Attaboy Jack! I really enjoy that title. You will want to get more What have I done? Jack (blaming skypinkblu) Wow is fun too! And Giant Robots with MM!

Ewer's obituary was posted on the Platinium Age Comics discussion group the other day. Oakland Tribune, June 25 1915 Raymond C. Ewer, Cartoonist, Is Dead Following a brief illness in New York, Raymond C. Ewer, one of America’s famous cartoonists, and formerly a California boy, passed away in that city several days ago according to news received in Oakland today. His father, a St. Helena vineyardist, has gone east and the remains will probably be brought back to California for burial. Raymond C. Ewer’s rise to fame was spectacular. He began his career five years ago on the Oakland Tribune as a cartoonist, and later left for the east. There he first drew illustrations for the Munsey publications, and soon attracted the attention of the big comic magazines. He then drew for Judge and Puck, and at the time of his death was exclusively retained by the latter publication. His sketches of city life were considered among the best works of American cartoonists. Ewer is survived by his parents in St. Helena, a wife and a daughter. He was 27 years of age. Thanks for the info. I didn't know he died that young. I do recall seeing somewhere that the brief illness was tuberculosis. I wonder if the TB was from unpasteurized milk? TB usually has a longer incubation time I thought. Must check medical micro text. I knew I kept it for something. bb

This is a Fun Book but I have given up on finding one that doesn't have the puzzles filled in.

Those aren't my copies but I used to have two copies of that Cinderella Love. I hope that isn't a restored copy of the one I sold for $15. bb

You can't trust the gnomes... I like those Mary Marvel covers. Fun stuff and happy people.

There were 18 issues of Avon Fantasy Reader according to Wikipedia. I only have a few.

My understanding of weird alien thing crotch anatomy is poor enough that I wasn't sure whether it was part of the alien or the dragon. Whichever way, it doesn't look very polite. Jack certainly not part of MY fantasy This one is a little easier for a scientist to relate too. No alien anatomy either.

Why stop with 6? Issue 7

Love the Halloween cover. Better than some of the comics.

These all belong to someone else but there were three photos of the convention. This one is of Dan Zimmer publisher of Illustration Magazine. Visit Bollesbiggestfan1's blog (the guy who provided the pictures) at http://enochbolles.blogspot.com/

I think I paid much less than $600 for my beat up old copy. Which makes sense I guess.

I picked up some Shadow reprints at the book store and they were really nice. Published by Nostalgia Ventures, Inc.

And this photo of David Saunders, while signing copies of his book about his Dad, Norm, was posted to by BollesBiggestfan. I have to get that book.

Someone posted this photo of the pulp con and I borrowed the photo. Did anyone else attend? I thought I would post it here since a lot of pulp collectors and comic collectors check out BZ's thread.

That is an amazing cover! I liked this one too.

I think that is a very impressive series. I wonder how rare they are or are there a lot of pulp collectors that kept these.

I bid on a lot of Beware TT comics but was outbid. Then I noticed this cover on GA.UK. I wish I had bid more.

I love those early Planet cover with riveted logo. Too bad this spider cover was chewed up but what was left was pretty good. bb

I found the red eyed doggy too difficult to resist.

Charles Miller in Lancaster showed me a box of Weird Tales that he had for sale last month. You might give him a call to see if he has anything you don't have. Ernest Toth had a pretty good collection of pulps but I don't know what happened to his stuff. Roy Thomas probably has most of those pulps and more but I doubt if he is selling. Bang Zoom has some really nice copies but last I heard he wasn't selling anything ever. bb

These are from Heritage I think. I did a little photoshop to clean them up.

This is a later Schomburg cover but it shows his air brushing technique and his sarcastic sense of humor.

The dials on the device even display the same measurements. I guess the procedure to put a head on a translucent woman and a mummy are the same. The mummy body was just the next in line! Once they moved it out of the way, they could distill their skull for snack time. Jack OSHA wouldn't approve of lunch in the lab. bb

Looks like Blackstone. He was kind of an artist. Or Barks but 20 years later.

BZ, That cover looked familiar! Oh yeah, I think someone was inspired by another pulp cover. bb
