Home is the Sailor - Day Keene (1952.Gold Medal 225) cover PBO Barye Phillips?

Hello, sailor...And Swede's troubles began

I managed to sneak a few digests into a recent order of beater paperbacks. I couldn't resist this one at $5 The Humorama digests really are charming. The pin-ups are great (this one has a 6 page Bettie spread inside), there's cartoons by the likes of Bill Ward, Dan DeCarlo, Bill Wenzel, Jefferson Machamer, and I've even grown to admire the single toned cover designs. And can one ever get enough boob jokes?

A few redheads in a new batch or rough paperbacks I unboxed tonight. Don't mess with a redhead, FAFO!

Another Beacon and a not so gorgeous copy, but downtrodden girls need love, too This is one from the nice trove that came in from the seller Black Cactus pointed out. None of the books were in good shape, but they were dirt cheap with a couple very nice paperback originals from big writers in there. I've been trying to find the right copy of Orrie Hitt's Door to Door since Douglas recommended it to me, but I haven't quite found the right one. This one will have to do nicely as an intro to Mr. Hitt. I like the Warren King cover, too. The Sucker - Orrie Hitt (1960 edition.Beacon 370) cover Warren King PBO That's right - you know me - no space ships, horrors, barbarians or other wonder, it's' ONE DAMN GIRL AFTER ANOTHER

So many girls in my book, it weighs a ton... I've got a Beacon or two on the glass tonight, too. For the peeping toms. Gorgeous copy: Adulteress - Lon Williams (1959.Beacon 214) cover Ernest Darcy Chiriacka PBO

No peeping toms around here

I love the machine gun cover. I know it was used at least once more, but I'm not sure where off the top of my head.

Unboxing, cleaning, and scanning a bunch of new ones tonight, and I ran into this for the first time. There's no worries or anything, as it is a 4 dollar beater, but what's with thus black glue? Original? Black? o.O I am a stranger in a strange land -

Went in to FCBD for the first time in, well, forever. Picked through a sh*tload of boxes hoping to find a bit of gold or even silver, but I didn't find much. Just to be polite, I did take a few undergrounds off the owner's hands. I thought this was Bill Clinton, but it's too early! This was a very appropriate cover as I mentally made fun of the full store of geeks out for their free comics

Attic in the NW doesn't sound so bad. An attic in my neck of the woods however

I'm noticing a ton of green outfits to counterbalance the red hair, the Irish flag is appropriate

8.5, wow! Looks great to me, being a Yakima probably doesn't hurt in getting a nice grade ;) Gloria Stoll Karn is interesting as a woman painter in a field dominated by men (not to mention she's got some excellent covers with many underappreciated ones in the love pulps). I think (?) the family site that was up has migrated most of the bio info here: https://www.illustrationhistory.org/artists/gloria-stoll-karn and her pulp wiki (nice gallery of her more famous covers here) http://www.pulpartists.com/Stoll.html

Pulps vary so much in thickness from like 68 pages up to who knows how thick Amazing Stories and double and triple rebinds etc. Tricky!

CLOSED! Thanks to the buyers and lookers, I'll get invoices out this weekend. Distractions and duties multiply as always, but I hope to do another sales thread in this pulps section for some variety of pulps very soon (prolly SF/Fantasy). P.S. If transactions go well, and you are so inclined, I'd appreciate feedback on the Kudos I set up here. Seeing as how I'm new to the boards in this last year and am making first sales and buys on the boards, a good word would probably help reassure those who don't know me. Even if I'm all over this place these days

Most excellent, Doc. The Bernard Baily Shop doesn't seem to be well known, but a recent APA article from David Saunders says Baily's shop included pulpsters John Giunta and Sam Cooper as well as comics artists like Frank Frazetta and Nina Albright. I really like his Stories from the Opera, not exactly your usual comics fare - a couple of scans which have popped up over the last year at the digital museums. hotlinked filenames to the scans, thanks to Michael Gilbert for this one - Illustrated Stories of the Operas - Carmen (1943.Baily Publishing Co.) (c2c) (MTGilbert) thanks to cap12xx for the scan Illustrated Stories of the Operas - Faust (1943.Baily Publishing Co.) (c2c) (cap12xx) As for his romance covers, I'm crazy for a couple of them including the one you've shown. How weird is that dude's leer, though?

Great stuff, Duck. I'd recently been talking about the Ace artists hoping to get an elusive ID on one of the painters with a lady friend who studies love pulps, and this subject of Kirkpatrick's orientation came up. Kirkpatrick did a lot of work on the interior illustrations in the love pulps. David Saunders alludes to the sexual orientation angle a little more obtusely than in the womenincomics entry in his wiki entry on Kirkpatrick here which has some extra information: https://www.pulpartists.com/Kirkpatrick.html She was *highly* regarded by her male peers in comics for her brushwork.

I'm in this camp here. I get that it's a number one (and Lowell is right that the stereotypical Marvel key chaser from comics *should* be on this), but it's not one in this series I like. It's not a series I collect, but I'll pick my top three (not my copies) Fave, arguably an all time pulp classic cover plus the OA since it's in my files Easily the best "girl in a tube" cover ever (and I'm not really a fan of girls in tubes like the rest of you sadistic b*stards ) There was a nice copy of this at auction at MCS recently that didn't go wild. I think it's awesome. Unusually "realistic" for and SF cover. J.W. Scott. And though I'm tempted to pick a Bok for the third, I'll go with this excellent nuke it from orbit "H-Bomb" cover, Saunders I think that comics angled collectors probably chase the earliest issues hardest for the logos and ads for the Timelys, but I would guess that plenty of people would want the full run of these from 38 to 52.

Here it is. Not as a high price as I recall nor as deep of reds: https://www.comicconnect.com/item/1035370?tzf=1 Your copy has the better color, that one the better structure.
