Hello,

 

Here are some pics of the original oil painting from "G-8 and his Battle Aces #1" from 1933, that I just won at the Heritage Illustration Auction.

 

I really like the cover because it is dark and mysterious & eerie like the early Detective (Batman - pre Robin) & Shadow pulp covers, and the fact that it is extremely early from 1933, and is the cover of a first issue (#1) of a good pulp run .

 

The painting is a large one ("24 x 36").

Dwight, very happy this went into your collection. That painting was discussed a few months back on Pulp Mags as it was once owned by Sid Bradd who died this past June. Sid was a premiere G-8 and air pulp Fan as you can attest from this remembrance on the Age of Aces website.

Painfully selling these gems from my collection, because of recent purchases, check "Gold/Silver/Bronze" selling Forum.

 

 

Just thought I would put a couple of pulps from my collection.

 

One is a classic cover and the "one page Human Torch AD for Marvel Mystery Comics.

 

The copy is from the Frank Robinson collection. I have owned a file copy and this one blows it away. The only issue that I have ever seen that is slightly better (without the bottom overhang tear is the Yakima).

This is one of the all-time classic pulp covers. The artist Graves Gladney said that he did not know what to image to paint on the cover, and he glanced over in his office and saw his large paper cutter.

 

This copy is also from Frank Robinson's collection, but not the one auctioned off in his auction. This was his original copy which was higher grade and I traded him a copy in slightly less condition plus cash.

Okay, it's time for a cheap plug. This was just released this week. The first chapter in this collection is my article on Howard's use of history, anthropology, and geology in creating the Hyborian Age.

Conan Meets the Academy

Multidisciplinary Essays on the Enduring Barbarian

 

Edited by Jonas Prida

About the Book

In 1932, Robert E. Howard penned a series of fantasy stories featuring Conan, a hulking Cimmerian warrior who roamed the mythical Hyborian Age landscape engaging in heroic adventures. More than the quirky manifestation of Depression-era magazines, Conan the Barbarian has endured as a cultural mainstay for over 70 years. This multidisciplinary collection offers the first scholarly investigation of Conan, from Howard’s early stories, through mid-century novels and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic films, to the 2011 cinematic remake of Conan the Barbarian. Drawing on disciplines such as stylometry, archeology, cultural studies, folklore studies, and literary history, the essays examine statistical analyses of Conan texts, the literary genesis of Conan, later-day parodies, Conan video games, and much more. By displaying the wide range of academic interest in Conan, this volume reveals the hidden scholarly depth of this seemingly unsophisticated fictional character.
