NEW DETECTIVE March 1941

G/VG ow pages

Looks nicer, but staples are so rusty they've largely disintegrated. No water staining, must have just been humidity. Nice page quality. 

Spine is solid but glue is weak at top, and cover is starting to pull away. Small hole punch above title on cover. A couple one inch tears on back cover.

 

First issue of title. Cool skeleton cover.

$100

PUBLIC ENEMY Dec 1935

VG+  ow pages.

First issue.

Classic Saunders cover.

Not scarce, as there are four copies on ebay in about the same condition or less. This is cheaper than any of them.

MYSTERY TALES March 1940

FR/G ow pages.

These Red Circle horror pulps are always in demand, but rarely this cheap.

Ads for Marvel Mystery and Daring Mystery, but no images.  

A beater, but with better than average page quality.

ROGUE FOR MEN March 1955

FN cream pages.

First issue. 

Great painted cover.

This title would become a more traditional girlie mag by the 60s, but started out in format similar to Men's Adventure magazines of the era, with newsprint paper, Black, white and red story illos, and G-rated pinup pix.

Marilyn Monroe article with photos.

$100

That address could very well be a place Forrest Ackerman picked up pulps as it is just north of Melrose in Hollywood. It sounds like he was in LA at the time doing odd jobs.

Yeah, I looked up the name of the shop at the address, as well as the phone exchange, and found no info, but if it is the N. Western in Los Angeles, it fits. I think he spent his entire life in Los Angeles.

And GL was a Los Angeles phone exchange. Just need to find a phone book from that era on line.
