Darwination Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Unfortunate fade when we need the red and greens, R.A. Burley. When you can't afford a big tree but it doesn't really matter cuz you got a cutie to bring you cheer. pmpknface, Pat Calhoun and Yorick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwination Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Not a girlie pulp but - Xmas. Full issue will be showing up at the ongoing Digital Comics Museum's Ballyhoo spotlight leading towards Xmas. The Xmas spirit's gonna grab me one of these days. Or not.

Darwination Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I lost one I wanted on Sunday I'd never seen before. We'll see if I made the right decision not to pay more for a yuck-ish copy if I ever see the damned thing again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Darwination Posted December 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Nope, I was looking at the second issue of La Boheme Quarterly, mostly out of historical interest (I've got the first ish). It has a Vargas cover, but not a good one. Has to be super scarce, I wasn't sure more existed, and I've hunted the first for a long time. The condition was extrasuspect (as were a couple of nice Peps, not many photos this time and low grades, kinda weird for that seller who tends to overgrade in the first place - he digs up great mags, tho). I skipped the hula dancer, but that issue is totally classic and on my wantlist even if it's gonna be tough to find a super copy. In fact, I wish I'd gone for it now Congrats on that one for sure. Those late Broadway Nights with photo covers are interesting. I'm thinking some of them were maybe in more of a magazine size? This is my favorite of my Broadway Nights, but there are a bunch I'd like to have, some of the issues seem extra scarce classy, I know Edited December 20, 2023 by Darwination Pat Calhoun, Surfing Alien, pmpknface and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwination Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 A strange X-mas cover, Lulu was a sister mag to 10 Story Book out of Chicago but more of a humor digest. and I missed the opportunity at Thanksgiving but since I've got another but most *killer* edition of Lulu I believe there's a short-lived Canadian mag called Lulu that ran just a year or two after this title. Don't know anything about that one, though. pmpknface and Robot Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Nice holiday covers! I look for them but rarely find any. Early pulps and mags are the kind of things that you better buy when you get the chance as you might never get a second chance… Darwination 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwination Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) I don't really seek out the holiday covers, but I should a little more just cuz they have the mass appeal in terms of getting people to take a look at old magazines. But like an Xmas western pulp with a Christmas angle? Love it. I don't even know what area of these forums to post slicks, but there are some amazing holiday covers out there. I noticed one Santa Liberty in my collection: The Xmas cover from this Successful Farming is a little grimmer Edited December 24, 2023 by Darwination pmpknface and Pat Calhoun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
