Wow, 30 hours with no posts!

BZ, can you post pictures of your Phantom Ladies?

I am seriously thinking of starting to collect pulps also after seeing all of the beautiful copies in this thread. They seem far more affordable than comics (ie, in my price range) and seem to have lots of hidden treasures within

 

Any recommendations of titles to look into for both art and stories? Thanks!

 

What genres do you like the best (sci-fi, western, detective, hero pulps, weird menace, aviation, etc.)?

 

I didn't know where to start helping you but BZ as usual nailed it on the head. Genre is a big driver for pulp collectors (as well as writers first and foremost). Personally, I like Adventure, Aviation and Detective pulps even though I do read the Hero pulps as well. Once decided on a genre, stand-out titles from each will emerge in our collective mind. In fact, I'm curious to hear what others have to say about this issue. So, Ash, what say are your favorite genres?

I am probably most interested in sci-fi/weird menance, hero/adventure and detective pulps (in that order). Aviation and Western pulps have never really interested me (except for non-fiction written during the time of the "Indian Wars").

Thanks BZ and Scrooge (and everyone else)!

Here is a really tough one...try to find the comics:

Omaha, Nebraska, November 1938 ... good luck with this one!

 

 

 

That's a great one for pulp fans (thumbs u but IIRC, there are no comics in that picture.

I found that http://www.thepulp.net/PulpHistory/pulprackphotos.html?photo=7 has closeups and there are a few comics in the upper left.

August 1958

1947 - I don't know if this has been shown yet. You can actually see stuff in this picture (Modern Comics, Wilbur, Mutt & Jeff, etc)

Omaha, Nebraska, November 1938 ... good luck with this one!

Very pretty books

BangZoom, do you have any "Good Girl" comics? Any Phantom Lady?

I love these threads

If it were me, I would stop payment on the check.

Doesn't that cost $20 at a lot of banks? If your total is only $50, it may be better to contact him first.

Wow, I almost bought a double cover Wolverine #50 (w/ a signature) from him. I am glad I chickened out!

Isn't he a board member?

Oh, do tell! I searched, but haven't been able to find any other references to him (stupid "*" in his name; had to use "+thanos +titan" and most posts were by me anyway ).

Batman 232 - 9.6 WP

Nice! Picture?

I read online that there is also a variant where the orange and black was reversed (which actually looks more correct than the "normal" issue).

I've never seen a photo of that other edition.

 

Do you know if there one anywhere on the Internet?

 

Yes, it is at http://www.yankeeclassic.com/miskatonic/library/stacks/periodicals/weirdta/wt1923/wt1923.htm

 

 

Never have I seen that before or certainly read before!!! Thanks for posting these for all of us on your Anniversary!!! (thumbs u

Thanks, BO.

 

I know there probably aren't many Weird Tales fans here, but I figured there might be a few people who'd get a kick out of seeing such a historic pulp.

 

 

 

Holy cow!!!....I've always been curious as to what a 1/1 issue looked like....late 1800's !!!...WoW!!!...

 

PS: Is that the original cover???...

Math isn't your strong point, is it?

This is the first March 1923 issue. I read online that there is also a variant where the orange and black was reversed (which actually looks more correct than the "normal" issue).

Wow! That sure is a lot nicer than the only crusty copy Heritage ever sold.... (no, it is not mine)

While my wife would be mad if I spent $4K on a comic, she may castrate me if I went with option #2

Nice Supes! I really like yellow covers for some reason...

Wow. I love Raymond's art! He was the first GA artist who's art I saw that really blew me away (good ol' Flash Gordon). I couldn't believe at the time that his art was so much better than everyone else's that I had seen.

(Frazetta was my 2nd GA love )

6.5 unrestored cgc ACTION # 1

 

 

If the AA16 really just sold for anywhere north of 600K, then immediately that validates a 6.5 Blue Action 1 as worth that much or more, with a heckuva lot more upside to come.

Someone wrote earlier that the owner was offered $800K for the AA16 and passed

O.k. How about this one ...

 

My 6.5 unrestored cgc ACTION # 1 Or The Mile High 9.4 cgc unrestored AA 16 ?

9.4 AA 16!

Mystery in Space #70: pages are out of order with page 6 first

All-American Comics #16 9.4 is now listed ....
