Boardie @Bookery has written a price guide for pulps. I don’t know if it has images. 

No images in the Bookery Guide apart from 10 pages of 9 images each in the middle of the book.

The Adventure House Checklist by Ellis, Locke and Gunnison has sample images at the top of the page, OSPG-style but the format is small.

The easiest resource to use is Galactic Central - Fiction Mags; here for pulps http://philsp.com/lists/p_magazines.html

and specifically here for Jungle Stories - http://philsp.com/mags/jungle_stories.html

Time permitting, I'll take a stab at a pulp - comic covers concordance. I don't recall seeing one. The article in CBM, # 57 IIRC, on FH pulps shows some of these covers but no checklist. This should be a small fun project.

Awesome! And if you want to tackle the Fox Comics pulp cover swipes some other snowy weekend :D there are a ton of those too. Virtually every character on the 1940-1941 Joe Simon covers seems to have a pulp cover source somewhere (sorry Joe).

I'll second this.  Phil Stephenson-Payne's site (Galactic Central) is the single greatest pulp reference ever assembled.  Contents lists and images of thousands of pulps, digests, and early girly magazines.  In regards to my own far humbler reference guide, after 14 years I am finally nearing completion of the 3rd (and likely final) edition of the Bookery pulp guide.  The question is this time... are there any reference publishers left to produce it?  Many of the old companies that specialized in this sort of thing are long out of business.  I'm not keen to self-publish again, even though there's more money to be had in doing so... but profits, if any, on reference books are minimal at best, and I don't look forward to packing up and mailing out 1,000 volumes as I did in the past.  So we'll see... if all else fails, I may simply upload it to the internet in some manner, though I'm old-fashioned and prefer a book format personally.

I'd contribute some $$ to seeing that guide of yours in good old-fashioned book form...

What do you do with a good idea? FH recycles it.

From Jumbo 33 in 11/1941, … which btw looks like it might itself have been swiped elsewhere,

we get to Jungle Stories - Spring 1946 -

jungle_stories_1946spr.jpg.de952885255285858f10be1437ce766c.jpg

which promptly gets a switched version for Jungle 81 in 9/1946 so not quite 6 months later -

and finally back to Jumbo in its earliest form not only with # 121 in 3/1949 -

but yet again in Jumbo 159 in 5/1952 -
