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

In 1933, Weird Tales had a string of covers with no texts whatsoever. These are really nice, imo.

Picked this up from Comics-n-ERB in the summer but never scanned. Dated December 1939, the cover was cribbed for a comic book cover. A No-Prize for the first poster to tell us which one -

You have a beauty there, Steve.

 

That cover is one of my all time favorites.

 

I always thought Alonzo Vincent's work on the strip Calling 2-R was very appealing. I liked it a lot.

 

Not the best examples, but all I have handy.

So, who gets the No-Prize, BZ or Sacentaur?

 

At any rate, the covers aren't as close as I thought they were but enough that there has to be some echoing going on.

 

I wonder where the Paul original is. Science Fiction at that time period was sending FOR FREE the cover to the writer who wrote the best letter about that month's issue. This cover was being offered for the lucky winner!!

 

On another contest, First Prize to Fourth Prize won $$ (Sam Moskowitz himself won $15 placing second or third). Fifth & Sixth place each got an original Paul painting. Betcha they didn't complain not finishing higher up. One painting went to Illinois and IIRC the other stayed on the East Coast.

Robert Lesser is the current owner of the painting.

Paul's work was available for a pretty cheap price back in the day. I wonder where all of those recreations are?

I have not really delved into the pulp collecting arena but I could not turn these copies down given the relationship to my work. From what I have been told they are quite rare. Does anyone know?

 

[Scrooge]

Mark,

 

according to the Bookery Guide (come on, Tim, can't you answer the man directly ) -

 

Federal Agent (Dell) is listed as Uncommon and the last 4 issues are scarcer than first 4 [Last four are May through November 1937] You show 2 of the scarcer ones.

 

Feds, The (S & S) is listed as Uncommon to Scarce

 

and Thrilling Spy Stories (Standard) are Somewhat Common (which I would have guessed being later books).

[Scrooge]

Meanwhile, some one requested by PM that I scan my issues of The Park Avenue Hunt Club from DFW. I might as well show them here as well all in one place.

 

These issues range from 1938 to 1940.

 

[Scrooge]

The last two I own -

Great group of pulps, Mark.

 

Did you know that Public Enemy was the original title of the Federal Agent series?

 

 

(March and May 1936 issues)

 

In what seems to me to be a strange bit of marketing, the publisher reused the cover paintings of two Public Enemy (pictured above) exactly one year later on the March and May 1937 Federal Agent issues you own.

I like the covers.

 

I don't believe I've ever read a Judson Philips story. Do you recommend his work?

[BangZoom]

I've never seen one.

 

I wonder if they followed through and actually produced them?

I believe I the answer is "no" to this question, but I thought I'd ask anyway:

 

Was there a pulp that had a cover referencing the Hindenburg disaster explicitly? I know there were a number of zeppelin-covered books, but I don't think I've seen one with a Hindenburg or Hindenburg disaster cover.

 

 

[BangZoom]

 

The Hindenburg, pre-disaster.
