The costumed hero, The Black Hood, started off in comics in 1940, but he also appeared in three issues of his own pulp (Black Hood Detective, retitled Hooded Detective after the first issue) from the Columbia pulp chain in 1941 and 1942.  In 1941 and 1942, the stories were reprinted in the Canadian pulp, Sure-Fire Detective, with the covers repainted based on the American covers.  Two of the three Canadian issues feature the Black Hood on the cover, which I'll post here.

The other Black Hood pulp story was reprinted in the December 1941 issue of the Canadian pulp, Sure-Fire Detective, though this time the Black Hood didn't nab the cover. The cover itself, by artist Harold Bennett, was a swipe of a cover by H.J. Ward, which had appeared two months earlier on the October 1941 issue of Spicy Mystery.

One of my purchases from the Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention earlier this year. It's the second issue of the scarce pulp title, Gun Molls, dated November 1930, with cover by Chris Schaare.

How you and a couple others I know, amassed as many as you have, in the condition that you've acquired them in... is extremely impressive.

I think I have about 40 high-grade spicy Mysteries

I just got lucky Josh,  I picked up a big collection a couple of years back.  But I did pay a lot of money for it at the time!

Man, I feel bad for the post office. Just delivered another recent pickup at 930pm on a Saturday. These delivery drivers better get paid some serious OT!!! Another copy of another book I just can't seem to stop buying.

Some recent pick-ups. I have played some of the same games since I was a kid with the earlier Overstreets of picking my favorites from each row or group of artifacts. Which book would you take from each row?

Would need to think on the first two rows, other than I've already got the Amazing.  Third row is easy:  The Clues with the Avenger short story.

It’s always tough to be objective when you already have one! Good choice on the Clues!

Having absolutely nothing to do with value or interior stories, I've always loved the Amazing Stories cover in the top row.
