Scrooge Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 One of my favorite things to do in pulps is peruse the letter column - you never know whose name will pop up. Sure enough. I am reading The Citadel of Fear in the Feb '42 Famous Fantastic Mysteries issue and there's a letter by Robert Madle whom we've talked about in the thread. Heck I received his most recent catalog just a month or so ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks! The paper is pretty nice, definately readable. I have all the Mars books already, but I would would to read some of the others. The A. Merritt story looks interesting. I read my comics but rarely have felt comfortable reading my pulps. All of the pulps I've seen you post have been like 9.8's - gorgeous! I'd be scared to breath on them, much less read them. I was pretty nervous reading the Skylark of Space installment in the 8/28 Amazing (Buck Rogers issue). I had picked a pb reading copy of the novel from the 50's, but realized that Doc Smith had "updated" it with a lot of changes; the only way to read the original 20's version was to read the pulp. One of my favorite things to do in pulps is peruse the letter column - you never know whose name will pop up. My pulps are pretty nice but I worry about cracking the spines on them in a way that the I don't when reading comics. I have perused them because I have a number with fun interior art by Finlay, Bok etc and have read some of the shorter stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any particular concerns when I flip through my pulps, but I am always worried about cracking the spines of my BLB's when I look at them.

What happens when you actually touch them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put some heavy shipping tape along the binding and you will never have to worry about losing the cover. So read away!

The Black Hand ® Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Ah! It feels so good to come back and visit this thread.Where the golden age still lives, pure and innocent. After all the other stuff I've been viewing on the boards. I had to take a few showers to feel clean again. But this is the place where you can still be a kid.

BangZoom Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hangman is still my favorite. That's a beautiful splash. What issue is that from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Arrgh! I was looking at the Top-Notch gallery at GCD, looking for the claws and I missed it. I though it had a MLJ look to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hangman is still my favorite. That's a beautiful splash. What issue is that from? That spash is from Pep 44. There are some nice stories in Top-Notch 8 too. Is there a Firefly splash in that issue? bb and this one is Pep 45. Not my scans but they are pretty nice.

Theagenes, I thought it looked like MLJ too. With the green hands and green face the Skull should come to mind and Top Notch. But I was thinking more about the Blue Ribbon 7 cover that I have. There is a similar Top Notch which started me thinking about where I had seen that yellow pier. That may sound like a strange free association of things but the sixties were good to me.... bb [ Edited April 10, 2008 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
