At the bottom of the case on the right. It came with the 1939-40 Shadow Christmas Toy promotion - “Shadow Hat and Cape”.

I have The Shadow, Doc Savage, and Nick Carter stampers. This is one of a few rooms in the house with vintage Shadow collectibles (Only thing not vintage is a little painting at the bottom of the Cape and the banner in the background that had to be put somewhere as they were both given to me).

The only known example and one of my favourite Shadow Advertising Signs. I have 18 vintage Shadow advertising signs from the 1930s and 40s. This advertising sign was used on the back cover of Martin Grams extensive and outstanding book on The History of The Shadow Radio Show. This is large 16”x 24” silkscreen Sign (circa. 1837-38). Blue Coal sponsored “The Shadow” radio shows during this season and many others *Remember most of the standard window card signs were 11 1/2” x 14 1/2”.*

Here is very tiny sample of my vintage Shadow collection. I do have non-shadow premiums as well. I’ll list most of the Shadow items under the Shadow pulps & vintage collectables thread, as they are not true premiums (advertising signs etc.).

For whatever reason the group of saucy movie tales (more than what I posted), mystery adventures, saucy romantic tales, and the Saucy Stories that Todd posted, all came from the same collection that I purchased, and all had white paper!!

A site for Saucy Movie Tales, Mystery Adventurers, Saucy Romantic Tales! I will get it going with few pics below, then post away! 👍

Yes, Wu Fangs and Yen Sin: Jerome did both of them. The Shadow: He did Shadow’s #3-5 in 1931. After that George took over.

Your said it yourself in your opening line, probably not appropriate to go onto a thread created by somebody that’s obviously very passionate about weird tales and Brundage, and trash Brundage. You might word it like “what is the appeal to Brundage, because I see that her work as very stylized and not as professionally detailed as other artists.” I personally would not go onto a thread of Norman Rockwell ‘s art, and trash him on the thread. If I didn’t like Rockwell, I might take the tact in saying “what is the appeal to Norman Rockwell that drives you as collectors as I would like to know, as I personally don’t see it” I understand your points of view, but phrasing it differently would have been a better choice.

Origin Issue!

Let’s try and keep this to runs that consist of 10 or less pulps, give or take a few! I’ll start with a few books to get it going, then you guys take it away after that!
