I'm working on an essay about all the great pulp heroes I missed reading about as a kid. The Avenger is on that list.
I didn't read any until the paperback reprints began in 1972, when I was a BIG kid. And found these disappointing. They were okay as pulp yarns, but I knew there was no way they were written by the guy who did Doc Savage. No style. No humor.
