A few digests in today.  The Infinity has Harlan Ellison's first story in national magazines.  He had one story adapted by EC earlier, and a few locally published pieces, and some fanzine work; but this is generally the book people point to as where he really got started.  The first of the Super Science Fictions has a never reprinted Ellison story, the Weird Monster Issue is the last issue of the title.  I fear I must respectfully disagree with Bookery on Super Science Fiction being a common digest, I've found it to be surprisingly hard to find some of the issues as I look to fill in the uncollected Ellison SF stories.

In today.  Clark Ashton Smith cover story and a Lovecraft revision:

Captain Future 1944

Only Spring and Winter this year

 

Among all these the Yakima copies are Spring, Summer & Fall 1941, Fall 1942, Spring & Winter 1943 and Spring 1944. For the most part the non pedigree copies are even nicer with bone white pages. A beautiful run of books.

 

Priceless..amazing set, thank you and CONG

Picked up this un-trimmed Clayton from last weekend’s VCC, I sure am a fan of Wesso’s covers (I like his sci-fi work best).

Congrats, Steve!  Strange Tales is hands down my favorite short run pulp.  Seven issues of pure quality, a true rival to Weird Tales.  Such a shame it didn't last.

Red Nails by RE Howard in this one.... I like the J Allen St. John cover, although he doesn't get the props he deserves IMHO … GOD BLESS....

I’m red with envy! Red Nails ❤️
I would also love to have a nice St. John cover like that. I like Brundage, but I think I might prefer J Allen.

I'm a neophyte in the Pulp arena but I seem to recall several decent St John covers on Burroughs Pulps. All I know about Pulps is that if it has a cool cover and stories by favorite authors (Howard, Lovecraft, Burroughs, Bradbury....) a seller may be able to reel me in. GOD BLESS...

I think St. John gets plenty of props, but more on his ERB covers than his Weird Tales work.  Very nice pickup, by the way... been looking for that one for a while to finish my Red Nails run.

I think this is the only St. John cover I have on Weird Tales:

These in the mail today. Two of my favorite bizarre Howitt Spider creations.

" The Shambler From The Stars" … Robert Bloch

He was warned about that vile and forbidden tome, "Mysteries of the Worm"

Planet 65 has priced itself out of my reach …. this, however, has not. GOD BLESS....

I'm thinking about snagging a copy of the 2020 Pulp Guide … I'm liking these artifacts from yesteryear …. GOD BLESS...

The John D. McDonald story in that issue is one of my absolute favorites.  A beautiful copy!

I'm kind of new to these, but I like the fact that a 500 dollar purchase can pack a lot of punch with value for your money …. what it would take 5000 to achieve with comics. I'm not a high income fellow so I find that refreshing. It kind of reminds me of comics in the early 90's, not necessarily cheap, but you could still make discretionary purchases without having to justify the expense as much.... GOD BLESS....
