And, having gotten my own copy (not as nice as yours) I see that it's a weird middle size, bigger than a typical digest but smaller than a typical pulp.

They did it from at least 1952-1955 judging by the few examples I own. And, yes, they are weird sized. Right in the middle of a pulp and a digest.

Surfing Alien Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Sojarr of Titan by Manly Wade Wellman Prize Science Fiction No. 11 1949. Cover art by Herman Vestal. I always considered this a classic Sci Fi cover image Vestal did the cover for the September 1952 Planet Stories but otherwise looks like he did mostly interiors in the pulps.
