I think there was really no aftermarket for pulps for a long time, either. It's really the SF pulps that were heavily collected, and Amazing Stories didn't appear until 1926.

And a book that reprints Fox stories with a new cover that hasn't hit the thread yet:

I think I should look into letting the handful I've got go... these two, a couple All Tops, and a couple Fox Giants. I mostly grabbed them to scan for the Digital Comic Museum originally:

What on earth are they including in the FCBD issue that would require a T/ 13+ rating?

I only recently found out about them myself. I knew about Spacemen and Monster World but not this one.

So, I only recently found out that Harvey Kurtzman edited (or co-edited) the first two issues of this series, before he started working on Help! for Warren. I won a lot with 4 of the first 5 issues, then grabbed a cheap #6 because why not at this point? All I need now is #4 (which has another great Jack Davis cover, and I just grabbed a copy off the bay that should be here soon.

I need to replace my #7... it's missing some pages from the middle. But since I've got the scan available, let's throw it in as well. I also need 2 and 9, I really better grab all three before the run becomes impossible.

Don’t forget the Simon & Kirby interior illustrations as well!

Avon Fantasy Reader has a lot of good reprints and even a then newly discovered Howard story in 18

I’m pretty sure the Star Trek books, at least, had multiple printings. Even disregarding the black bar over the price, #3 comes both with and without “Enterprise Logs” on the cover.

Williamson's fellow Fleagle Wally Wood came close. Not my scan:

I think there were 5 total, two of them being entirely Bradbury stories. Tales of the Incredible is the only one I have, I need to look for the rest.

I got in when it was temporarily in the sub-basement for maintenance while they installed the rockets.

I just posted the ones I have. I had one of the UFO books as a kid and read it to pieces, I've tried a couple times to track it back down but it doesn't show up often. I believe the Questar book reprints most of the stories from the Starstream issues I showed above. I wonder why the name change?

That's hilarious. Vampirella #1, possibly one of the facsimile editions. Probably, even.

I have a fondness for them...

And, in case anybody objects to the above two as off topic, a few definitely Whitman books. Al Williamson was amazing:

One more. This one has over 90 pages of Matt Baker art!

Here are some Whitman-adjacent books I think people here will enjoy seeing, at least:

August 1928.

My personal acquired grail. To this day I can't quite believe I actually own a copy. I've been known to suggest this is more the Amazing Fantasy #15 of pulps rather than the Action #1... it's quite a bit more common compared to most of the major pulps, but still super high demand.

I bought it only about 3 years after it came out, I'm 90% sure it went directly from the shelf to the back issue bins at the store. It was not being sold as a double cover, I only discovered it after I got it home... I think I paid around $3 for it. I have no reason to doubt it's legit, although I get why anybody else would have reason to be skeptical. I'll freely admit it's a weird one.

Local store got in a couple magazine boxes of Marvel Mags. Most of which I already have... but managed to find a few I needed.

The classic "Kick Stan in the head" cover. I keep wondering if we're supposed to identify the guy in green and the one getting the tooth punched out, given that the other two are clearly Stan Lee and Roy Thomas.

In today, my local store doesn't get shelf copies of the title and I missed the solicits:
