This too is a nice example of a Digest. This one of the numbered, individual novel type highly prevalent in the 40's - 60's with a suwheet GGA cover of Dr. Wertham engaging in what he engaged in when he wasn't having headlight fantasies about Phantom Lady Digests are easy. I know 'em when I see 'em. These are them

She Lived In Sin (The Sins of Donna Kenyon) Croydon No. 101R 1954 Cover art by Lou Marchetti Some of these late number Croydons you just never see, this one is a first for me. The story is a reprint of Stork Books No. 6, which may account for the "R" in the numbering This incredible copy is one of my pickups from the LA show that I'm finally getting to re-bagging and cataloguing. I am definitely going to have to do another sale because I can't get my overflow boxes to fit back in the closet anymore

Swamp Hoyden by Jack Woodford and John B. Thompson Uni Book No. 71. Cover art by Saul Levine (Re-used on Whittington's "Cracker Girl") Once you start collecting digests, especially Uni Books and the others with thin cover paper, it becomes a tough itch to scratch This one has it all, high grade, swamps & cleavage. What more could a man ask for ?

While we're still on the re-use subject, I dug back once again to the legendary Doohickamabob thread where he posted literally every Avon/Realistic comic/paperback re-use (starting on page 8) so no one has to go looking or wondering what there was... A fun thread and a great effort on the original poster's part

The WEIRD TALES Thread: Collecting The Unique Magazine
Surfing Alien replied to RedFury's topic in Pulp Magazines
Nice. I'm really glad I grabbed a few back in the days of sanity. Moving to another artist, "The Dark Man" cover may be my favorite I have of Senf's covers. A gem of a tale is what led me to the cover 👍- 423 replies

Ha - I know you love that purported Cardwell Higgins - although I could see it possibly being a concept sketch for a girlie by someone like him. The "study" for Reefer Girl sold for $20k back in a time when the market was hotter for Illustration art. It will be interesting to see what the true published cover goes for on the 23rd. I can imagine it would go for quite a bit more, being so iconic but it's hard to tell in today's market what anything will go for. I could see myself throwing a thrill bid on one or two of the cheaper items that looks cool but I haven't seen anything that was really cool go for cheap on HA
