We should put together a list of Fridge Magnet books one of these years, a lot of those round logo Avons would make the list.

I don't have that one would be why.  But it's going on the list for sure...

Raymond Johnson's cover run at Avon in the early 1950's was astonishing.

Belarski at Popular was the only comparable dynasty, and I love his run, but Johnson broke everything out of the confines of the cover space with huge figures in off-set layouts with bright colors and that smooth shading

When I first started paperback collecting, there was Belarski and Not-Belarski

Some would say Avati and not Avati back then hm 

But I always loved the slightly cartoonish renderings of the pulp influenced artists rather than the "gritty realists"
