Since everyone is showing their Howards, my two latest REH acquisitions:

The mind boggles.

Why own so many different copies of the same issue(s)?

Beautfiful stuff (as usual)!

 

Picked this up today from a friend - it's so hard to find these old pulps with decent paper, thus this is my oldest WT at the moment (I don't own any issues from the 1920's, but sure would like to).

 

 

Beautiful. I was watching it, but I have been spending too much lately. Glad it found a good home!

That Spider is stunning! Congrats on yet another string of stellar acquisitions, Todd!

These are gorgeous Matthew! I would love to see them with a bigger size. Is that possible?

Impressive sets!

There are days when you are a REH collector, and then, there are days...

Wow, talk about a nice Oriental Stories / Magic Carpet run in one fell swoop! Color me jealous! Stunners, all of them!

Ditto the Fight Stories. These are tough as hell, and even more so in high grade.

Meager pickings this month, but that was intentional. February will be a month to remember for me, he he..

In the meantime...

Not sure if this Dave Stevens Amazing Heroes Rocketeer cover was ever reprinted. I like the homage to Kaluta's Shadow hardcover book cover with the shrunken characters in the hero's hand <3 on the lower left hand corner.

 

 

Amazing Heroes #145 (July 1988) is actually the reused cover of Comico Attractions #6 (April 1987)

 

Which is actually a reprint of the cover used for the French edition, out in May 1985.

My latest acquisitions...

And a low grade but what-the-heck-it's-so-rare copy of Fight Stories, July 1929, first Steve Costigan by REH. Cover and back cover have *that* problem, but the rest of the pulp is sound (and it looks rather good in its Mylar). As I already have a Fine copy in my collection, this one is up for grabs, by the way (trade against high to ultra high grade REH pulp).

Updated the scans of my Weird Tales above. Another Advetnure as a bonus.

A few acquisitions and upgrades...Sorry abt the crappy pics, the scanner isn't working and these shots were taken with my phone, so some are a bity blurry and are quite less vibrant and stunning than they actually are.

EDIT: now from the scanner!

I love this new book, it's so pretty...and so thick. I've never owned an All-Story from this era before (1914), and I didn't realize how many pages they had.

 

First installment of "The Beasts of Tarzan", the third Tarzan story.

 

Superb! You gotta love this cover!

One I forgot:

Two recent acquisitions.

One with a shining bra, the other with a shining... ah, er...,necklace.

Now this is what I call a Holy Grail! Congrats!

Beautiful copy!

The spicies are quite tough, especially in high grade. I think that the combination of distribution problems (especially in the Bible belt), their risqué contents (ie you would hide or tug the mag somewhere so no one can see it), plus their trashy-so-not-to-be-collected status explains that.

I am still looking for my high grade REHs, in case anyone has them. The only one I have is that one:

Now, this is illegal. No other person than myself should be allowed to own such beauties!

Unglaublich!

But why would anyone need TWO copies of such a beauty?

Bravo! Wonderful catch!

Sweet! Congrats!
