It would be a Crime not to post your Detective Pulps 6 6

[rjpb]

My second Raymond Chandler pulp, and the last time he did a story directly for the pulps ( September 1941), unless you count the posthumous publication of "Wrong Pigeon" in the Feb 1960 issue of Manhunt, which was a digest. Elements of the story "No Crime in the Mountains" was later incorporated into the novel "The Lady in the Lake".

Thanks! To me it's done in his 'Blaine' signed works style, the woman here just isn't as provocative as they usually are portrayed on those works.

The costumed hero, The Black Hood, started off in comics in 1940, but he also appeared in three issues of his own pulp (Black Hood Detective, retitled Hooded Detective after the first issue) from the Columbia pulp chain in 1941 and 1942.  In 1941 and 1942, the stories were reprinted in the Canadian pulp, Sure-Fire Detective, with the covers repainted based on the American covers.  Two of the three Canadian issues feature the Black Hood on the cover, which I'll post here.

The other Black Hood pulp story was reprinted in the December 1941 issue of the Canadian pulp, Sure-Fire Detective, though this time the Black Hood didn't nab the cover. The cover itself, by artist Harold Bennett, was a swipe of a cover by H.J. Ward, which had appeared two months earlier on the October 1941 issue of Spicy Mystery.

I’m new here. Does anyone have any Canadian printed Detective pulps or magazines they would want to part with? I only collect Canadian printed.

You need to start a WTB thread.

Also posted in PAPERBACKS. Great cover and great story titles! Me thinks there are some pseudonyms on the title page...If you know for sure, let me know. I suspect Harlan Ellison for at least one of the 'Jay' Authors!

Also posted in PAPERBACKS a couple of weeks ago. I like these 50's Mystery Digests. Hard to find!

This is in another thread as well, but I have some new angle shots to show just how choice this book is. It'd be a crime not to post it.

It is said that HJ Ward used his wife as a model for most of his female cover subjects. I would love to see a picture of her. His life story is very interesting. Very similar to Matt Baker, he was a talented artist with respect to the female form and he also, similar to Baker, died at a very young age. I believe he worked for 6 years as a cover artist before being drafted into the war. Fortunately for us, he was a very busy guy and was able to crank out approximately 50 covers per year in that short time period, so he has a large and beautiful frame of work.

David Saunders of Illustrated Press published a very nice large format volume on Ward. Tons of great illustrations and a full length bio, pics of his wife etc. It might be Out-Of-Print now. If not, you can  probably get it on Amazon from the publisher or from Bud Plant.

Yes, I've had one on my watch list for a while. Kind of embarrassing, as much as I love Ward, it's nearly the only coffee table book I don't own. I'll probably change that right nowish. Thanks.

Just got this in today. The cover art looks so familiar, but just can't quite place it.  1938, first issue... had to have it. Enjoy.
