You been raised right Pat It's even more obvious if you know the backstory: Weird Tales artist who paints in a "globular" style uses a swipe of an old Weird Tales cover to paint a known "globular" style cover in the same year as fanciful "globular" style covers appear on Avon Fantasy Readers in a style that looks like no other artist in the world than... that Weird Tales artist Including an obvious swipe of a Graves Gladney Shadow cover on AFR No. 6 Nah.. couldn't be the most obvious artist in the Avon/Weird Tales orbit at the time

100% not Bok. If I ever have time, maybe i'll collect all of my posts about why I think A.R. Tilburne is the artist on AFR No.2,3,4 and probably 5 & 6 as well and try to put an article together. I think my many points are persuasive.

Ed Hulse recently posted this copy, he won't mind if I share... This is what she looked like to guys stopping at the rack in Woolworths in 1948

Posted this on the pb thread but guess here's where it belongs with an interior pic as well... Amazing Detective Cases, April 1944. An early usage of the Atlas logo. I believe Human Torch #14 from December 1943 was the first. This usage is parallel with Goodman's mid 1940's crime digests... Some nice interiors, especially the fonts on story title pages... This cool two page splash illo by 1940's pro Arnold Allen

I like a nice minty fresh Avon once in a while. They have a certain charm to them.

I love seeing vintage pb's bought for the interiors as well as the covers, especially non high grade books. Although I am crazy about cover art, I read a TON of my vintage pbs and many obscure books and lesser (or un) known authors have compelling reading in them. I feel like starting a thread on the Pulp section on them

One Million Dollars Great cover . I'd use the lower tier for submission if it was mine. Just because someone might pay crazy for it doesn't mean you should volunteer to pay higher for grading.

Lot's of gr8 books Robot Man

Tough book

I've fought the urge to hit the BIN on quite a few of these lately. There's a lot of cool looking covers but soooo many issues, I'd probably not be able to stop!

I'll probably post this elsewhere as well but I know there's some Atlas logo lovers over here. Amazing Detective Cases, April 1944. I don't usually get too excited about photo covers but it's nicely colorized and this is the only issue of the series with an Atlas logo. It's a pretty early usage

FTFY Nice Pops

I don't like The Spine Tics... or The Bindery Chips either

Back to the creepy covers... I like a nice minty fresh Dell once in a while. They have a certain charm. Cover art by Gerald Gregg. 1946, Golden Age goodness Mapback of "Pollock and the Porroh Man" by H.G. Wells.

Uncredited, and I haven't seen any guesses.

I'd go see The Good Girls open up for The Nipple Covers

Love Romance Series No. 1 was the last of the three I acquired. It took years to find one

Walter Popp's cover girl is gritty and excellent - and this one is a great read to boot. Calling the dude a "Heel" is kindness, he's a real POS

This article about Hitt is more colorful and entertaining than a dull Wiki... https://www.criminalelement.com/orrie-hitt-the-shakespeare-of-shabby-street-hall-of-fame-pulp-brian-greene/
