It would be a Crime not to post your Detective Pulps
Surfing Alien replied to Robot Man's topic in Pulp Magazines
Inside Detective, August 1939. Cover by Harwood Forsgren. A bit dingy but when it comes to 1930's crime mags -

Darings are swell, I love the 1930's books. The Master Detective, September 1934. Cover art by Dalton Stevens. Sucks when you pull that Death Card... I like the Lantern logo on the early issues. -
Some friday fun I got a real nice publication/stage/screen history of Rinehart's "The Bat" from Ed Hulse on another post recently. The 1929 & 1930 movies are considered to be influences on "The Batman" comic character. The Dell Mapback is pretty tough in any shape, especially with the lamination intact. The later printing (#652) with the textured cover is quite cool as well. Just read "A Ticket To Hell" in the Black Lizard edition and man, what a great period the mid 1950's was for Whittington. A real taut suspense read. Eurasian Girl by Richard Grant, pseudonym of Dr. Joseph Calvitt Clarke. Uni-Book #30, 1952. Cover art by Warren King. A pretty spectacular Uni-Book, a series fraught with cheap paper covers that are usually trashed. Unnatural by Sloane Britton, pseudonym of Elaine Williams. Midwood No. 47 1960. Cover art by Paul Rader. I wish I could find more lesbian GGA books to buy because any undercopies sell practically instantly in my ebay store, no matter what price I put on 'em Queer Affair by Carol Emery. Beacon Books B377 a 1961 second print of the earlier B135 PBO from 1957. Cover art by Frank Uppwall. A blazing mint copy with white pages. I'll probably sell it but just finding and owning this copy is a one of those experiences that make collecting vintage pbs fun

I know I didn't have any Silk Stocking Stories (and there's a couple of Cardwell Higgins covers so I will have to get after those eventually since I can't get enough Cardwell Higgins since @Pat Calhoun pointed out his artwork on the Atlas Digests a while back ) September 1937 and December 1937 respectively. You gotta love the playful lil' pup

I don't think I have any Spicy Stories so was happy to get these in. April 1933 and April 1934. The interiors are spicier than I imagined - actual nudes and plenty of 'em. Definitely seem like the Playboy of their time.

Definitely very cool interiors. Here's one from the 1942 Amazing above, Simon was gone but the layouts are still cool and usually one or two great illos. This one is killer. I'll definitely be looking out for more, even though I don't generally collect photo cover mags, these have a great look to them and the interiors are very cool. -

Congrats, that was a nice book too I wanted to go fairly hard at the Siren so couldn't bid on all of them. They went fairly reasonable though imho

It's not just about GGA and scifi/horror/suspense for me. Honest! I collect all the classics I love as well. Got a nice upgrade to Hiroshima by John Hersey, Bantam 404 from 1948. Cover art by Geoffrey Biggs. One of those timeless covers that tells more by what you can't see even than by what you can.

A couple of killer Amazing Detective mags with painted covers by Driben and Saunders. I have the Cardwell Higgins covers so have most of the painted covers now. A sweet little series. -
Looks like a nice prelim to me actually

Well, this happened, the December 1934 Film Fun with the classic Motorcycle Siren cover by Bolles. I don't have too many Girlys but wanted this issue for the longest time so was super pumped to get one. It's my favorite Film Fun along with the Snake Charmer.

You're really trying to separate me from my wallet with this information
