Rapid-Fire Detective Stories (April 1933)

 

Great selection of books, bangzoon! This one would definitely gotten a dime out of my pocket.

 

Wow, this one is intense!

Anyone have the first Cthulu "The Call of Cthulhu" published in a 1928 Weird Tales?

[bronzilla]

I used to. Sadly no longer.

Here is what it looks like. (Not my former copy)

What's the general price range on that pulp? I might look to pick one up.

[bronzilla]

Its pretty pricey as I remember. I bought mine in with a collection of pulps a few years ago. I would email Dave at acidgothic he might have a copy.

Or you could just by the facsimle from Girrasol

 

PM me if you need Daves email

Wow, I've always wondered what that issue looked like.

 

I guess the editor decided that a dining-room table turning into a cat made for a better cover than a giant, octopus-headed monster rising up out of the ocean while the crew of a tiny fishing boat flee in terror...

 

Poor HPL. Only two pulp covers in his lifetime.

 

I just recently read somewhere that he used to tear off every single Brundage cover because they offended his delicate sensibilities.

 

Ever see the silent movie poster (circa 2005, I think)?

Nope! Mine was never that nice!!

600.00 would be low side Im guessing for one that nice!! (thumbs u

[ft88]

Low side indeed, probably need to add a zero that number. The copy BZ has is so nice it actually looks trimmed in the tri-pic and clearly it is not when looking at the scan.

This issue has "The Call of Cthulhu", correct? Amazing condition!

[bronzilla]

Has anyone here ever bought one of these paintings or comissioned them do a painting of choice based on a pulp or GA comic cover?

This guys art looks amazing and the price which includes frame seems very reasonable.
