Simply great books!!!! Love the Master!!

 

Just in. Notice the difference in the two covers. No wonder the cover seems bare.

Great looking copy! Never noticed the diff in the ad vs cover before?

Really pretty books, are they from the same collection?

Not an uncommon issue, but one of my all time favorite pulp covers. Dec. 1946

 

FINLAY

Keep 'em coming everyone, I am still learning too!

 

Well, here's the thing guys. When I started looking at pulps, I too made the mistake ( ) to look at covers as the main attraction of the hobby ... then I met real pulpsters and got the "Oh, so you're a cover collector" snub. Having been on the PulpMags group for several years now, I've learned that pulp collecting is all about the stories inside. All this to say that there isn't a "list" of classic covers as we have in comics. Plus there are too many cool pulp covers out there

Yep, I collect Edgar Rice Burroughs stories mainly in Pulps. Just in case you don't know in cases like ERB or Robert Howard their stories were published in Pulps first, then collected later in Hardcover books so the pulps are in fact the "first" printing of their stories.

Most stories of ERB in pulps don't even have his story as the cover art. In fact most are pretty boring covers compared to Weird Tales and others.

Got this awesome cool book in the mail today!

 

 

My gosh, that's a beautiful copy of a less common issue. SWEET!

Thanks! It presents very well.

socratic wonder asked for this one to be shot outside the group i posted.

 

That's a neat looking book! Never seen it before.

Got this awesome cool book in the mail today!

 

But,.......but.......but........but........that's supposed to be my copy! Isn't that Ciorac's book??!??

 

 

 

Used to be Ciorac's but went in a trade a while back

 

My fault for not getting it when I could. If you EVER decide to let it go, let me know!!

My first and only GA pick up in Chicago - thanks to Richard (Bedrock):

 

 

 

I have been looking for one for a long time and very happy with this one indeed.

But,.......but.......but........but........that's supposed to be my copy! Isn't that Ciorac's book??!??

I don't usually "pollute" the cigar thread with my non-sequential art pulps, but this one's worth it. First appearance of Conan in the story "The Phoenix on the Sword."

 

 

Way to go Jeff!! Great copy!

I've not posted in this thread before, but here is a recent four color I picked up!

Here's a groupshout with bedsheets in the back and regular size pulps in the front for scale.

 

 

Showoff! (thumbs u

I love it. (thumbs u What's the date on that?

Not at home, but I think it is 1938, not sure of the month. If I remember correctly this is the first Donald Duck Comic.??

Never posted in this thread. Have had this book a long time but just scanned it last night. Enjoy.

Picked this up fairly recently, I'm more a superhero kind of guy but you can't go wrong with this western.

Here is a pulp I picked recently, the 2nd app. of Buck Rogers and the 1st Cover app.

well, I'm more worried about the fact that they are inclined to get some badass spine issues with time, but heck... who knows! I might have myselfe a random 3.0 toilet paper quality Norwegian edition of a modern marvel transformed into a neatly pressed 9.8 if I leave it like that for 20 years. Or not

 

Thanks for the nice comments on the setup btw. I'm often looking at some of the rooms in this thread whenever I wanna find inspiration to build more on my own. Some great ideas to be found. Right now I'm looking to get a proper CGC holding unit, and I think I decided on some handy display stuff they use at public liberaries. Now its just to track a supplier of nonstandard furniture like this

Try Brodart, they make library furniture plus sell a few library supplies.

I would love to make it to one of the pulp cons some day. I've done very well on ebay, but as always it's a crapshoot. I much prefer to buy from other collectors and I've gotten some great books from fellow boardies.

 

Heritage sometimes has good pulps in their signature auctions, but buying raw (as all pulps are) from them has become as hit-or-miss as ebay. Check out http://thepulp.net/ for loads of info including lists of dealers.

 

Mike, what are you thinking about collecting? just curious.

 

 

Last year I bought and read the three volumes of recent Conan reprints in softcover. I then bought the Kull and Bran reprints which I also liked. This got me thinking about buying some of the originals and I started looking into Weird Tales of which I have now purchased 5 issues. I also noticed that Lovecraft, another author I enjoy, wrote for Weird Tales. At the same time I have become aware that ERB wrote for the pulps, but I haven't looked into any of his material.

 

I've also noticed a lot of really great covers in this thread which might be of interest. I have purchased a number of Fiction House 40s comics over the years based on the covers.

 

As you can see, I am pretty new at this, but for the moment will probably focus on Weird Tales, some other adventure stuff like ERB and now and then a cover I really like. Who knows where it will all lead, but as many people in this thread have mentioned, comics are starting to become really expensive for GA and anything newer isn't really a challenge to find.

 

Mike

 

Sounds you're looking to collect exaclty the same stuff I'm interested in. Wait until I'm done!

! I have to say the same thing, hold off!

I haven't added anything lately (need to change that) to my thread, but check it out for some ERB pulps and related items!
