Surfing Alien

It's ingenious how those gold silk space bra's filter the Martian air

I'm really digging the aviation pulps. Not something I thought I would but they are even more amazing when you get them in hand!

Cross posting this here in case any Peanuts fans want this knowledge. I picked up an upgrade of the 1st edition, 1st printing of Snoopy. I snapped the copyright page for reference for anyone who might want to know what differentiates it from the dozens of printings it went through. It's gotta have the Rinehart "R". I have a little write up from various sources that removes some of the confusion surrounding the True First editions of the Peanuts books. I may post it or send it if anyone wants to put this tough run together. They kind of fall in the no man's land between comics and paperbacks so haven't been covered in the usual places.

Beautiful! The Berkley series has grown on me. I never had many of them when I first collected pb's but i've picked up quite a few for my current collection. I'll try to dig out a few later.

Yeah, you just have to scroll through them a lot when you see them. I have picked up a few others besides those two sports covers I posted. This is certainly the only Argosy I have seen with a bare breasted woman on the cover! Combined with a giant octopus and the cover 1st appearance of a major Fantasy author's most famous work, it's a triple play

Thanks. Yeah, i got some things from him off eBay and have corresponded a bit with him by email. I really should get an autograph on something but I'm trying not to be too much of a fanboy. It's hard when you've admired someone's work since you were a teenager like I was when I bought Howard the Duck #1 and Dr. Strange books off the newsstand!

One of the first comic books I bought off the newstand was a Frank Brunner Dr. Strange so i'm honored to have acquired Franks personal copy of Argosy with Abraham Merritts Dwellers in the Mirage. From what I understand it's a hard copy to find in nice shape...

Another very stylistic Robert Maguire Bondage cover. There's quite a few cover gems in the Monarch series. The William Ard PBO's are cool as well. Started reading one and they move pretty quick if you know what I mean. I find the '60's fine drawn covers very appealing. Babe in the Woods is Harry Schaare. Make Mine Mavis is Lou Marchetti. And So to Bed is Marchetti also. Since she's a Jazz Club Girl I'm assigning this one to my JD collection

I think my brain just exploded! Killer books & great history right there

I love MMM's. Here's a couple of classics...

I'm reading Poul Anderson's Captive of the Centaurianess in the March '52 Planet right now. It's funny and definitely a breezier, more compelling read than some of the others.

Plus they're relatively affordable so you can get the satisfaction of putting a run together.

Psyched that i'm closing in on the whole Anderson Space Babe run... Love this style...

Let's just say you and Pat have exceedingly good taste. And love that hell of a row of spines there!

Thats what I thought. I definitely had the original Bantam paperback. I may still have it but i'd have to dig to find out.

Couple more Monarch pickups, Maguire bondage babe menaced with a blackjack on All I Can Get and a classic 60's DeSoto Barbie babe who is Most Likely to Love. Not quite in top condition but were cheap enough not to be too choosy.

Not sure I get it but i'll take a guess - because the cover has zero to do with the story?

There's a copy on ebay for $650 for what that's worth... https://www.ebay.com/itm/174067746920 It's certainly rare and much rarer than it seems. It went through at least 31 printings so you see what look to be copies fairly often but they are not this first print with the hand stamped price and the Rinehart colophon on the copyright page. Also sellers mislabel the second printing as the first because it has no printing listing on the copyright page but the second print does not have the Rinehart colophon and it has a machine printed price on the cover.

That copy of Werewolf looks minty fresh!

I don't post a lot about comics but they're on my 1st love list I have a couple of copies of this Journey Into Mystery number one which I love for the Robert E. Howard story and Gil Kane art

Jackpot! Awesome for you brother! Man that is a great find...

I never collected Shadow but recent focus on Pulps made this amazing Rozen babe cover stand out... One of the cooler covers in the run... Actually not much good girl art in the run so love this...

Cool. This was in the mail today as well... Not quite sure what to make of all these weird pharaoh head dudes... But I think it's safe to call this a bondage cover...

Cool, I didn't know that. That might be one of the reasons why there are fewer copies of these two than almost all of the others for sale. I'm not selling the girl in the tube short, I love her lol, she's a Million years old but an x-ray of her shins I think shows that she's OK 🤪🤪🤪
