Popular Post ThousandHeadedMan Posted January 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Tough to find vintage HPL art, and while this cover artwork by Charles Momberger didn’t appear in Lovecraft’s lifetime, it’s the first separate book printing of The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath (Shroud, 1955).

Popular Post Pulpvault Posted January 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2022 Here's a drawing by Virgil Finlay from 1935; I believe this was one of the five samples he sent in to Weird Tales to try to convince editor Farnsworth Wright to use him as an illustrator. It worked and the rest is history. OtherEric, asimovpulps, waaaghboss and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulpvault Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 There will be several rare Clark Ashton Smith items in the Saturday night auction (May 7, 2022) at this year's Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (May 6-8, 2022 at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, Illinois). In addition to rare books -- many signed by CAS -- and correspondence from him, is this piece of original art. We'll be posting photos of the auction material sometime in April.

Randall Dowling Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 While not technically pulp art (interior illustrations from men's adventure mags), these two pieces I picked up are pretty impressive in person. Vic Prezio is one of my favorites of this genre. I particularly like his delineation of trees and tree trunks. Cross posting from the Men's Adventure mag thread.

Popular Post Pulpvault Posted March 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2022 With the 2022 Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention rapidly approaching (May 6-8, 2022 at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL), I thought I'd post this piece by the great Frank Kelly Freas, which was sold at our 2005 show. The Saturday of that show, a guy walked in with a portfolio of SF art that he'd collected but now wanted to sell, all from Planet Stories. The good news was that he stopped at my table first. The bad news was that I wasn't at my table. So he went to the next table, where my friend Bob Weinberg was smart enough to be sitting, waiting for just such an opportunity. Bob quickly bought all of the art, which he was happy to show me when I returned to my table. However, taking pity on me, Bob did sell me a few of the pieces that he'd just picked up, including this Freas, which ran in the March 1954 issue of Planet Stories for "Grandma Perkins and the Space Pirates" by James McConnell.

Popular Post Pulpvault Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 Our friendly neighborhood postman delivered this today. By the great Kelly Freas, it's from the Spring 1953 issue of the pulp, Tops in Science Fiction. It illustrates "Citadel of Lost Ships" by another great, Leigh Brackett.

Pulpvault Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 For fans of the great Virgil Finlay, my latest art sale catalog is now available. This one is devoted entirely to the art of Finlay, with over 50 originals. Note that none of these are published pieces, but instead are personal pieces (including abstracts) and a few prelims. None of this material has been at any convention, nor has it been in any prior catalog. This material all comes from Finlay's estate, and I'm selling it on behalf of his granddaughter. And if you like Finlay art, I'll have a few hundred other, similar pieces for sale at this year's Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (May 6-8, 2022 at the Westin Lombard Yorktown center) that has not been shown in any catalog either. You can download the catalog (about 30 MB) through wetransfer at the link below for the next 7 days: https://we.tl/t-2vEa51fsTz Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pulpvault Posted April 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2022 Back in July 2019, I was lucky enough to buy the Hubert Rogers cover art for Astounding, May 1940 at an estate sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. It illustrates "Space Guards" by Buck Rogers author Phil Nowlan. It needed some restoration, which has finally been completed. I picked it up from The Conservation Center earlier today; here's a quick shot of it. Randall Dowling, Joshua33, OtherEric and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
