Crowzilla Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I've really been loving all these pulps. My question is, if the 25¢ cover price ones are thirties, when were those 15¢ cover price ones with the witches and things published? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I've really been loving all these pulps. My question is, if the 25¢ cover price ones are thirties, when were those 15¢ cover price ones with the witches and things published? The Weird Tales that I posted were from 1944 to 1949. Perhaps production was cheaper. I don't have an early Weird Tales to compare but I assume that the paper quality was better in the 1930s. Perhaps they paid more for Howard's stories too. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 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. (thumbs u I'll post a bunch of 1934 and 1935 Weird Tales covers in the next week or two. (thumbs u Excellent! I look forward to seeing more of your pulps up close.

Silver Surfer Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Here's a letter of comment from Jerry Siegel that was published in the November 1930 Weird Tales. How cool is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 I love finding Siegel's letters in old pulp magazines. He was frequent contributor to letter columns back then and reading his thoughts about the stories he's read gives us a better understanding of what were some of the influences that shaped his creation of Superman.

adamstrange Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I love finding Siegel's letters in old pulp magazines. He was frequent contributor to letter columns back then and reading his thoughts about the stories he's read gives us a better understanding of what were some of the influences that shaped his creation of Superman. This is a very interesting line of thought and wonder whether anyone previously attempted to pull all of that material together. Thanks for contributing this!
