Heritage has auctioned two issues back in '06 and one in '09. Neither were these two issues. I don't have my Bookery's Guide handy but the HA referenced one of the ones they auctioned to be scare and the rare according to Bookerys. I probably shouldn't have posted these in a comics thread. I hadn't seen them before either and I really don't collect western comics nor pulps but thought they were interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found a few over the years mixed in with movie magazines from the same era. They do fall more under the pulp umbrella, and coincidentally, both the long-running Argosy and Detective Fiction Weekly ran in that same format during the war and under that same Red Star imprint. They turn up on the Bay and often sneak under the radar. I think they're great pieces of Western Americana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the simple use of a hat and rope hanging on the wall to fix depth and perspective. This showcases the economy Marsh was able to use to make his art work. I love this sort of analysis!
