Date of birth/death
http://www.kingkong.demon.co.uk/ccer/1957x.htm reports on an expired copyright listing
- Manly (Miles) BANISTER {US} [M: 1914 Mar 9 - 1986 Jun]
Conquest Of Earth
http://www.authorandbookinfo.com/ngcoba/ba2.htm lists "Conquest Of Earth (aka: The Scarlet Saint) [f|1957]" - I used this as a source to add The Scarlet Saint as a novel with Conquest Of Earth as a VT. The goal is to link the two titles.
The Airmont printing of Conquest Of Earth seems to support this as it states
- Bouregy edition published June, 1957. (This is not in ISFDB but we have an Avalon Books edition at that date)
- Airmont edition published August, 1964.
- ©, Copyright, 1957, by Manly Banister
- ©, Copyright, 1955m 1956, Ziff-Davis Publishing, Co.
The story also supports the title The Scarlet Saint as the main character wears a scarlet robe/cape as a badge of office showing membership in "The Scarlet Order of Men."
Eegoboo
The story Eegoboo is not in ISFDB but there's also unsuffient data to established where it was published

- Eegoboo: A Fantasy Satire [f|{57:E}1957] - This story is not listed in ISFDB.

The Nekromantikon
Manly wrote in this article about starting a magazine The Nekromantikon. http://ampersandduck.blogspot.com/2007/05/remember-to-breathe_16.html
This blog reports on a biography at http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/bookarts/2002/10/msg00223.html which is a 404 but includes in the blog He published a science fiction fanzine in the 40's and 50's called NEKROMANTIKON. The first issue's cover was a linoleum cut carved and printed by Banister. NEKROMANTIKON set a new standard for fanzines of the day.
