Hello,

 

I picked up a number of sharp pulps at the "Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention" this past weekend in Chicago.

 

The "Secret Agent X" is very early, the 5th issue (June 1934), and is considered a Classic cover! It is from the Strasser pedegree collection. Robert Strasser not only put the code in the first letter of the title on the cover, but in 1934 only, he also wrote his name neatlly on the cover.

The "Thrilling Mystery" is one of the violent/shocking covers in the run, is in File Copy condition with white paper, and has a (REH) Robert E Howard story in it to boot. Again, it is a very early issue from June 1936 (#8). It is considered a Classic cover as well, and many consider it one of the best, if not the best cover in the run.

That's sad. Howard died on June 11, 1936.
