Pulp Magazine/Vintage Paperback cover swipes
Surfing Alien replied to Surfing Alien's topic in Pulp Magazines
Killer! I knew i'd seen this classic swipe but couldn't locate which pulp. Looking at the online archives, there's quite a few G-Men Belarski covers re-used on Popular Library's -
Nice book. Globe end papers mean 1st printing every time, off the top of my head I'm not sure at which "no number" they ended the globe endpapers. The no numbers go up to number 40 I think and I'm pretty sure the later ones did not have globe end papers. For those you can only tell 1st print by being roughly near the number of the book in hand. They released a couple at a time so it will only be the exact number for certain ones.

Here's the only half decent uncreased scan i've seen available on the whole interwebs (possibly my old copy ) It's Canadian actually - Studio Pocket #4 from 1952. It originally was published in Hardcover as "Heed the Thunder" in 1946 and It's not even the 1st paperback edition - that would be the (also Canadian) Newstand Library edition of "Heed the Thunder" from 1949. Both the hardcover and the Newstand Library edition show up in nice shape far more often than the Studio Pocket edition.

Postman rang twice for me today. A killer upgrade of an early Ace Keene original with a Harry Barton cover Victor Olson painted the "maybe even better" flip side cover This one has everything - a tough Lionel White movie tie-in Signet with a wild Maguire bondage cover that is unfaded and pretty sharp.

Sweet bunch of books Damonwad! I have some of the Thompson Lions but not that one. They're tough to put together these days with what they go for in nice shape. A big regret was selling a very nice copy of Killer Inside Me and a pristine copy of Sins of the Fathers, which is probably the rarest of all Thompson books, even though it's not a 1st Ed. I'll likely never get them in that condition again unless a fortuitous circumstance comes around because I just have a mental block paying many hundreds of dollars for books that used to go for $50 - $100 I know... I need to get over the past (and my inner cheapskate ) I've posted my copy of Farm Girl, she's a honey

What's the story of the sketch, if you know? It's pretty cool!

I have the Dunwich Horror but not the Weird Shadow. I like the Dunwich Horror cover much more so went after it early... The two Bart Houses and this Avon are the only 3 with pictorial covers. The 4th early Lovecraft is the Armed Services Edition, which brings big dollars but I love covers. It does not do anything for me.

Another one rolled in from the backlog. I think this Avon is even harder to find uncreased than the Pop Lib "Overboard". I've pretty much given up on finding one so grabbed this respectable one at a reasonable price. It's my favorite early Lovecraft PB, (and a swipe from Finlays July 1939 Weird Tales cover). Here's the Weird Tales (not my copy)
