Sol Cohen

Sol Cohen (December 16, 1910 – July 28, 1988) was an American publisher who worked mostly in the science fiction field.

Cohen started his long association with Avon Publications in 1947, working as an editor for their comics division from 1947–1956.

[2] Also during this period, Cohen became associated with Golden Age comics financier Harry Donenfeld;[2] in 1949 the two men helped found the publisher Youthful Magazines.

When Cohen's stock gains from that job enabled him to retire in the early 1960s, he decided to continue working in publishing, and joined Robert Guinn at Galaxy Science Fiction.

[3][4] Cohen's tenure as publisher of Amazing Stories and Fantastic was filled with conflicts with his editors, contributors, and the Science Fiction Writers of America.
