Do you especially like the cover or is there something else special inside the book?

I especially like the cover and it contains an installment of the Park Avenue Hunt Club, a series in DFW of stories of a trio of private citizens fighting against the Liberty Crusaders, a fifth column element in the US beneficent on the surface but really working to usurp powers. Their troops are particularly ruthless. I jumped on this next pulp with both a Bulldog Drummond story and an installment of the Park Avenue Hunt Club - Very solid copy too -

This Black Book Detective showcases The Red Menace in May 1941 at a time, Russia was our ally and taking a hell of a beating on the Eastern front, yet communism fear is still rampant in the US -

I remember seeing that cover somewhere as a kid. Is it famous? Hard to find? How much does a nice copy go for?

There is another cover very similar to that one with the spikes coming from the bottom left that was published a few months later in the series and that might be the one you remember.

 

Guide on the Spider issue shown above - Feb. 1938 - is $60 in Good, $150 in VG and $300 in Fine. Again pulps are cheap compared to comics.

They weren't the ally of the US until after Dec 7th, 1941 and Germany didn't invade them until June 22, 1941 in a move that was surprise. Prior to that, Russia had partitioned Poland with Germany, murdering 5000 Polish officers in the Katyn Forest among other crimes, and taken over the Baltic States and invaded Finland.

Thanks Adam. I realized how I fubbed later today while I was reading the US indictment against the forces in France that allowed the country to fall so fast to the German in that other pulp I showed above. Here's the opening page -

Here's one of the last three Shadow books, a little tougher to find. Picked up at the Windy City Pulp Con.

Ah ha!!! so that was you who had it listed in their profile. I remembered reading that, but couldn't remember who it was.

 

 

Are you seriously looking for a copy?

 

 

YES!

Here are scans of my entire collection of Wildcat magazines:

 

 

 

The women are flabby and out of shape by modern standards but the cover concepts are great!

They look good to me.

 

The covers as well.

Starting to get into the Shadow, so here are three newbie questions.

What was his first pulp appearance?

What price does it go for in vg to fine condtion?

Overall how many copies of the first pulp with the Shadow still exist?

thanks for the info in advance.

[Scrooge]

1) The Shadow # 1 :shrug: It's The Shadow Magazine from April 1st, 1931.

 

2) Not sure but $5,000 will get you somewhere

 

3) Ask Detective35DF or whatever Dwight's handle is.
