Dwight that's awesome!

[Theagenes]

That's such a cool painting. It immediately brings to mind a number of Dali's optical illusion works.

 

 

[Forbush-Man]

Fantastic piece to have, Dwight. Congratulations!

Amazing piece!!!!!!

Continuing my REH pulp collecting. I picked a couple of Famous Fantastic Mysteries from the early 50's. These are some of the last true pulps, as every one was starting to make the switch to the digest format. Both reprint REH novella that originally appeared in Weird Tales, only this time they're accompanied by cool Finlay illustrations.

 

 

Love this Skull-Face cover:

Great pulps Jeff

This thread needs a bump!

 

So I've been seeing these Fritz Gurney oil-on-canvas reproduction of famous pulp covers on ebay for sometime now. I think David picked up a tarzan one and posted it earlier in this thread. Anyway, I finally decided to break down and get one - one of the Brundage Conan covers, naturally. Now if only I can convince my wife to let me hang it up.

Hi Ryan,

 

Here are some pictures of it in the frame.

That is stunning, Dwight!

[Scrooge]

Here's a recent pick-up I finally scanned.

 

It's a pulpish mag, in that it's in mag format but the contents are pure pulp. The book is edited by Don Wollheim and was short-lived: 4 issues in '41 - '42. The format is the first half is science-fiction, the second half is fantasy fiction. Wollheim did so much later throughout his career as an editor to promote fantasy that it's interesting to see him head this project. The first issue reprinted some REH verses. This is the last issue. The entire series is uncommon. Cover and plenty of interior illos by Bok -

 

[Theagenes]

Man, those are great.

[Pat Calhoun]

re: Stirring Science - both of the main-blurb authors, S.D. Gottesman & Cecil Corwin are pseudos for the great C. M. Kornbluth. Bok is the real deal and his novel- from 1942 Unknown- is colorful S&S (cover by Ray Cruz)

 

[Theagenes]

I didn't realize Bok wrote fiction as well. I was fortunate to get to see the original painting for Skull-Face & Others at an exhibit last year - very cool.

 

 

[Scrooge]

Yes, he did and I almost forgot. Check this issue of Future. Bok cover and he is listed as an author as well on the cover -

In the intro to Del Rey's Bran Mak Morn, The last King, the writer says that "...what most fans regard as Howard's finest story of Bran Mak Morn and the Picts (and one of his very best, period), the tale of which Lovecraft wrote, 'Few readers will ever forget the hideous and compelling power of that macabre masterpiece, Worms of the Earth.'"

 

Definitely one of Howard's best!

If I had to choose one story to appear in something like a Norton anthology or Library of America collection; something that would best represent Howard and the themes that he most cherished - this would be the story. You can definately make the case that this is his finest work.
