adamstrange Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Margaret Brundage's first published cover. That's lovely!! Reminds me of the Thief of Baghdad. I introduced my nieces and nephews to that movie last week. All really enjoyed it, though my nephew did have to cover his eyes to avoid the "kissy stuff".

Scrooge Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (worship) I hope people appreciate how TOUGH it is to have pulps in the kind of condition BZ's are! And the covers on that title are quintessential pulp In all the reports from the recent PulpCon, one of the talk was the "frenzied" bidding on a run of Far East Adventure Stories, a run of books tough to find in any shape. The run was sold piecemeal with serious bidding (in pulp terms, that's $800 to $1,300 a copy which are strong prices for that market). Any you copies you have to share BZ?

BB-Gun Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Oriental Stories (1930-1932) never receives the attention that its sister publication Weird Tales gets, but it deserves a share of the spotlight. They had a similar list of contributors. Cover illustration by J. Allen St. John That is a great St. John cover and I guess it is for the Otis Kline story. What is the story on Otis Kline? Was he before or after ERB or a competitor? I haven't read his stories yet and I don't think I have a complete one but they look pretty good based on the covers and titles. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 BZ, since we know you like Bellem (as long as he doesn't use the word "bruisingly" over and over and over ... ), here's a letter he had printed in Writer's Digest in 1943. What is interesting (and also mentioned in the previous article) is the active role that the OWI (Office of War Information) had in what was suggested should see print ...
