No, I have those and they are not Del Ray.
Futura for Shannara and Fontana for Covenant.
I've maybe 3000 paper books. Plenty are Fantasy. I can't see any Del Ray.
I did have some books maybe US import, the Dragonlance and related stuff. Picked it up at a chartity shop about 30c each and I gave them away after reading only one. Some of those seem like a bad clone of Tolkien, even down to supposedly humorous thieving Halflings that aren't called hobbits.
