Great Artwork!

 

Yeah, that was my thought too. Very Frazetta-like.

 

I think St John had a lot of influence on Frazetta.

So, as I said I didn't win any of the copies of The Phantagraph in the Adventure House auction, but I did know the person who won the three issues with the REH essay "The Hyborian Age." He is a well know Howard scholar, and he was kind enough to sell me his undercopy of the 2/36 issue since he upgraded.

 

Picking this up also inspired me to start a series on collecting REH fanzines for my Cimmerian column:

That is awesome!

 

This must have been published right around the time of Howard's suicide. Can't be too many of these still in existence.

[Theagenes]

Thanks John. The original print run was probably less than a hundred or so, so yes I can't imagine that there would be much more than a dozen of these still in existence.

[JohnT]

On to a much more common item...

 

I just finished reading this one, and I have to say most of the stories sucked. I think I'll move on to other pulp series.

Here's a tough #1 issue I've been looking for for a while!

Wow - gorgeous book!

I thought I would post the VERY RARE Canadian ONE SHOT entitled Eerie Tales from my collection, published in Toronto in 1941. There are only a few copies in existence. I acquired my copy from the personal collection of Jerry Weist:

 

 

A little history on this pulp, cited from Don Hutchinson, a recognized authority on vintage pulp magazines:

 

"Eerie Tales had boasted on its cover: "Every Story Original." Published by C.K. Publishing Co. of Toronto, the magazine made good on its claim but unfortunately lasted only one issue. It is now probably the rarest of all the so-called CanPulps. Once again Thomas P Kelley ("The Horror Man" as the cover proclaimed) dominated the fledgling publication with one story and the beginning of a serial written under his own name plus a number of other pseudonymous gems bearing titles like "Horror in the Dungeon," and "The Phantom Trooper." Under the Valentine Worth cognomen he even retooled his "I Killed Hitler" story as "I Killed Mussolini."

 

 

 

"Unfortunately Eerie Tales was too little and too late. With the end of World War II Canada's embargo on foreign magazines was lifted and hundreds of vibrant, exciting pulp titles began flooding on to newsstands just as they had in the pre-war glory days. The undernourished and unexciting CanPulps quietly faded away, leaving little impression at all. Canada's only pulp era had been created by the war. Like the war, it soon passed into history."

Wow! Classic cover indeed. IIRC Steranko pretty much ripped this off for one of his Shadow paperback covers.
