Astounding Stories, Feb 1936

 

First publication of "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft, with a great cover for the story. Not a rare pulp, but it took me a while to find a high grade copy.

Great book! Is this one of the few times that a pulp cover had a cover illustration that coincides with a Lovecraft story contained inside?

Lovecraft didn't get many cover story spots. The only other one I can think of is also in Astounding Stories for "The Shadow Out of Time" in the June 1936 issue. I can't think of any Lovecraft covers for Weird Tales, but maybe I'm just forgetting.

Thanks guys! I'm really pleased with it.

 

On a related note, today is the 76th anniversary of Lovecraft's death on March 15, 1937. :( R.I.P. Howard.

 

You mean R.I.P. Lovecraft. :gossip:

Pardon the shill... I'll gladly remove this post if someone objects. Since pulp people probably do not also frequent the Comic Art Marketplace forum, I have an original illustration by Fred Humiston there for sale. I might also be interested in an early Weird Tales or quality shudder / weird menace pulp cover in trade.

I picked up a collection a couple of weeks ago that will keep me entertained for a while- consisted of 500 pulps(mostly sci-fi but some other goodies), 700+ pulp fanzines/reprints & related, 800+ paperbacks, some misc HCs and other fun stuff. There were a small amount of 1950s mostly crime comics as well(already posted here on the boards).

 

Just wanted to share a couple of pics, let me know if you want to swing by and pull up a chair for some reading!

 

Pile o' fanzines. Incomplete runs of Pulp Collector 1-up, Pulp Vault 1-up, Echoes 1-up, Xenophile, Golden Perils and many more dating back to 1965.

Haven't had one of these for a bit, love the cover

I have an accumulation of romance pulps that I've posted pics of before, and when the seller found out I was a fan of the genre he dug out a letter from romance pulp editor Daisy Bacon and gave it to me- it was quite an unexpected treat! Letter is pictured with book about her.

Among the misc items were some other mags, including this nice decapitation cover

No Amras, I think I saw a Howard Review but no Howard Collectors. There is still more for me to sort!

 

 

 

 

 

Cool let me know what you find.

 

There is all sorts of RE Howard material in the fanzines, and these are some specific publications:

The Howard review is the 2nd edition of #1, the Two Against Tyre is the numbered(80/600) edition
