[font:Arial Black]Just had my Shadow pulp Interior original art page framed with the issue of the pulp that it originated from. The page is one of the earliest known...and is one of only 4 known interior Shadow pages by Lovell in existence (with the Shadow image in it). Shadowed Millions - January 1, 1933 - Artist - Tom Lovell[/font] [font:Arial Black]Dwight[/font]

Just picked up another sharp copy (my 3rd) of "The Voodoo Master" - Classic Cover - March 1, 1936. Newsstand fresh with white paper. Dwight

Just picked up a Spider "File Copy". This was by far the nicest of 15+ Spider File Copies that the original buyer had. [font:Arial Black]Spider Pulp - FILE COPY - May 1936 - "SLaves of the Dragon"[/font]

Hi Theagenes , In the Cimmerian, I was the one who found the copy of "Gent from Bear Creek" and traded it for a group of high grade early Shadow pulps...12 in total (8 pictured). What was funny is that I had no idea what the Gent from Bear Creek was. I was told that there was a guy who had a number of high grade 1932 and 1933 Shadow pulps with bone white paper. I did not know who had the pulps, but John Gunnison did, and said that the only way that the guy would get rid of the Shadows was if I could come up with a copy of the Gent from Bear Creek. I asked John, "how hard could it be to find this book", and John laughed and said that are only 7-8 known copies in existence. Oh well, I thought I would never get the Shadows. Unbelievably, 3 weeks later Frank Robinson called me and said someone just listed a Gent from Bear Creek on ebay. I phoned up the guy, did a deal to buy it on a "Buy it Now", and then did the trade. Sometimes things happen in when you least expect them to. Dwight

Hi BZ, John did not get any original art. It was sold before Darell passed away. Dwight

BZ, What a great cover on the "Cave Man". Dwight

"The Creeping Death" Shadow Pulp - Jan 15, 1933 Oil on canvas (painting was actually done in 1932)

Awesome illustration by Walter Appleton Clark, BZ!!! Dwight

It is a great cover. I sold a killer copy two years back for $400.00+, so I think $250.00 is a good price! Dwight

A few more from my collection. Dwight

GREAT JOB MULTICYNIC!!! Alot of the pulps in that era are tough because of the low print run. There are some great covers and with hundreds of nice pulps and I am sure that numerous people will be chomping at the bit for them, and compared to the price of silver and bronze age comics, they are well worth it! It isn't everyday you find a pulp collection with nearly 1000 books and with nice paper to boot. I don't know how you do it, but great job! ***I can't wait to see them!*** Dwight

EC, Outstanding job on the pulps and comics in your collection! I really like the way you have them displayed. Can you take some pics of the display that you have where the books are angled. Did you build the displays or buy them? Looks GREAT!!! Dwight

Hi Scrooge, I have heard that argument from the old pulp guys about "pulp collecting is all about the stories". For me, it is ALL about the cover artwork. My collection is ultra high grade because I like the cover artwork. Call me radical, but I could care less about the stories...I love pulp paintings, and I love the cover art work. Nothing against people who love the stories, but there are strictly two types of pulp collectors, those who collect to read and those who collect for the artwork. The companies hired HJ Ward, George Rozen, Saunders, Baumhofer,Howett, St. John, and other greats is because they wanted the covers of their pulps to stand out at the newsstand, to attract attention and promote the titles. Dwight

Hi, There was only one Shadow pulp painting in Charles Martignette's collection (The Black Master from 1932). The Third Skull that was in the last illustration auction did not come from Martignette, it was from a different owner. Dwight

Nice Flash Gordon Theagenes, I was the under bidder and had I realized that you needed one, I would have laid off it completely, because I have a killer one in my own collection. If there are other pulps you are looking for, let me know because I am looking at a few pulp collections now. Dwight
