The Black Hand ® Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I love pulp magazine covers about as much as I love comic book covers......and that's a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 This cover is just harsh. Kinda hard to look at, but you can't look away either. Keep up the quality family entertainment, BZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Scrooge It's interesting that FH was toning down their stuff in '52, as that was still the height of excess for some other companies. Not only is the moody coloring of the '45 version better, but who doesn't like seeing Firehair showing some leg and midriff. Also it's nice seeing the blood in the first panel. It's hard to tell in your scan of the OA, but is there white-out where her dress was extended? I didn't even notice that! That's for pointing it out. The OA is in my office. I'll check next week for evidence of the work and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEyeSees Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Nice OA Bangzoom!! Did Leonard Starr go on to take over the Orphan Annie strip much later, after Harold Gray? It rings a bell. Love your pulp group shot... the "Fangs of the Bat" cover is simply amazing. And the grades of your books never cease to amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Did Leonard Starr go on to take over the Orphan Annie strip much later, after Harold Gray? It rings a bell. Leonard Starr is probably best remembered for his newspaper comic strip, "On Stage," which ran from 1957 to 1979. It was, in my opinion, one of the best illustrated of the so called story strips. In 1979 Starr voluntarily ended "On Stage" to take over the illustrating duties of Little Orphan Annie. He continued with that strip until his retirement in 2000.

GACollectibles Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I see the mention of Lloyd Jacquet's shop, Funnies Inc., did Starr do any work through the Iger Shop that supplied a lot of Fiction House material? (BTW, great pulps and art! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastExchange-migratio Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Bangzoom was that OA in the original Campbell Bros collection you purchased in the 1970's or did you acquire it separately?

BangZoom Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Bangzoom was that OA in the original Campbell Bros collection you purchased in the 1970's or did you acquire it separately? CC The Campbell Bros deal involved only comic books. The Space Pirate story was purchased at a New York Comicon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
