Scrooge Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Oh and to assuage the feeling that I deal too much in the tawdry, here's a "pre-historic" artifact that Theagenes should enjoy. (Note: it was published some 10 years after Verne's own Voyage to the Center of the Earth) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flee-Marquette Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 It took me until this morning to finally get it. It's not fun being slow. Do you remember that promotion that McD's had where if you could say their Big Mac slogan in under 3 seconds(?) you got a free sandwich? "Two all-beef patties, special sauce , lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 There were other things happening in 1936 aside from frollicking nekid women on the cover of magazine sold under the counter. In the pages of Thrilling Wonder Stories, the newly minted name of Wonder Stories once Ned Pines (him again) took over the mag from Hugo Gernsback and under the guidance of a certain Mort Weisinger as editor, Thrilling Wonder Stories carried a comic-book feature: Zarnak. Zarnak died fairly quickly under the outrage of the letter column but still left us some more crazy Sci-Fi comic book pages that people like around these parts. Art by Max Plaisted and -script maybe by Weisinger himself, here comes Zarnak with big-brained Mercurians and insane ones as well!! - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had read that also but had never seen the pages. "Seize her and Strip her" is such a wonderful line Now I wonder where the Prince Baldwin comes from?!?!

BangZoom Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Now I wonder where the Prince Baldwin comes from?!?! Don't worry there's "more adventures of Diana Daw next month." I'm certain all your questions will be answered in due time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I didn't find any neat cartoons in my issue of Spicy but I did find an interesting cover. But I also liked these Fantastic and Amazing covers and another Marvel (with a Gardner F. Fox story). BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seank Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Just won a copy of "Girlie Pulps" on eBay for $22 shipped. Was really worried one of you guys would outbid me on it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 BZ ... you wouldn't happen to own any Saunders originals would you? No, but for several years I was under the mistaken impression that this painting was by Saunders. The painting was originally purchased without knowing who the artist was or where it was published. I thought I'd identified the artist when I read this attribution in The Shudder Pulps. Later I saw that incorrect credit repeated in many dealers lists and in several more books. Ultimately, when I became more familiar with the styles of different artists, I realized that the painting was actually the work of JW Scott.

adamstrange Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Ultimately, when I became more familiar with the styles of different artists, I realized that the painting was actually the work of JW Scott. It's definitely not Saunders and Scott seems reasonable to these less experienced eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
