  1. That one I've got, unlike any of the ones RedFury showed. Mostly agreed on the post-1938 covers, although they're still pretty good. There are at least a couple latter ones I really like, but they're not as iconic as the earlier run.
  2. Fair enough. I don't have Cry Plague yet, but I've got all 6 PKD D-series doubles, the Conan, and the Ellison. Not sure if there are any other D-series books that are particularly tricky to track down.
  3. Agreed on the Black God's Kiss cover; would love to eventually get a copy What Brundage covers do get the most attention, anyway? The Batwoman cover is pretty obviously the most famous; and Red Nails gets a lot of attention as well. Not really sure beyond that which ones really get the attention; with only 74 total covers it's not that hard to say "all of them".
  4. There are way more than 75 Ace SF doubles; I presume you're specifically talking about the D-series books? On another note, I can never remember if the 75 includes Cry Plague or not...
  5. Fresh in today. Not high grade, but it looks better in person... and I'm going for a reading copy set, anyway. One issue to go. Also in today: new scanner, no more making due with photos like the last six weeks.
  6. A rare Alfred- free cover. I think the next one was the Pac-Man one? That might actually be a fun small run to put together, the post-issue 30 covers without Alfred. Those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head, but I think there are a few more
  7. 1947 publication date... I think this qualifies as a pre-code horror comic, even if it’s not something you would normally think of in that category. A very fun pickup at my local half price books today, in any case:
  8. I somewhat understand why there weren't any Lovecraft covers on Weird Tales in the 1930's; Lovecraft stories are not noted for scenes that play to Brundage's style. I will never understand how anybody thought "The Ghost Table" provided a better cover image than "The Call of Cthulhu", though. And it baffles me that none of the reprint series, like Avon Fantasy Reader, ever used a Lovecraft story for a cover either. Here's a Hannes Bok illustration from the reprint of "The Outsider" in Famous Fantastic Mysteries, at least. We did get some amazing interior illustrations, at least.
  9. I think that's the hardest of the four Lovecraft Astoundings to find by a fair margin. It wasn't the last one I got, but only because I wasn't prioritizing getting the March issue until I tracked down this one. Hard to believe that Lovecraft only got four pulp covers during the entire pulp era; and even then one was for a story he ghost wrote for Houdini and the other was only on a Canadian edition a few years after his death. So really, only two under his own name during his lifetime. They're both absolute classics.
  10. I must admit to morbid curiosity because of the title. How would that even work?
  11. A Christmas gift to myself. Fairly minor as books with the classic Weird Tales triple go, but Brundage- REH- HPL is always a treat to get
  12. This one doesn't actually SAY Victory Garden, but I figure it's close enough to at least post and let people decide for themselves:
  13. And reposting some books from my earlier show everything I have run. Merry Christmas, everybody, or whatever holidays you may be celebrating:
  14. Very nice! I've got a couple of the Bugs Bunny All Pictures Comics BLB's, but not that Porky one.
  15. Al Hubbard is just an insanely underrated artist. Mary Jane and Sniffles is far and away my favorite feature in the LT/MM comic books (just the comics, not the cartoons.) His work on Scamp was also delightful. And his Peter Wheat work manages to follow Walt Kelly at his best and , while not as good, holds its own... which is amazing given just how great the Kelly run was.
  16. The only one I have; you posted a smaller image already. I recall several stories or fun pages inside comics, but I'm not aware of any other covers.
