Artist Profile: The Brandon House Covers of Fred Fixler


Brandon House (not to be confused with Random House) published pulp paperbacks from 1937 to 2007, with its most popular work coming out in the late 1960s.  Though he is best remembered for the advertising work that he did for companies like Coca-Cola and Continental Airlines, illustrator Fred Fixler was also responsible for some of the best remembered paperback covers to come out of Brandon House.  Though Fixler (who died in 2010) declined most offers to be interviewed about his time at Brandon House, it seems that most of his covers were done between 1964 and 1966.

A small sampling can be found below and if you want to learn more about Fred Fixler and his non-pulp work, check out this page that was created by some of his former students.

If some of the covers below seem racy, you should see the ones that I didn’t share!
