He's my # 1 Collection focus over the years though I rarely buy anything anymore. PKD is one of my favorite writers, I just recently finished putting together a set of first editions of all his paperback originals. I've only got one original hardcover, though. My collection of his pulp and digest work is spotty, he was incredibly prolific and in high demand. There's at least 3 digests with his work on page 1 of the thread, though.

Popular Post catrick339 Posted September 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2023 Grabbed a cool one today.

Darwination Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Nice, Catrick, what's the date on that one? Even though it's Atlas I don't seem to have any. Seven pages of Betty is a whole lot of Betty She was totally a regular model in the TAM Humorama digests. I was thinking Brief might have run in multiple formats like some of these Atlas did, but MyComicShop is showing all digest (I thought maybe it had run as a pocket magazine or shifted to full sized, too). Of course, I have seen this particular issue fetch crazy prices (as any MM cover does, even if she is looking extra hot here): -an aside and not a small magazine, but rather an oversized magazine, up at auction (not mine) on eBay right now, Norma Jean Dougherty The one up right now is not as nice as this copy. Totally charming cover. PopKulture, Pat Calhoun and Randall Dowling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure makes me sorry I didn’t pick through so many flea market boxes of stuff like this when I had the chance. Most of the ones I did.

Popular Post Pat Calhoun Posted September 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) One thing I've always appreciated on PBs is that most of them have a nice thick cover stock, whereas digests are predominately bound in a thinner more fragile paper. So I like digests that have the sturdier covers, and the first Atlas crime series 1942-1945 all have them. Here's the first with Cardwell Higgins' delightful pin-up style art, and the last, with art by another cheesecake specialist, Peter Driben.
