  1. Thank you 😆 yah that stiff arm is great! The Star Sports was the first sports pulp title that Martin Goodman produced. The editor of that pulp title was Sydney Charles Goodman, Martin’s little brother, who would die in 1937 due to a fever. SCG also edited all the Ka-zar pulps.
  2. Here’s a fearsome foursome 🏈😤🏈😤🏈😤🏈 Publication dates: January, 1937 January, 1938 December, 1939 (please excuse the comic book, but it is the Larson copy ☺️) January, 1940
  3. My latest Timely - it’s been 20 years since I owned the 8. Glad to have one again 😀 On the stands in April, 1940. Another great Schomburg cover. This side bar is my favorite
  4. I got this S. Charles Goodman edited sports pulp a few days ago…SCG was a younger brother of Martin Goodman. Best Sports Magazine (January, 1937) 🏈🏈🏈 nice white cover and square spine.
  5. This arrived over the weekend. Real Mystery (July, 1940) JW Scott cover
  6. This arrived today… Fantastic Story Magazine Fall, 1954 Classic Robot 🤖 cover by Jack Coggins This pulp was used as a movie prop in Back to the Future as it was laying next to George McFly as he was asleep. Here’s the clip:
  7. This arrived today. I suppose it qualifies for this thread 👍🏽 Detective Short Stories November, 1937 Hypo/Bondage cover by JW Scott. The chemistry ⚗️ equipment reminds me of my copy of Detective Comics 18 (1938). Here’s the original art painting 🖼️ by Scott (I am not the owner)
  8. Do you know when/if they started published mags with all Holmes stories?
  9. Some of my favored, early Subby covers 💧⛴️✈️ 🏍️ 🚊 🔥
  10. Celebrating the 84th anniversary of its August 31, 1939 release (OCT copy) of Marvel Comics 1. 🔥🪽💧🤠🌳🏁🦁 (Please excuse the 1939 Wizard Of Oz movie novel, and the pulp library 📚 )
  11. His sexy ankle wings 🪽 are quite popular. Here’s my low grader #1 to follow up @MrBedrock and his spectacular Subby set 👍🏽
  12. This one arrived today. It appears to be tied for the third pulp ever that Martin Goodman published. His name is in the indicia which is a nice bonus. 😈 💎 Black Book Detective Magazine (Mutual Magazines/Newsstand Publications- July, 1933) Rafael DeSoto cover. Goodman and his partner, Louis Silberkleit, had just lost their circulation dept positions at Eastern Distribution Corporation due to bankruptcy in 1932. They manned together to start up Mutual Magazines/Newsstand Publications in 1933. They had started with four pulp titles and Black Book Detective was their second title. Louis (L in MLJ) would eventually be the third co-owner of MLJ Comics (Archie) and Goodman would start Timely/Marvel in 1939. Harry Donenfeld was a co founder of Eastern prior to its bankruptcy and would also start Independent News shortly after. IND News would be a major distributor for DC comics well into the Silver Age. Goodman enlisted IND to distribute Marvel Comics (SA Marvel covers have an IND printed on them). At one point, Goodman, Louis, and Donenfeld would briefly share the same Lower Manhattan office building as pulp publishers. Donenfeld would later purchase the rights to National/DC in 1938 from Wheeler-Nichols for $19.7k.
  13. A set of four, Goodman Westerns. He loved his westerns 🤠 🤠Masked Rider (May, 1934) 🤠Quick Trigger Western Novels (Oct, 1939) (Marvel Comics ad) 🤠Best Western (Nov, 1940) (one of three pulps that contain the Human Torch/Marvel Mystery comic strip ad) 🤠Western Short Stories (Nov, 1949)
  14. I’m sure but NM in pulps is more like VF in comics.
  15. Here are four pulps that I am currently hunting for. Drop me a PM if you have any of these available or know anyone that does. Thanks 🙏🏽 🤠 Masked Rider (Aug, 1934) 🕵 Detective Fiction Weekly (June 15, 1935) 💃🏽 Star Detective Magazine (Dec, 1936) 🕳️ Real Mystery (July, 1940)
  16. Greetings - I didn’t see an official “wanted” thread for pulps so I’ll create this one since I am looking for a few myself. Feel free to keep this thread going by posting your pulp desires… 🔎 👣🔍
  17. Here’s a shot in the dark (or maybe it’s a dimly lit room 😀) - I’ve been looking for a copy of Detective Fiction Weekly from June 15, 1935. I bought this copy on eBay from a guy a last week. It turns out, the dealer said they already sold it in a cash deal at Pulp Fest to a person named “Paul” but he forgot to take to down from eBay. I was refunded promptly. I’m wondering if anyone happens to know “Paul” from Pulp Fest and could contact him and ask if he’s willing to let that pulp go. Or, “Paul” if you are reading this and wish to reach out, send me a PM. Thanks 😊
  18. This came today - January, 1938. Now I have a Brundage brunette, Brundage blonde, and a Brundage red head❣️ 🦇 🧙 🦇
  19. Got these in yesterday. I’ve been looking for the Ka-zar (October,1936) all summer and finally found one at Pulp Fest. There is a nice arrival date of “7-29” on the “K” in the logo. The Marvel Tales (December,1939) cover is really impactful in hand. Both covers done by JW Scott. Since I’m a Timely fan, it is noted that the MT was released the same month as Marvel Mystery Comics 2 and Daring Mystery Comics 1 - October, 1939. There is a partial date stamp on the “L” of the logo of the MT that reads “OCT 18 AM” 🦁 🪽
  20. Action 121, Tec 136, Supe 53, Bat 47 Looks like April/May, 1948 http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/newsstand.php?publisher=dc&type=calendar&month=4&year=1948&sort=alpha
