Hi all. New poster here. I'm having trouble justifying my answer for 53a (Operettist Henry, creator of 20 covers). I believe the answer is LEHAR but I can't see where "20 covers" fits in. Any ideas? Thanks.

Lear was the creator of the Owl and the Pussycat, is clue 20 about that? The H from Henry gets put inside.

Henry - H
in - Lear (Writer of 20 across)

Ah, of course, got it. Many thanks.
