Basically, Donald Wollheim wanting to revive, in a fashion, the Farnsworth Wright WEIRD TALES because he didn't much care for Dorothy McIlwraith's modernizing the magazine. I prefer the McIlwraith magazine, but AVON FANTASY definitely has charm. And, indeed, impressive covers. Better than WT often did in the earlier years, to be sure.
Wow, great looking copies!
ReplyDeleteWish they were mine!
ReplyDeleteI've got a couple of the paperbacks collected from this. Always good stuff.
ReplyDeleteCovers are fantastic!
