If at Faust You Don't Succeed - Tapa blanda

When the harried Mephistopheles signs up a medieval cutpurse named Mack the Club for the latest battle between the forces of Good and Evil-- mistakenly thinking him the learned Dr. Faust--all hell breaks loose. Reprint.

lennial contest--between the forces  of Good and Evil for control of the  universe--didn't work out quite so well for Evil and its rooters.  But it's time for the next round, and this time  the demon Mephistopheles is carrying the ball for  the forces of Darkness. But all is not as it seems.  The harried archdemon mistakenly signs up a  medieval cutpurse names Mack the Club, thinking him the  learned Dr. Faust. The demon Azzie, still  stinging from the Evil's last defeat (and not being  chosen to head the current effort), takes events into  his own claws. And the pious angel Michael--well,  let's just say some of his tactics in the titanic  struggle to come are not quite cricket . . . .
