Hawt.  I wonder if 7 and/or 8 are Louise Alston, too?  I'll have to Iook a little closer at her comics covers and figure it out...

Both better than Leg Artist 🙂

#2 & 7 both look like the same hand as 12. Harry Schaare signed #8. 

Leg Artist is Top of the Bill

Oops that should have read 2 and 7.  Not 100 percent sure they are the same artist, but I think so, too.  12 is Altson, I'd like to find a collector's copy of that one, already laid hands on a scanning copy.

Outside of the bib there, she also did interior splashes in the girls magazing comics as well in other types of Goodman mags.  She doesn't have a Fictionmags entry, but I've seen her in The American Weekly as well.

There was a recent board sale with a bunch of nice covers from her:

I've changed my opinion, this now the best Red Circle, even better than the Gross, so cute.

Great cover, close second to Leg Artist

Just got this in…Classic Norman Saunders “beauty parlor of the future” - A mechanical fountain of youth - cover. Schomburg interior art as well. 
 

April-May, 1939

Fearsome foursome @Ameri

Purchased at a show earlier today! Mentions Marvel Comics, the Human Torch and Sub-Mariner in text at the bottom of two pages! January 1941.

I at one time had a lot of the Red Circle Goodman line but sold them. A half dozen years or so ago, I decided to pick them up when I saw them but not to seek them out vigorously. I have added a decent amount since that time. 

Marvel Science Stories #2

[Frisco Larson]

It's SO cool to me that the first 5 Marvel Science Stories feature the same "MARVEL" as the Marvel Mystery Comics issues #3-#8, with what I've always referred to as the "tippy little R" that would likely tip over if not for the V keeping it in place!   The weird things we collectors notice.

[Frisco Larson]

Title changes to Marvel Stories at some point. This issue (November 1940) features a one-page Human Torch story! Also noted in the indicia is that the interior story illustrations are done by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby! Here's an interior ad pic to go with the aforementioned photos.

Here we have Sky Devils v2 #! February 1940 which is bursting with ads for the new Marvel Mystery Comics line and even NEWER Daring Mystery Comics line! This pulp is worth seeking out for the house ads if nothing else! With the same cover date as Marvel Mystery #4 and Daring Mystery #2, this pulp was right there at the very beginning!

[Frisco Larson]

Dynamic Science Stories #1 February 1939. Dynamic Science Stories always seemed to me to have the same relative connection to Marvel Science Stories as Daring Mystery Comics did to Marvel Mystery Comics in that both were released shortly after the Marvel titles, and both had a very similar name. The interior house ad pic shows some of the pulps Goodman had on the stands at that time. Still the better part of a year before we'd see a Goodman comic on the stands.

I'm not sure if Ben is looking for pre Red Circle pulps that would eventually carry the Red Circle logo, but I have some pre and post Red Circle Goodman pulps. 

Complete Western Book Magazine v5 #1. If memory serves, this title was the first Goodman pulp. I may be mistaken, and correct me if I am, but I think that's true. 

[Frisco Larson]

Sports Action v4 #4. Sports Action is another Goodman pulp which at some point should've had a Red Circle logo on it. 

[Frisco Larson]

Western Novels and Short Stories was another very early Goodman pulp title. This one being v12 #8. I'd be pretty sure this title had a Red Circle logo for at least a few years, roughly 1937-1939. 

[Frisco Larson]

Ok, here's a post Red Circle Goodman title which carries that familiar Marvel logo a few years beyond any comic sporting it: Marvel Science Stories from 1951. I don't have an interior pic handy to establish which volume and number this issue is. If I get a chance to dig it out, I'll come back and update this post with that info. 

[Frisco Larson]

And finally, for tonight, here's an odd smaller sized Goodman pulp with a somewhat familiar title: Marvel Science Fiction, which I believe to be an early 50s issue. I'll update this post once I can dig it out and verify the volume and issue numbers. This one is a tiny sized copy, a goodly bit smaller than the standard pulp size.

Post them all 👍🏾😀

Actually, Goodman loved Westerns and I believe his first pulp was actually a western:

Interesting ... I thought it was a Complete Western from 1932 that was first. Just goes to show that you can learn something new every day if you frequent the boards!
