Avon Publications, known primarily for its paperback books, briefly entered comic book publishing during the mid-20th century. Founded in 1941, Avon produced comic books in various genres including romance, horror, crime, and science fiction. Notable titles included "Eerie Comics" and "Out of the Night." Their horror comics gained popularity during the 1950s, but like many publishers, Avon faced challenges due to the Comics Code Authority and ceased comic book publication in the late 1950s. Despite this, Avon's contributions, especially in horror comics, are still appreciated by collectors for their historical significance.
