I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours! 23 23

Street and Smith had their hand in every type of pulp. Dizzy used to announce baseball games when I was a kid. He was a real character.

bb

Bondage and G-Men with practical advice for future crimestoppers.

[BB-Gun]

And masked heroes like the Moon Man and the Spider. The spider had some neat interior art too.

bb

I am not sure whether the Moon Man was really a good guy or a bad guy but he was tangling with the Skeleton.

Cover was touched up a little, especially on the bottom right corner.

[Scrooge]

They must have used the letters from the publicity films as a model for the pulp cover. What year was that pulp?

 

The pulp is from Feb - March 1942 like this one. It's not Alex working on the cover though but his brother August here.

 

This is not quite a pulp since it's mostly facts with very few fiction pages but it's a worthwhile having book.

 

This was put out by A.A. Wyn who also published Ace Comics. Below is an ad for their comic line from the back pages.

 

Not shown here is Jim Mooney's cover for Lightning Comics v. 2 # 3 with a dramatic bombing scene. BB, do you know what German bomber type is on that cover?

I would guess that the bombers were Junkers but I would have to check. They were slow and didn't carry a large bomb load. Fortunately the Brits had radar and superior fighters.

The RAF plight resonated with the public in North America and lead to this short-lived series: RAF Aces. IIRC, the title died with the end of the Battle of Britain and the entry of the US forces in the conflict.

 

The cover at first is not quite exciting but grows on you and Belarski did a nice job on it. It occurs to me that there's a parachute seen here but I wouldn't call it a 'Trooper book though.

[Scrooge]

No company wanted to be caught without an Air War pulp on the stands, so we also had Fighting Aces next to Flying Aces -

[Scrooge]

And from the same company we also have Battle Birds, the "Best in Air Fiction." I am not so sure about that but it's another fun book -

[BB-Gun]

August did Flying Aces and Alex did Radio Craft. When they worked together, I think August did the airplanes and Alex did the people. Al McWilliams did the interior art for Flying Aces.

Great covers guys. Just one question for anyone who might know out there. One of the Marvel Science pulps that is done by Kirby and Simon has a story of one guy who takes a Serum formula and becomes a super soldier. Is that a Captain America proto-type? is it confirmed ? Is my question clear enough?

[Cimm]

Great books, BB... Wanna sell them?

[BB-Gun]

Oh you wanted to know what the plane was on the cover of Lightning V2#3.

I thought it was a Messerschmitt 110. Design of planes for war was new and the Germans had some odd looking aircraft but no superplanes like the cover of Marvel Mystery 44(?).

I have some books for sale. These Fiction House are for sale and I have a dozen Wild West Weekly (1935 or so) and Range Romance (1948-51) that I would like to sell.

I think I had four issues of Sport Stories in the old box off the back of a truck. This one has a good action cover. The adventure comic has a guy set up to swing his snowshoe like a lefty. Perhaps he was a baseball player too.

Not old (published in 1997). These were limited to 100 copies each and sold for about $10. Great research articles and art featuring the Shadow and other great pulps. Here are Aces 8-14.

 

The cover art is done by Paul M. McCall.
