That's a cool Ace logo on the second mag "Every One An Ace - an MP Magazine." The MP is for Magazine Publishers.  I'm not sure that logo ran very long or on what magazines, as this is the first time I've seen it.  Looks like Headquarters Detective ran for six issues and continued numbering from Sky Birds.  No relation to the Headquarters Detective true crime mag that Macfadden published starting in 1940/

Fauntleroy Fox is my second favourite redheaded funny animal character:

A unique cover amongst the girlie pulps

CL 25 my guess is north of 40K , I have been offerred $25k for my 5.5
 

That one's a curiosity, dicky.  It's a great painting, but there's some things that are really odd about it. One thing that stands out immediately is the weird red shadow or blanket under the girl with the flowers that just pop up on top of it. 
There's a couple at the very end of the Breezy run that were possibly created from leftover prints and materials on hand when the building that C.H. Young (the original publisher of Breezy and before that Young's Magazine who died back in 1930) had bought was being sold in 1949 for a real estate cash-in by Phil Painter who had run the company since Young's death (and ably kept Breezy afloat by converting it to a magazine sold in grocery stores with a reduced price point and more modern printing methods).  From some point in like '38 on all the Breezy covers are reprints (and most of the fiction as well), some paintings being used 2 or 3 times (you can tell by all the white boxes on the covers). 
On this one if you get up real close, you can see some funky production details - it's not a cohesive painting, there's some exacto work involved:


I don't own this issue, but the contents page calls it "a new Bolles girl" and gives a sort of shout out to Bolles, the first time I think this had happened in a Breezy, very strange.  Notably the magazine folded very shortly thereafter, too.

The reason for Bolles departure from Breezy was his institutionalization at Greystone Psychiatric Hospital in New Jersey.  He did do some work from there (new Film Funs appeared into the early 40s) but the magazines were likely using any stock of paintings they had on hand as well, and there's likelihood that the art editor at Breezy could have played a part in placing the flowers around the figure.  It is possible that Painter had some sort of ongoing relationship with Enoch during his institutionalization (which lasted all the way to 1969) and that this was indeed a new Bolles girl (even if the painting had been altered for the magazine cover).
The other odd painting from earlier that year is this one which I think is the only other Breezy after 38 that isn't a reprint:

Another Colliers interior painting I liked:
 

I'm most preferential to his pen and ink stuff, but he was pretty well versed.  The guy was around for so long and in so many different publications - I've never really sat down and tried to learn about the scope of his career or map out his art (maybe cuz I'm so pulp-centric).
I'm crazy about this one:
Here's some of that pen and ink I'm talking about

One from SA's recent sale, I'm pegging this as Chriacka but could easily be wrong (maybe a stylized D for Darcy worked into the left edge of the cover?):
Wild Fruit - Joan Sherman (Peggy Gaddis) (1960.Beacon B367) cover suspected Chiriacka


and another discovered in this book of postcards put together by Miriam Linna that I've had forever:

My daughter is working at a Christian summer camp this Summer and isn't allowed her phone and has requested written correspondence.  My wife doesn't think she'd appreciate these postcards, but I may send them if only for my own amusement
I pondered tracking down a high grade copy of this but instead opted for this beater copy.  It seems perfectly appropriate -

The Young Punks edited by Leo Marguiles (1957.Pyramid G271) cover Rudy de Reyna. 
Not the most menacing gang I've ever seen
The only other pb cover I found from de Rayna is the Pyramid G352 edition of Harlan Ellison's Rumble.  Otherwise, I found a good number of art manuals he's written.
Great line-up of authors inside including Richard Prather, Hal Ellson, Gil Brewer, Evan Hunter, Johnathan Craig, Frank Kane, Robert Turner, etc.

Here's a couple nice Detective Pulp Covers.  I was looking through a box and found them, just thought I would share.....

The last issue of Breezy Stories - December 1949, wonderful Enoch Bolles cover.  Would this be the last cover Enoch Bolles did?

Nice, but why isn't it on the couch?

Included in a large lot of Colliers (same size)...  nice.

Not my copy, but an image I worked with today, woof
