The first 9 issues of Fantastic Adventures were bed-sheet sized and had great front and back covers. Here's 7 of them. :)

Thanks for posting all those great covers, Todd. :applause:

 

My choice for favorite cover is, just like you, the May 1940 issue. My 2nd favorite is probably this one.

Fantastic Adventures merged into the digest-sized Fantastic in 1953, and the title ran through 1980. Really an impressive run. Today, by the way, is b-day for Oct 1950 (and many others) cover artist Robert Gibson Jones 1889-1969.

Popped into my head...I was wondering if anyone knows of a signed copy of a REH pulp?

 

I know he died in 1936 before eternal fame, but surely someone was eager enough to have him sign their Weird Tales???

 

His signature is well known from his masses of correspondence right?
