A super rare pulp with an REH story!

Nice!

That would be great. Usually I get giftcards for amazon or the like. I would love to get a CGC giftcard.

No, I didn't. I was about to when the wife wondered what the heck I was doing This I posted in the General Forum. My Top 16 acquisitions from 2010 - Outstanding, Scrooge!!!

Just upgraded my JDFM #3 with the Darrell Richardson copy.

Once again your prognostications are eerily prescient! Y'all have been kicking our butts for so long now, so we were overdue for a win. Bowden should have retired years before he did (and taken his dumbazz son with him). We had a lot of talented kids being poorly coached for quite a while there. I'm very much looking foward to the Jimbo Fisher era.

Whoa, didn't mean to make the pic so big. Don't know how to edit photos on my phone. Edit: Okay, I fixed it. That's better.

my wife and kids are there...I should have gone with crowzilla but I am on science fair duty with my 12 year old... Good guys 7...bad guys more than 7 Forget the game. Look what you missed outside the stadium. Free samples!

On my way to the game now. GO NOLES! May the least suckiest team win.

Dear Gator, What's your prediction for the game today and are you going?

We dont mind! Keep posting! No doubt. Keep 'em coming!

Wow! That Church #8 is unbelievable! Any other Senorita Rio covers? At least I always assumed that's her on the 48, despite the hair color.

Conan's first appearance was in the Weird Tales from December 1932... it can run from Good=~200.00 VF=1000.00+ Conan's first appearance in comics was in the Mexican comic Cuentos de Abuelitos, sometime in 1952 (not sure which issue, as it was an anthology title, and info is spotty at best on it.) Good luck finding a GD for under $500 these days. That seems to be the entry for a decent complete copy. VG-FNs are going for 1K now. This book has really gone up in the last couple years. Forrest, here is the 12/32 issue with the first Conan story, "The Phoenix on the Sword" including the first illustration of Conan. (thumbs u

Chespirito, I've been researching these Mexican Conan comics for some time, trying to piece together the publication history. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. This is earliest issue that I've been able confirm from 1952. It isn't mine but belongs to an REH collector I know:

Careful... that's become a dangerous symbol today... NFS, anyway, but nice try Ah, but I believe an posted in a thread is all-powerful and trumps the fact that it isn't for sale.

I wish it worked that way. Actually, it was going after a series of other REH grails that depleted my funds. These babies are much scarcer than even Always Comes Evening. For those REH fans that haven't seen me posting these in the GA forum over the last few weeks, these are rare boxing pulps that all have Sailor Steve Costigan stories by Howard. If you haven't read any of them, I highly recommend them. (thumbs u

I still need Always Comes Evening, which is the first collection of REH's poetry and the scarcest of the three (562 copies). THere was a decent one in this same HA auction which I almost went after, but chickened out in the end as I'm pretty broke at the moment. In Bang Zoom's thread he posted a group shot of his Arkham House collection and it's unreal!

Congrats Bill! That is a very nice copy. Forrest, this is one of three REH books published by Arkham House. The other two are Skull-Face and Others and Always Comes Evening. All three are very collectible and desirable. Arkham House was publishing company started by August Derleth in the 1940's to keep HP Lovecraft's work in print. It quickly expanded to to start publishing works by other Weird Tales writers from the "Lovecraft Circle."

Good gawd, man! You have an amazing collection!

Suuuwheeet!!!

Great to see Dunsany getting the love he deserves. pcalhoun, I've been enjoying your posts both here and in the pulp thread. You have a great collection - keep 'em coming! The Avon Fantasy Readers are really underappreciated. I have a couple of the REH issues, but someday I'd like to put the whole run together. A lot of great reading and still pretty inexpensive.

Wow!
