Adventure had some really cool covers. Oct to Dec 1933.

"Desert Blood" by "Sam Walser", aka REH

Action Stories, October 1931.

This contains "Blow the Chinks Down", A so-called Steve Costigan story, but which originally featured Mike Dorgan and Bill McGlory, and was turned into a Costigan by the editors without telling Howard. Original title was "The House of Peril". This copy used to belong to Darrell C. Richardson.

Here's a question. Was this title sold openly on the newstand or was it a title that had to be kept behind the counter? Some of the covers are pretty racy and border on what I would imagine was acceptable at the time.

 

 

It was over the counter, except in rural communities, where the covers would often be considered too lurid.

Oh, I just discovered this thread... (been gone a looong time from this board).

This one has one of Howard's best westerns, one of his best tales ever, even. Smashing Novels Magazine, December 1936. Published a few months after Howard's death. Howard had written two endings to the story. They published both.

Yeah, thanks. I was actually working on it.

Grades are usual pulp grades, not comics. I am picky when it comes to grades.

Minimum 3 pulps (because I live far away), but the good thing is that I ship free of charge, home-delivered and with a tracking number. But you need take 3 minimum for that to work. Otherwise, it's 12 Dollars postage per.

Paypal only.

No returns, but I answer every question you may have and send as many scans as you need!

Ultra nice Wonder Woman! Congrats.

Can't believe it's been nine years already. Here's my Dave Stevens sketch, done some 25 years ago at Angoulême in France.

Anyone want to weigh in on the validity of this eBay auction of supposedly original Dave Stevens art?

 

Several pages of the third issue of Rocketeer Adventure Magazine found their way into the market, probably sold by the various people who had helped Dave meet the deadline on that issue (Art Adams, Sandy Plunkett and others).

Not saying the auction is legit, or not, but yes, there are pages out there.

Dave had also sold a few pages of art over the years when he was in need of money. He told me he had sold the original cover to Comico Chistmast Special because he needed cash to pay his income tax.

And here's one edition of "The Tempter" that I am pretty sure nobody has ever seen: a clipping from Its very first appearance in The Cross Plains Review, 18 June 1937, one year after Howard's death.

Wonderful poem, and of course a classy Keegan(s) illo!

Sweet copies both!
