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

I was scanning a few Lariat Story Magazine covers this morning for a friend.  Thought I'd post this one, since it's so nice (and we own the painting).  December 1926, cover by George H. Wert.

Exciting new acquisition entitled "Marijuana Murder. Extremely rare digest size pulp published by Superior publications in Toronto circa 1945 during the war exchange conservation act when comics and pops redeem to be nonessential items and banned from being published in Canada

Couple new arrivals. The Clues Feb. of 36 is a tough one, ive wanted for a while, and the 10 Story is a Saunders that is just so... Saundersy...? Anyway, I love em both. Enjoy.

Just acquired Access to Axis, which is an extremely rare satirical comic with Hitler, Stalin, et al published circa 1943. Illustrations by Jack Boothe and makes an excellent companion to my copy of Heeling Hitler.

Great find of a tough drug digest! You should post it in the paperback thread too since it's really a book and would be a welcome addition there!

Might as well add another... starting to crave Ward Westerns more and more.

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…

Great haul even just half of those👍‼️👏🥰

As far as covers go this is up there with Action #1   great cover never even heard or seen before

I have not bought a pulp in quite a spell. Found this copy of Astounding Stories (July 38) in a local bookstore today. It's my oldest pulp and probably in the best shape of them all.

"Almost" agree !  Not quite Action #1 but this cover is very famous to vintage paperback collectors  A rare Canadian drug imprint

Speaking of the equivalent of Action #1 in pulps, it would be interesting to hear from fellow collectors what they consider to be the grail of pulps or perhaps more likely the grail in their collection. Seems that the iconic early characters in pulps didn't carry forward with the kind of following that Superman instigated. The Shadow's first app was in the April 1931 issue of Shadow Magazine. For Doc Savage it was the March 1933 edition of Doc Savage Magazine. Third on my off the top of my head list is the Lone Ranger. His first app predictably enough was in Lone Ranger #1 (April 1937). 

Not my copy.

My personal acquired grail.  To this day I can't quite believe I actually own a copy.

I've been known to suggest this is more the Amazing Fantasy #15 of pulps rather than the Action #1... it's quite a bit more common compared to most of the major pulps, but still super high demand.

Great looking copy of Amazing stories.   I checked the isfdb site and could not locate this issue. What was the year of publication?

I checked to see about the availability of this issue and was astounded to see the price of this book. Found one on the Abe site for $3,250. There is also one for sale on Ebay, where the seller is asking even more.

For those looking to acquire complete sets of the classic SF pulps, Famous Fantastic Mysteries and Fantastic Novels, in one fell swoop, look no further than the Saturday night (May 7, 2022) auction at this year's Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (May 6-8, 2022 at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center).  Lot 128.1 will be a complete set of all 81 issues of FFM, while Lot 128.2 will be a complete set of all 25 issues of Fantastic Novels.

You got in the elevator door just before someone hit the button 👍

Since I started a type set of these Girlie pin up mags I had to have some Film Fun and these covers struck a chord as being pretty classic
