And easily my favorite of the batch that came today.

 

Ghost Stories March 1927

 

 

Here's another strange menace.

 

September 1930

 

Looking through the last couple of pages, it's fun to see the changes in women's hairstyles between the '20s and '30s. What better exponent for the changing perceptions of beauty than the pulp cover girl that had to fit next to the beast.

 

These covers clearly sold magazines back then. Makes me wonder which trends caused this old theme to fade away from the newsstands. Lost innocence, perhaps?

Ouch !! Romantic indeed (Scan from eBay - not my book) -

 

 

How is a punch to the girl's face romantic?

 

Romance must have been different back in the Old West.

Complete Detective #1, 1938

 

Norm Saunders classic greatness!

 

 

 

Uh oh ... Shiver caught "pulp fever".

 

Way to go on so many great purchases... the COMPLETE #1 is one of the favorite pulps in my collection. Don't have any DIME's yet, but your scans are very enticing!!

The MRI horror!

Just an amazing scan of this great pulp, BZ!! This one gets stored in my scan archives! I've been looking for a nice scan of this cover until I can get my own copy.

 

Always liked the giant-threatening-shrunken-people covers... your THRILLING really reminds me of this one...

My understanding is that Romantic Western and Romantic Detective ( was there a Romantic Adventure?) were reprinted Spicys including the cover art. What audience they were trying to reach isn't that clear.

I like the Thrillings a lot BZ, but don't have any yet. I tried to win this one on ebay last week, but my bid was not high enough.

I have got it pretty bad, but after what I spent on these & 3 brundages on the way, I will be after 1940's cheaper stuff for awhile. Luckily I like the 40's imagery a lot too!

 

I wondered if you had the Complete Detective, since I know you like the Red Circles.

[dekeuk]

As a pulp collector, I really like the #1 issues, or one shots... nice to have the first representative issue of a run, without buying the whole farm!

 

Heres a nice one shot... one of the rare "villain" pulps... the bad guy actually wears this goofy octopus costume on the interior too.

 

 

 

 

So should this qualify as the real first appearance of Doc Ock?

 

Ot at least a "prototype" issue for Doc Ock?

This is a later Schomburg cover but it shows his air brushing technique and his sarcastic sense of humor.

[shiverbones]

That is a pretty funny cover!

Amazing collection you got going there. Did most of those come from the Bronzilla collection?

If those were 1930's comics instead of pulps they would easily command $1000+ each for the lowest grade copy

 

The "classic covers" would be getting $5000+ each

 

And the highest graded copies of classic covers would be selling for $50,000
