Turns out that

  • August Derleth (of Cthulhu fame) tracked down Condo in his retirement, according to The Capital Times of Madison, Wisconsin on Nov 28, 1948 Page 4 - see image below.
  • A Capital Times article on Wed, Jan 17, 1951 Page 12 says that Derleth planned to publish a collection of old and new comics.
  • Finally, The Wisconsin Historical Archives has "4 oversize folders" of "Pen and ink drawings, 1948-1949, 1953-1954, by cartoonist A.D. (Armundo Dreisbach) Condo, featuring the character Everett True." (but... I imagine you have to actually go to Wisconsin and convince them to let you see them...)
