BangZoom Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I've never seen this cover before Scrooge!!!! Thanks for posting it. I think this is the only one I haven't seen from 1936. Yes, it's a real beauty. I don't own a copy of it so I especially enjoyed seeing your scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I understand that those were put out by Henry Marcus who a few years earlier was putting out the better known Tattle Tales, Bedtime Stories as well as Cupid's Capers. I have a nice collection of those titles. I can't say I'm surprised. Do you have a copy of my favorite Tattle Tales: June 1934 (Spain) and July 1933 (Zanzibar) you can show and maybe Bedtime Stories from March 1934 (Thais) Ah Enoch Bolles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Btw, not only the illos were changed in the Starred version but also the text, see below. Also, while all three Spicy Detective, Adventure and Western had a censored version, Spicy Mystery never did, presumably b/c the editors knew that with the horror included in the book, the mag never had a chance of being accepted, censorship or not. If you read the censored and uncensored, you can see that ... yeah ... the censorship board really had a leg to stand on questioning these mags ... Is the scanned page from Bookery's Guide to the Pulps? I really need to find a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My large Spicy scans and text + info are from Uncovered: The Hidden Art of the Girlie Pulps by Doug Ellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Here's Zanzibar and another sweet Spicy Adventure cover - Both are great covers.

BB-Gun Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Please post more Spicy and Speed covers. I think this scan is from one of the anthologies (The Pulps by Tony Goodstone) that I purchased at a flea market. It has a variety of covers and a lot of text. Unfortunately I haven't found a lot of early pulps. They tend to be more fragile and hard to find in grade. The Bat or Batman seemed to be a popular name for a character in pulps. The Black Bat stories were also being published before 1939. BB BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 very nice Bang......I had a high grade copy of this issue that I sold on eBay about 3 years ago......."The Dentist" was the high bidder. It sold for about $3k, which I was told may have been a record price for this pulp at that time. Since the rest of your collection isn't worth that much, at least you know you have a solid $3k with this one, if you ever choose to sell it all.

Norrin_Radd Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 This image is from the cover of what GA cover? Here's another piece. ...and another. And... Maybe you'll recognize this face. CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #8 I love that cover and I still wouldn't have gotten that one right from those clues. There is a reason I've never won a pop quiz.
