    I love those pulps. :applause:

     

    Both covers are painted by JW Scott.

     

    I've got three original pulp covers by Scott.

     

    Here's one...

    Uncanny Tales (August 1939)

     

     

     

     

    Man, thats cool! I remember when you first posted it. I don't even have the mag. One of the best Uncanny Tales covers. Does your wife make you hang it in the garage?

  2. Question on the Manhunts... They appear to be crime books but they have a very horror feel. Should I file them in my crime box or my horror box? I have #14 with the wild pygmy, hypo, bondage cover in my horror box but I'd like to keep them all together. What do you think?

  3. Well, Robotman scored yesterday morning at the flea market. Got these 4 Manhunts + about 6 other not so exciting GA comics for a 10 spot each! I didn't have any of these in my collection and have been looking for a while. I guess it pays getting up at 4:00 AM, putting on a jacket and driving up there!

     

    These are real underrated. In addition to great covers, they have L.B. Cole and Fred Guardenieer stories with good content.

     

    I collected quite a bit of pre-code crime during my pre-code horror days. Never came across that title. Didn't even know it existed. VERY cool books!!!

     

    The guy had most issues from #2-11. I did get all of them but some are "western crime" and some are "sci-fi crime" These had the best covers. He didn't have #14 which I do have. It is the wildest cover of the run with a little pygmy sitting on a bound girl sticking a hypo into her neck!

  4. Score #2 different guy. Couple of cool pulps for a 5 spot apiece. He had more later issues but they just didn't excite me so I left them for the next schmoo (I ain't greedy)

     

    V1#1 1939 Cool nude girl in a tube cover. Has Paul illustrations inside + an ad for the premier issue of MLJ's Blue Ribbon Comics.

    Love those Sharon. Gotta get me some Banner comics. The only Super Mystery that I want and don't have is that one with the girl on the table with the spikes on fire about to come down on her. I think it is V2#6. There is one that keeps getting relisted in fleebay but the guy wants too much and it has pieces replaced that he isn't disclosing. I'll hold out for a better one.

  8. A few scarce St John Giants

    Ernie photographed my Windy City St.John giants. These are nice - any chance you remember when you acquired them, Bob?

     

    Hi Gary. I've has some of these so long I don't remember where I got them. Do any look like Windy copies?

  9. If your collection is as big as I think it is..you are gonna crack 100K views by the end of the year...I just might have start adding my stuff to this thead...and we will make it 200K in a year..lol

     

    I really don't care Mitch. I'm not here for numbers. You are welcome to contribute anything to this thread (or anyone else for that matter). I'd love to see everyone's stff and hear some stories. I know you got both!

  10. I'm sure there are more out there. Until today you didn't know about this one. I got mine years ago and don't really keep track any more. I love Giants/annuals and was on a tear years ago. I believe I have most of the St John ones in all genres. Glad I got them when they were under the radar!
