I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours! 23 23

Been a good few weeks for me pulp-wise, assuming everything I won shows up.

 

Here's a start:

 

 

Oddly enough, that may be the best known pulp cover art these days... even if most people probably don't know where it originally came from!

[Scrooge]

Why is it well known?

Why is it well known?

 

The art shows up on a poster in The Big Bang Theory; so a lot of people would recognize the image even if they don't know the source.

Thanks. Not a show I watch.

I've also gotten a couple small batches of pre-war Astoundings; this isn't all the covers but it's some highlights:

 

Part 1 of "Gray Lensman:", the cover is the only place they use the Grey spelling:

 

 

This one was mislabeled, but I'm OK with it: It's actually the British edition. Still want to get the US version, but it's an interesting point of comparison:

 

 

Just a striking cover image, the issue has part 1 of "Slan"

 

 

Part 2 of "Slan", but the best known story in this issue is "Farewell to the Master". If that doesn't sound familiar, they renamed it "The Day the Earth Stood Still" when they made it a movie.

 

 

And Heinlein reaches the point where he's writing so much he needs to start using a second name, in just 10 months he has 8 standalone stories, 2 3-part serials, and 3 names:

Fight Stories, Sep 1930

 

I finally added a RE Howard Steve Costigan story to my collection!

 

And a cool Max Schmeling cover to boot!

 

[RedFury]

Three nice Magic Carpets. I can't stop buying these. Brundage covers, including my favorite, the one with the crystal ball, and the first Red Sonya.

 

 

 

[RedFury]

The Octopus and The Scorpion. Theses two one-shots go together. They were published back to back, part of the same series.

I've been trying to work on Oriental Stories for years, and I was only able to get half of the issues in low grade. And then this happens! Super excited about this!

 

[RedFury]

This nice copy of Secret 6 #2 completes the 4 issue run for me.

 

[RedFury]

Spy Novels #1 from 1935

 

[RedFury]

Thrilling Mystery #1 from 1935. Hot poker, anyone?

 

[Scrooge]

That's a metric ton of classic books. Congrats :hail:

Wow, talk about a nice Oriental Stories / Magic Carpet run in one fell swoop! Color me jealous! Stunners, all of them!

Ditto the Fight Stories. These are tough as hell, and even more so in high grade.

Thanks Jack. It's a little outside of my wheelhouse, but when a cool book like that comes along you expand your wheelhouse, right?

My wheelhouse is out of control
