Popular Post jimjum12 Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) While many of the titles on which Enoch Bolles provided covers aren't technically Pulps, he still deserves a thread here, IMHO .... A lot of his work appeared on film and "girlie" mags... and his work is mostly affordable and impeccably well done. This one was on my want list for a while.

Popular Post Scrooge Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 Includes an early photo of Jane Russell advertising her first role in The Outlaw, shot in 1941 but only released in 1943 as her portrayal in the movie made it hard for it to pass the censorship board - Raze, jimjum12, vheflin and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) There's been a seller on eBay who has been cashing in with the Bolles Breezy Stories covers, and boy did he wait until the right time. Of the two I thought to myself I had to have if they ever came up, one I under shot my snipe on, and the other which just closed last Monday I ended up passing on in the end , while I dont mind a nice presenting low grader , there was just too much staining on the image of the girl (and she was wearing white which made it stand out even more) And with Bolles, it's all about the girl. I'll probably end up regretting it Edited July 29, 2020 by sagii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one has a Fay Wray feature in it, not too long after King Kong ... I wouldn't mind finding a reader or an online resource, if there is such a thing, where It is scanned.

HRCostigan Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Bolles covers for me include the one that got away, and are therefore bittersweet. After strike three over a decade of being the underbidder on a Cupid's Capers book at 1K, 2K+, and 4K+, I had to give it up. Joshua33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJum's thread had me pull out Illustration Magazine # 9 with the bio of Bolles by Jack Raglin who runs the Enoch Bolles Blog and I enjoyed revisiting that article today. Then more time spent reading the blog. Tons of great information in there with more details that couldn't fit in the Illustration article including this entry that shows the photo that inspired the cover above - https://enochbolles.blogspot.com/2009/04/hula-hoot.html You can peruse freely a low-res copy of the Sold Out issue of Illustration Magazine here - https://issuu.com/illomag/docs/ill9?e=1289036/4462796 Edited July 29, 2020 by Scrooge jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Grapefruitmoon is going through their stock and I love their high-resolution scans. There are a few I'd bid on, and they were all on HA in CGC holders!!! I lost. jimjum12 and ThothAmon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
