Fun group as always.

 

At least the image was reversed this time and in fact since Wings 91 came out March 1948, the comic for once precedes the pulp -

Not only is that a great card cover, it has the sleeve of tattoos to go with it. Great books. Thanks Cimm.

 

I am going to have a hard time finding them, but I love knowing they are there.

Surprisingly accurate Luer-Lok syringe. I wonder whether the artist drew (traced?) it straight out of a medical supplies catalog.

 

Great stuff! Keep 'em coming.

Another pulp mail day here - I'm pretty happy about the Thrilling Mystery since I passed on a copy at the Windy City pulp show for about $50 and I've regretted it since then ... but I was able to pick this one for about $20 on eBay

[Cimm]

Nice pick-ups, man! I was watching that Thrilling Mystery, but wasn't home to throw a bid on it... Congrats on the Phantom Detective, as well...

Thanks. The Phantom Detective looks much better in hand than it did on the pic on eBay. I can't tell how happy I am you weren't home Did you win anything from that seller?

Well I picked up my most wanted pulp - the 1943 Star Western. I saw the cover art in a pulp calendar and bought the calendar just to find out where the art came from. I stumbled across this one - a Bethlehem pedigree - when i was buying another Bethlehem book from the same dealer.

 

Now I can put that poker-playing Popeye at the top of my want list.

Other pulps picked up this week:

 

[Scrooge]

Sweet Star Westerns. They generally are better sellers than most other Western series and the covers are part of that equation.

 

Another pulp mail day. First one and another in the next post. First this Clues Detective Stories with what I'd consider a classic cover -

[Scrooge]

And second, this is one that both Jack and Bill will like - THE Thrilling Wonder Giant Ant prototype book with an interior illo. You'll have to guess who it is by ...

[Cimm]

NICE one, Scrooge!

THE Thrilling Wonder Giant Ant prototype book with an interior illo. You'll have to guess who it is by ...

 

 

The cover is by Howard Brown and the interior illo is by Alex Schomburg.

Yup for all Schomburg afficionados, that's a Schomburg illo. The story title is actually The Star Parade btw.

 

Did you cheat and simply looked at your copy?

THE Thrilling Wonder Giant Ant prototype

Reminiscent of Strange Adventures #30, except that the humans are now on foot.

Nice catch, zzutak! That's almost certainly a swipe!

I was more thinking about this one ...

Richard Crenna

 

 

I thought that he looked like Richard Boone who starred in Have Gone Will Travel.

I hadn't made the connection, but I'd have sworn this was Randolph Scott. Now I'm sure it must be.
