Hillbillies gotta get some love too - Uni-Book 36 with a classic cover

I like when digests arrive in the mail - Cameo Book 318, Island Ecstasy with some sweet Good Girl cover art.

Can't go wrong with space babes in test tubes Nice copy too!

1st appearance of Andrew Jackson Libby

Digging some Crime books myself... some H.J. Ward bondage

The 1st issue of Private Detective Stories was one of the first pulps I ever had many years ago. I sold my copy because I didn't have proper storage conditions for it and it was browning badly. Saw a chance to get a copy again so I took it. Great Ward Hatchet Murderer cover...

Great that you can still experience the in-hand discoveries Here's something that was randomly in with some vintage 50's pb's I bought on the web recently. Since i've been reading some pulps lately, I may just read it but I hope it doesn't make me get the G-8 bug because it looks like there's some cool covers on the original pulps.

A couple more early 40's Weird Tales. I've been enjoying reading the March 1944 issue with the John Giunta cover this week. I haven't read much horror for many years and it's funny, it's still a pure escape from the workaday world when you delve into them. There's a great fun factor to lower grade books. The May 1943 is Brundage with a Bradbury story. The March 1943 looks like a treasure trove with Kuttner, Bloch and Bradbury. The cover is E. Franklin Wittmack who I learned had a fairly extensive Pulp cover career. The style kind of reminds me of the Giunta cover.

Cool. I had never heard of him but he worked on early DC's including New Fun #1 among other things... https://indianaillustrators.blogspot.com/2011/11/joseph-clemens-gretter-1904-1988.html "In 1935, a former cavalryman and pulp fiction writer named Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson put together a 36-page, black-and-white, tabloid-sized comic book called New Fun Comics, the first comic book made up of all original material and the second newsstand comic book ever published. New Fun Comics #1 (Feb. 1935) marked several other firsts as well, including the first original science fiction feature for a comic book, "Don Drake on the Planet Saro." The author was Ken Fitch, the artist, Clemens Gretter. "Don Drake," probably inspired by Flash Gordon and Brick Bradford, ran in seventeen issues of New Fun and its successor, More Fun Comics, and even made the cover spot in April 1935. Gretter worked in comic books for many more years. His last known credited work showed up in Fatman, The Human Flying Saucer in 1967."

Couple of later Lovecraft Weird tales appearances that just came in - not my usual conditions but they were basically thrown into a deal I made so i'll take 'em for now Love the Bok cover, the other is by "Gretta", his only Weird Tales per ifsdb

Nice. I see Jon Bernthal as the leering hood and a young Nicole Kidman as the blonde.

Thanks. That scan is so dark and I'm not getting much luck changing the settings. I think my scanner is finally giving out on flat items. Here's a twofer with the other baddest "...girl" out there.... Much more representative of the color palette.

No, I wish, I had most of them back in the day. Just got this one. Sweet books! Is that the orignal artwork ?

The baddest "Girl" of them all...

Gorgeous... I had a near perfect copy I sold to Jon Warren. I'll get another at some point...

I consider any book titled ".... Girl" as fair game for my JD collection. I'm very inclusive...

Girls Who Take Chances

Nah.. too innocent

If you ever rode the subway up to Lenox & 131st back in the day you know what it is...

By far the scarcest desirable late Avon in condition...

Carny Girls in da House

I'm filing this with my Harlan Ellison collection. even though this is much scarcer...

I'm a need some of this to understand the modern world...

Secret trials with selective leaks...sounds good to me Usually ends up bad tho...

Scarce Ace... looks like it has contemporary relevance to me...
