Heros the Spartan, by the great Frank Bellamy - Al Williamson revered him, and what you may think is the typical Al Williamson space rocket is actually cribbed from Bellamy.

Bravo to it all, but this is my favourite. I wonder if this one is still in print? 

Edit: That's a no.

Bookpalace.com has two copies, and there is one currently listed on EbayUK 

It's OOP unfortunately, so be prepared for the nosebleed!

Ah, my old friend. 

[Flex Mentallo]

Among my favorite books is this five volume leather bound set produced by Girasol before they went bust.

Pulp Cover Gallery Vol. 1 - Weird Tales

[Flex Mentallo]

Pulp Cover Gallery Vol. 2 - Science Fiction

[Flex Mentallo]

I did not get enough of the facsimiles before they stopped publishing, so I was grateful to discover this set later quite by chance.

Pulp Cover Gallery Vol. 3 - Weird Menace

 

[Flex Mentallo]

I suspect they may have had more volumes planned - for example, the Spicy pulps are sadly missing.

Pulp Cover Gallery Vol. 4 - Science Fiction

[Flex Mentallo]

A pity too that all the covers are not full size - but one can't have everything!

Pulp Cover Gallery Vol. 5 - Hero

[Flex Mentallo]

I also have a fair few pulp artist monographs to share tomorrow.

[Flex Mentallo]

Illustrated Press monographs are excellent publications for anyone who loves the art of the pulps!

Other publishers...

New to the collection

New to the Collection:
Catwoman of East End Omnibus.

I use to own and read the books Paul Gulacy draw (Because I Love Gulacy Art)
and then I sold them 
but I knew a part of the puzzle was missing 
A HUGE PART: Darwyn Cooke .

And now the picture is complete.

This Omnibus collects
Detective Comics #759-762; Catwoman #1-37; Catwoman Secret Files #1; Catwoman: Selina's Big Score #1.

I love Gulacy too and was delighted when this popped up at my LCS.

Do you happen to know of any other collected editions of his work? (Apart from Star Wars Crimson Empire, which I have.)

Shang Chi Master of Kung Fu Omnibus Vol 1 and 2
Batman Prey Paperback 

[Flex Mentallo]

Thanks for posting those - I forgot about Prey, which I have in another edition. Somewher in long term storage [ie behind my bookcases] I have half a box of comics by him. I recall the Evil Nazi storyline from Valiant's Turok, and I thought The Thing from Another World was very good. Lots of great Batman issues, though Catwoman of East End must've happened after I stopped collecting them.

Overnight, I gave thought to what I have of Gulacy in collected editions [apart from these I also have the recent Terminator hc from Dark Horse]
