This is a trio of artists better known in these parts for their drop-dead classic pulp covers: Rudolph Belarski, John Newton Howitt, and Hugh (HJ) Ward.

@PopKulture I too have a few magazines from the late teens and twenties.  Fantastic covers, but mostly I find my favorite artwork on the insides.

Here's a Shrine Magazine bound volume (you could send away your individual copies to be bound with the special binding seen here):

It has kept all the issue nice and fresh these last 100 years.

I love the insides as well, but it’s hard to beat those Benda covers!

I'm a Benda fan, but I like Mucha more!

Who doesn’t? Unquestionably the master, rivaled only by Parrish, who produced much more work. His covers have been elusive for decades - almost impossible in the wild unless you get extremely lucky. I have a nice Burr-McIntosh by Mucha somewhere nearby (meaning I’ve seen it in the past few months.

Seems to be a more "common" cover of his.  I'll have to photograph more of my magazines in order to share here!

This was a fond non-comic purchase. This was Halloween 1964 (notice I am holding the Aurora Godzilla and King Kong models). I wanted to find that costume again and I wound up buying the two below. I think the costume I wore was the 1st version (the one on the left). It was pretty scary with the bloody fangs. There may have been parent complaints because it was too violent which lead to the more toned down version to the right. I suppose we'll never know for certain what happened here.

Great photo of yourself! I remember those costumes so well. Sadly, I don’t have any pictures of me wearing them.

I have a good collection of similar photos. I find them once in a while at flea markets, estate sales ect. Any with kids and their comics, toys and yes old Halloween photos. Unusual and usually one of a kind. My favorite is my dad and uncle with their late 1920’s pedal car.
