Gorgeous. The problem with Margaret Brundage and "classic cover" designations is, if like us,  you love softly shaded, beautifully painted, 1930's semi-nude cuties in strange and fantastical situations, then there's a lot of covers you consider classic :cloud9:

Although my personal favorite in that style is actually by Finlay:

The title/Logo design on these last three issues is outstanding.  There's a couple of the Oriental Stories covers I prefer to any of The Magic Carpets, though.

Here's the other two I put in the top 3 Brundage.  I guess there are others that you could argue for, but I don't think I'm buying.  The 7.0 that sold recently, 7.5 coming up but I think it doesn't look as good.  There's a 9.0 of May 34 in that auction that should show crazy action plus a lot of other high grade WT as well.  No doubt Weird Tales has been babied compared to most other pulps all things considered.

I'll come right out and say it.  I hate the looming face in the background of Phantom Detective.  No matter how cool the foreground scene is, there's that faded dweeb in a mask and top hat playing voyeur in the background. :baiting:

So I guess you are saying that you are no friend of the Phantom?

Wow, dude, wow :golfclap:

 But, really, aren't you just begging to get beat up sporting that around the neighborhood by well adjusted G-Men or Doc Savage loving youths? 🧐

Underrated cover with no good girl but a creepy cover came back a little better than my thinking.Not bad for a pulp from 1939 and a cover that stirs the mind looking at it

Tremendous!

This one came back just a little below what i was thinking but when do you see it.The cover draws you in to what is happening and the results was fine for me

I've got a nice copy of this one, too.  Think it's a hot pulp.  Keeping mine, though.  Love the Bettie looking femme against the red, and I like it when a girlie dishes it out, too.  This isn't your usual smug George Gross schmoe getting sat on.
