  1. It's desirable as a really cool, oddball DC, that's for sure. I've had a decent example of a serial poster for some time now, but the comics have eluded me.
  2. Here's a Lovell from one of my mags, plus a Dorothy Monet, an Arthur Sarnoff, one by Whitcomb, and a Baumhofer, whose work in the slicks was every bit as good as the pulps.
  3. I love all the mid-century artists like Whitcomb, Whitmore, Lovell, Parker, Peterson, etc., but I don’t buy all of these editions when they come out. A few I pick up used here and there, but as you are seeing, they generally command a premium after they sell out. There are simply too many for me to buy every one, so instead I grab average copies of Ladie’s Home Journal, Cosmopolitan, Woman’s Home Companion, etc. when I find them as I usually like to see the art in the original context, like this Whitcomb shown here (lower right):
  4. I checked with a high school junior: Tarzan and Popeye, check and double-check. From that second group: Stooges for sure, and the Lone Ranger registered a little glimmer. From Bookery's list a bit further up on the page, there would be many more hits. Still, I think you'd have to go pretty deep to find a youngster that knows Ellery Queen!
  5. Yeah, PCH aint' half bad for a ride... Sands had a few his records in the late 50's, and was married to Nancy Sinatra for a while. I know Sands did teen idol type movies, one with Fabian, but I don't recall if he was ever a Mouseketeer. Guess I'll have to have a closer look at the magazine!
  6. Well, you led with your best - that being the Dynamic. The other sci-fi issues in that sort of shape are not desirable to most pulp collectors. Most of the sci-if stuff from the 40’s and 50’s is plentiful, and unless it’s a noteworthy robot or BEM* cover, the mags would need to be in better condition to curry much interest. The Wonder Stories shown above is a good bit earlier, but again the condition just isn’t there, even though I think it looks cool and well-loved.
  7. Yep, not the best source of transportation if you plan on buying a whole lot, but it’s a good reset, that’s for sure. There’s something both magical but a little sad around harvest time in the Midwest. It’s acre after acre of watching them bringing in the year’s corn, which leaves the land looking so barren, but as a ritual it’s got such an obvious bustle of industry to it. That a long winter is just around the corner can be a bit of a downer sometimes… That’s cool that you already have one - I think that’s the first 3-D Lucy I remember coming across. I recently picked up one-shot magazines on Vince Edwards and Tommy Sands. You see the Marilyn and James Dean issues at fairly high prices at shows, but the Tommy Sands was a new one for me. Of course, barely one in a hundred people could probably recall Tommy Sands, and in less than a decade, absolutely nobody will care, but that’s besides the point…
