I've shown numerous cases where Ned Pines, at Popular Library, re-used pulp magazine cover art on his paperback books.

Well, Joseph Meyers, at Avon Books, did the same with his comic book covers. I'll present some of those here.

There were a few duplicated covers on mystery comic books, but for the most part, they appeared on Avon's romance offerings.

You will note different Avon labels. Diversey. Broadway and Murder Mystery Monthly were all digest-size books. Novel Library was another of Avon's mass market sized labels.

For all of these, the cover artist is uncredited.
