I don't have the issues yet, but I might be adding some more pulps to my list. I can't imagine Flanagan being brought in half-way through a multi-part story. I have confirmed parts 3 and 4 of a 6 part story. Parts 5 and 6 are on my list, but parts 1 and 2 are not. Weird. Many thanks to @RedFury for helping me verify that part 1 and 2 are Flanagan! 2 more pulps on the list!! RedFury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular issue of Blue Book is high on my list of Flanagan issues because there are TWO stories illustrated by him. Only a handful of publications see more than a few illustrations, but after the depression he really had to step up his game. I believe the only pulps that have more are the Wu Fangs.

Apparently this is a lithograph (which I wish I owned). Has anyone discovered the source for this? It looks like it comes from a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that posted it was trying to sell it (in an old archived web-page). His description was that it was a large lithograph (I may have imagined it being 11 x 17). It looks like 1930's to me, maybe early 40's. If it is out of a book, I assume the book would be larger (at least 9 x 12). Flanagan did some more paintings for a small publication promoting cave tourism which was printed in a somewhat larger format. I'll dig my copy out and make some scans.

I am curious as to why you think this might be from a book? Perhaps it is from one of his many gallery shows. He advertised regularly for exhibits of his art, and it might have made sense to make a small set of prints to sell at one of those exhibits for the fans that could not afford an original.

After putting the figures onto one sheet, it struck me that maybe the vegetation is easier to see the similarities. Maybe I'll do that next. Trying to edit the color out of the comic covers he did in order to see the line work is really difficult! @Yorick asked me to look up some Flanagan illustrations in Adventure and one showcases the same "model" as above, in one of the March 1935 issues of the pulp - [and, yes, the content of the story is as relevant in 2021 as it was in 1935 ...] Edited August 23, 2021 by Scrooge Sarg, Yorick, adamstrange and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the full page of a 1953 article which lists authors (about mid-way down on the left column), some of which I have still not found.

Yorick Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hello Flanagan Fans! Today I am potentially adding another JRF to my list. I just purchased a copy (so it won't arrive for a few days), but there is at least another copy on feebay to look at pictures until I am able to fully verify (it's 99%): The Heart of Pinocchio. Published in 1919 as an illustrated book. This is early JRF linework, so not as elegant as what we see in his comic covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One just popped up as a buy-it-now on feebay. I bought it. It was listed as "The Pool" and printed as a limited edition art print of 250. There is no date, but the numbered certificate makes mention of his work on Fu Manchu so it is definitely after 1935. It is indeed large (around 11 x 17), and was created in watercolor.

Although there are lots of illustrations within, they are fairly simple and I would not recommend paying too much for this book.

Yorick Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 @Sarg I was able to find the original printing of "the pool" (not the original title). 1925! I guess I have a lot more to learn before estimating creation dates... The color print is a MODERN printing on photo paper. Maybe the owner of the original is making these (within the last ten years)? As a modern print, I feel that it could have been done better, but it's certainly a step up from the 1925 black and white. I also made another mistake; the print edition is listed as 200 total, not 250. Sarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 This advertisement threw me off track. I was sure there would be some Flanagan work in that Cosmopolitan issue (November 1922), but after leafing through EVERY PAGE I can confirm that there is none. Anyone know of work he created WITHIN Cosmo (not just ads FOR Cosmo)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
