Bonds25 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Bangzoom, the condition on your pulps is utterly amazing! Were these purchased and immediately stored and never read? I have never seen any pulps for sale in this nice of condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm curious as to what the first cover was with Conan drawn or painted on it. Was it a pulp or a regular book? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 BZ, can you post the Queen of the Black Coast cover? This should be Conan's first cover appearance (1934 or 1935 issue - blue cover with a winged dude attacking Conan and a damsel in distress if I recall my copy correctly). There were not too many Conan covers, although I can't really complain as I would prefer to look at the Brundage Babes instead of some barbarian on the covers.

TheEyeSees Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I love your WEIRD's Bangzoom!! Just outstanding pulps. They must be some of the highest grade copies in existence!!! St. John and Brundage were as good as it gets for pulp covers... wow. Sheer originality and genius in their use of their mediums (oil and pastel respectively). I also like seeing your very early WEIRD TALES... like "the Giant Flea" cover or that man caught in the giant spider web. They have an odd charm all their own. Do you have that cool cover with the Brontosaurus, that looks like it came form the movie "the Lost World" (1925)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I think I like pulps simply because of the gratuitus use of breasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I think I like pulps simply because of the gratuitus use of breasts. So I guess these Fox covers don't work for you. bb I found these on line in a shared file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 I like this cover. I love the witch, sad tree, and most of all, the angular smoke coming from the chimney of the house. Dr. Seuss rarely drew a straight line; Matt Fox seemingly used nothing but straight lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) Swiped for the cover of House of Mystery #1, and again later a Jimmy Olsen cover. Maybe it wasn't Jimmy, I know they used it again though. Superboy! That's it! Edited May 6, 2008 by shiverbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEyeSees Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I posted this in the "pulp" thread, but since there have been so many great pulps posted in this thread, I thought this would be at home here: Ebay win last week... DOCTOR DEATH #1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
