George Evans (February 5, 1920- June 22, 2001) was an American cartoonist and comic book artist.

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 studied art from a correspondence course and made his first sales, both illustrations and writing, to pulp magazines. After service in the Air Force, he began working for comic books, selling to Fawcett, Fiction House and EC Comics. After EC, he drew for Gilberton's Classics Illustrated, Dell and Gold Key. Evans illustrated the Classics Illustrated comic The Oregon Trail in 1950. He also did "Space Conquerors" for Boy's Life.

During the late 1960s, he was an assistant to and ghost artist for George Wunder on the comic strip Terry and the Pirates. In 1980 he took over Secret Agent Corrigan from Al Williamson. When he retired in 1996 the strip ended.
