few who can play the "mystic chord" on the harp that summons a trio of ghoulish creatures. Evans, who couldn't play a note before, can play the cursed harp with skill and beauty. He uses his new talent to become a wealthy, refined, musician, using his proper name Bertram, founding a shipping line and playing for the king and queen.
