Nice catch, PH, I'm ready to call it a definite swipe/inspiration (not a mere trace or anything).  I like the Thrills and Chills worked into the northern lights back there, too.

I've got a couple of these polar bear/aurora borealis covers

 

 

P.S. Happy to see some Argosy around here, I feel like Argosy/All-Story and similar titles don't get much representation on the boards, maybe because the covers don't tend to be very sensational in nature (there are some in that category, though).

Very nice Charles Vess-like polar bear, wonderfully rendered....  above a hungry flock of gulls trying to pick at the most beautiful dead seal you ever saw.  The artist's sig looks like it was signed by 3 people.  Seriously, cool cover though!

I can try to find what box this one is in and rescan it if you were interested in working on it, Darwin.

3-D cover!  ONE MILLION DOLLARS.  Pretty cool, though

Hadn't noticed that about his sig before, but you're right.  Dude was a taxidermist

He did a number of pulp covers (mostly for Adventure but also at Short Stories, Outdoor Stories, and Argosy) but did most of his work at the SEP and Boy's Life

Another polar bear, a *little* more imposing - sorry for the little images here, was hoping my girl Saskia had got her hands on either of these issues, but no dice:

I totally love this, going on my personal huntlist

This elephant cover is really cool, too (scarce title here)

Twice as nice raw Brundage.
 

A graded 7.0 sold on Heritage over the weekend. Appears to be a generous grade.

These just arrived.

I think the FFM is a really cleverly done cover.

Kinda surprised at the booty detail going on in the second one

Just got some Foxy books in. I really dig MF as an artist. Just wonderful work. His style reminds me of our very own Matthew (shiverbones) who is also an amazing artist!

Yes ... I've seen those kind of buttocks before. They're the kind of buttocks that can launch a thousand ships.  GOD BLESS ...

Some nice Foxes just in. I suppose MF is an acquired taste for some but I truly love his work.

Blue Book Burroughs issues are really cool. Here is a local flea market find in 2021. The lady had them priced at $10-40 each and she was selling them for half price. They were cover dated from 1928 up to the late thirties. I quickly snatched up most of them. Was considering even some of the real low grade ones when some guy grabbed the rest.

The funny part was there were a couple young flippers with their phones frantically trying to find prices on the two boxes of modern comics. When I walked up they just shoved the box of Blue Books at me trying to keep me away from what they were looking at.

The first Burroughs pulp I ever owned (and one of the first 10 or so pulps, period) was an Amazing Stories Quarterly with a John Carter story.  I love those rebound giants whenever I see them, which isn't often.

This isn't that one, it's a different ASQ I have with a Burroughs story.
