Oh! Stunning!

Delighted to plug some holes in my Planet run at last with some pretty copies! [One day I'm going to start a FH thread where only copies with great colors are allowed in, regardless of technical grade!]

Great stuff Billy! I'm always impressed when I visit this thread - but dont worry, I wont be following your example!

Well, you should know one when you see one, pep 34 boy!

I love these crazy Superior stories.Hard to find these in nice shape - later issues in particular! That's one of my favourites, along with the "peeping tom" skull cover!

That's a geek (thumbs u Always liked me some Valkyrie! (thumbs u Are those common notations for Okajimas?

Fabulous cover!

|Keep it coming Pat - thanks so much for posting! I am learning some fascinating stuff here! The trouble is, the more I learn, the more I want to buy this stuff - so it could end up being a very expensive lesson! Alanna, here is a bigger scan of the cover illustration. Argosy (February 11, 1928) Thanks BZ. I love the retro feel to Argosy sci fi/fantasy covers!

Stunning copy! This one helps me to imagine what the newsstands and drugstores must have looked like circa. 1930, with stacks of pristine pulps on display! Fabulous!

If Ryan doesnt need it I'll be your huckleberry!

Beautiful copies Richard! I especially like the colors on ths one! And the Whitman cover! Ne plus ultra!

A classy lady and a heck of an actress! That's a wonderful movie to have a poster from. (thumbs u She really smouldered in that movie! I also loved her performance in The Bitter Tea of General Yen! (Anderson cover, Alan?)

Hey. I'll take one of those 34's. Nice. one of my pep34's now resides with a fellow boardie, the other 2 are staying put for a while...just hate to part with them ...no wonder I cant find a copy - you have them all! Great picture!

Good Gawd!!!! They match up pretty well, dont they? I have the Rockford copy of #5 and yours simply blows it away. I just cant help thinking it has to be an unnamed pedigree....it's entirely possible.

Fabulous copy! I'm never going to find one of these so I will have to settle for the replica!

Beautiful copies Richard! I especially like the colors on ths one!

Just bought The Red Peri off of Ebay! (thumbs u Any more femmes you can "sell" me Pat?

Thanks for the additional scan. Tachyon Publications had this interesting bit of info about The Black Flame manuscript. When The Black Flame was first published in 1939, Stanley G. Weinbaum had already been dead for three years. By that time, over 18,000 words had been excised or edited from the original manuscript. The intact manuscript, held by Sam Moskowitz, was auctioned off to Forrest J. Ackerman at the First World Science Fiction Convention in 1939. It was subsequently stolen from his collection and never recovered. The publication of this edition was made possible by the discovery of a carbon copy of the manuscript in a trunk of Weinbaum's papers found in the basement of his grandson's house in Denver, Colorado. This is not the first time you and I have pursued parallel tracks of investigation at the same time! Fascinating info!

Look what I just found on Ebay! Issued in 1995 by Tachyon Publishing after a copy of the original manuscript was found in the basement of Weinbaum`s grandson the previous year! Including 18,000 additional words previously edited out by editors of the original edition (Published in 1939), this was a remarkable find
