Today's pickup at a local store:

A few nice issues of Dare-Devil Aces from May through August 1936, including a few file copies, that I picked up a few years ago.

A rare bedsheet title  - Movie Thrillers 12/24, 1/25 and 5/25.  Condition is not great, but very hard to find in any condition.

A batch of Navy Stories & Submarine Stories I picked up a few years ago.

Another digest with a Bode cover in today:

I recently acquired 15 rejection slips from pulp publishers, which were collected by author O. Dennis in the late 1930's and early 1940's. He managed to get rejected by most of the pulp chains of the time - Street & Smith, Fiction House, Munsey, Popular Publications, the Red Circle group, Standard Magazines, Ziff-Davis, Columbia Publications and Ace Magazines.

 

But his submittal of manuscripts was not entirely in vain. The Fictionmags Index shows that he had seven stories published in the pulps between July 1942 and Spring 1945. Four appeared in Ten Detective Aces, while he had one each in The Phantom Detective, Thrilling Detective and Detective Book Magazine.

 

Here's four of the rejection slips.

If you're a fan of pulp artist P.J. Monahan, several Munsey pulps featuring his covers will be in the Saturday night auction (May 7, 2022), at this year's Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (May 6-8, 2022 at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, Illinois).

 

Here's one of 'em - The All-Story February 1914. In addition to the cover novel, by Rex Stout, the issue features the third part of Edgar Rice Burroughs' third John Carter novel, "The Warlord of Mars", which was serialized in four installments.

I almost posted this in the "Do Spiders Give You The Creeps?" Thread. I'm sure this poor gal, if she made it through the torture, is definitely scared of spiders.

Not sure if these belong here or on the Magazine thread so might post in both. I don't collect them but I guess now I do  mostly because I couldn't resist the Devil cover on Gay Parisienne and the lot was in my ballpark to win so now I have a type set started I guess. Some nice Bolles covers and the Pep looks like it is signed "Bergey" but it it is a different signature than his later sci fi that I am used to?

Great books. If you have a type now, you'll love this Sunday's auction. A ton of beauties to be had.

Our interesting find at the flea market today was eight issues of three different Canadian pulp titles, written in French, published in Montreal. There were four issues of "Les exploits fantastiques de Monsieur Mystère l'incroyable gigolo", and two issues each of "Les Exploits Policiers du Domino Noir" and "Les Aventures Etranges de L'Agent IXE-13, L'As des Espions Canadiens".

The issues I picked up date from the mid-1960's, but each of these titles had long runs -- over 15 years and 318 issues for the first title and over 20 years and over 950 issues for each of the other two.

Jess Nevins "Encyclopedia of Pulp Heroes" has info on each of these titles, which I drew upon for the following descriptions of each title.

Monsieur Mystere is a Canadian scientist, inventor and adventurer, and many of his tales are SF, as demonstrated by these couple of covers.

"Les Exploits Policiers du Domino Noir" features the exploits of the pulp hero Black Mask (in real life Alain de Guise of Quebec), who dons a black domino mask as he fights crime.

And "Les Aventures Etranges de L'Agent IXE-13, L'As des Espions Canadiens" features an agent in the Canadian Secret Service, code named IXE-13. Perhaps not surprisingly, apparently in the 1960's he becomes more like James Bond (though since his adventures began in 1940, he predates Bond by quite a bit).

I'll show four of 'em here.

Fun flea market morning. Seven full boxes of vintage pulps. Cheap. I only bought about half of them. Hard to find “in the wild” anymore…
