FS: 1930s/40s GA pulps!

[Point Five]

Welcome to another pulp sale thread! I'm still trying to raise funds towards that mythic Tec #35 I may someday own , and am reluctantly putting some more of my pulp collection on the chopping block. I think there's some neat stuff coming up, and I've certainly tried to keep prices reasonable. Hope you see something you like!

 

I'm also going to kick things off with a discount:

Buy 2 or more books and take 10% off all listed prices!

 

Shipping is extra. Thanks for looking! (thumbs u

The Mysterious Wu Fang, March 1936 in Good/Good-. Classic, classic bondage/torture/"oriental menace" cover... this one has it all, with equally lurid stories inside. One of the coolest pulp titles to come out of the 1930s, and this is the best cover of its short run. Attractive lower-grade copy, but book has trimming on the right edge & the cover overhangs, and the inside covers have unnecessary tape reinforcement along the edges. Other than that, solid with supple pages and a wild read. I hate to offer this issue for sale & promise you you won't find one cheaper, if you can find one at all.

You will get a lot more action with Brundages and Ward books.

G-Men, April 1939 in Good+. Neat detective pulp, which would have been on the stands right around the same time as Detective #27(!). There's pencil tracing on the cover, and a heavy spine dent. Pretty cover colors.

Marvel Science Stories, Nov 1938. Amazingly fresh, pretty copy of this classic Red Circle (pre-Timely) pulp!... with a near-nude GGA/bondage cover by Frank Paul. Bold, glossy cover colors and crisp, colorful spine; pages are white (!) with the barest tinge of yellowing, and the spine lettering is blood red (link). The only flaw of note is a piece torn off the ULC of the back cover (see link below); other than that, condition is pushing Fine. Very sharp copy for a 1938 pulp... VERY tough to find this nice.

 

$105 SOLD

Startling Stories, May 1949 in GVG. GGA cover by Earle Bergey, with very rich colors. Discreet spine splits at top & bottom (1", 2") and a few minor tears (note: the scan is greatly exaggerating the overhang rumples along top edge). Colorful spine. Sweet book.
