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

Some sweet shudder pulps for sure!

 

Not familiar with Pulpfest and it's in the town I grew up in and started on my birthday this year! Alas, current fortunes leave my collecting budget extremely thin these days, but one of these summers I should try and time my occasional summer trip to see family to Pulpfest.

This is my only pulp so far. If you guys know of any with underwater covers I'd love to get them on my want list. I'll probably spend some time backtracking through this thread today.

You have been very busy scooping up some cool pulps these days Todd

Detective35DF saw I had a pulp in hand and couldn't stand it wasn't one of his.

 

Finally Dwight put me into this fine pulp:

 

 

 

So now I have two pulps, yeah!

 

I then ended up eyeballing a couple of paperbacks so I picked them up:

 

 

 

 

Great pickups David and great trip report!

 

I really need to try and make it to one of the pulp cons next year.

Nice pickups!

 

I had a brief but interesting email exchange with Kirk Mashburn's granddaughter a few months back. She has the original cover art for that issue.

My favorite The Spider story. Every Spider storyline is bloody and unbelievable, but this one is among the very best.

 

 

My favorite Shadow cover.

Just picked these Rare Shadow Items from the 1930's and 1940's.

I finally acquired a number of these after waiting for years for them to come out of private collections.

 

1) NM- Shadow Board game (nicest one known to exist) - (circa. 1940)

 

 

 

 

 

2) NM "Shadow Hat and Cape" (circa. 1940) w. only known example of

original box in existence!

**One other known example of the cape exists, only known example of

the original box).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) Large 1932 Shadow Trolley Sign - 17" x 34" (Blue Coal sponsor)

(1 other example known to exist)

 

 

 

4) Only known example of the "Shadow Stationery" in Original Cellophane,

along with Shadow back cover image from a rare 1936 issue

of the "American News Trade Journal" magazine (killer back cover

Shadow image).

 

 

 

 

5) Shadow - Blue Coal - 11 x 18 - Cardboard Sign - (circa. 1941).

Only known example!

 

 

 

 

6) Just picked up this cool large original Shadow Newspaper Ad with a

great Shadow image. It was from the "Philadelphia Record newspaper"

- Monday June 17, 1940.

It reads: "Announcing the start of a new comic strip, featuring the Shadow".

The Ad measures: 8 1/2" x 15"

(much larger than the usual 1" x 2" newspaper ads).

 

***What is neat is that is has the SAME IMAGE that is on the following

items that I have in my personal collection:

 

1) The Box of the "Shadow Official Hat & Cape that I just posted above,

2) A 1938 Shadow pulp cover (The Voice),

3) A 1938-39 - 11" x 14" Cardbaord sign (sponsored by Goodrich Silvertown Tires...only known example to exist).

 

I have attached:

 

a) an image of the original newspaper ad on a black background for contrast.

 

 

 

c) A collage of Rare items in my collection with the same image.
