Popular Post Lost Posted April 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2022 I managed to snag the first Cthulhu story. I was introduced to him through South Park 10 years ago and then started reading about the mythos. Cover isn't very memorable, but this is a tough to find ish. Only took about 10 years to get it!

Big boy book. Greatest story in pulps. You're right about the cover, but I don't know of any novice or seasoned pulp collector that doesn't drool over the prospect of owning this book, me included.

Congratulations! I would actually say the cover is quite memorable... it's just that all the reasons it's memorable are bad ones! waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarg Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 On 7/28/2020 at 10:38 AM, RedFury said: Weird Tales, Sep 1928 Cover by C.C. Senf Senf's covers for Weird Tales are not generally well-regarded, then or now. Lovecraft wrote to August Derleth about Senf "the present ‘artist’ Senf has no sense of the fantastic whatever." However, Senf was an improvement over the cover artists that came before him, so there was incremental improvement that continued to Rankin before getting to the truly great Weird Tales artists like Brundage, St. John, Finlay and Bok. I do, however, like a few of Senf's covers, and this is one. Also, here's a picture of Farnsworth Wright, who was tall and thin, next to C.C. Senf, who wasn't. That photo is amazing. CC Senf appears to be a midget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
