Oversized pulps. They are bigger than standard comic books but smaller than large size Jumbo or Master. Early on some pulps were bedsheet size and then went to regular-size while some did the opposite going from regular size to bedsheet (like Detective Fiction Weekly and Adventure for a short while). Most early bedsheets are saddle-bound (?) (think Dell Giant) while later ones are stapled as they weren't as thick.

 

Here's another bedsheet example -

Here are one bedsheet size DFW and one regular size one -

I've seen that floating robot in the Buck Rogers strip before. I'll try and scan it if I remember.

Here's a groupshout with bedsheets in the back and regular size pulps in the front for scale.

How about that! I didn't know there was such a difference in size. (Beautiful books BTW!)

 

Funny that this thread would get bumped so much lately, as I've been flirting with pulps in a big way the last week or so. Now that I'm looking for Schomburg airbrush covers, it seems a short step to some of the cooler (yet reasonably affordable) sci-fi/GGA pulp covers.

With your collecting interests and tastes I'm surprise you haven't delved into pulps already.

I'm starting to think that collecting "gas mask" covers would be a pretty cool theme.

heh... I was thinking the same thing!

Very true. I guess I've tried to resist for a while, as I collect too many different GA niches already, and there's an impossible number of cool pulps out there.

 

Just dipping my toe in the water for now...we'll see.
