ciorac Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Cleveland Radio station WCPN visited the current owners of Jerry Siegel's boyhood home. You can listen to the audio file at their website.

BB-Gun Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 There were lots of other great Fiction House covers. Fight was pretty good and Rangers had some gruesome war covers. The Spirit covers were pretty good too and better than the earlier Quality covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 The Spirit had a few circus stories. Quality comics had two comics with the Barker and his side show friends. I like this issue with Spudo on the cover. He was a very strange sort of superhero. And if you like records, Mad gave them away with the Worst Annuals. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Still getting caught up in this thread after being gone for a few weeks. Love the Oriental Stories and Magic Carpets! I'm just now on the Superman letter and the link to the lawsuit documents - this looks like it's going to be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I don't have much to contribute to the Siegel and Shuster story but I have a copy of the 1988 Comic Convention Program which honored their creation. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks, BB. I wish I could read that Spirit story. Too bad goldenagecomics.co.uk doesn't have scans of the Spirit supplements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Here's a short-lived title that Moondog might like to collect (if he doesn't already). Six issues were published by Gernsback Publications (1934-35). V1#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Ryan earlier gave us the heads-up on the Paul book. There are 2 upcoming books folks around here will probably be interested in - First (and even though I know I'll buy both, this is the one I'll buy "first"), NORMAN SAUNDERS by David Saunders - Coming in November! Mars Attacks!, Wacky Packages, battle cards, monster stickers, men's magazines, paperbacks, pulps, and Pre-Code comics - artist Norman Saunders did it all! His artwork was recognizable, and often imitated, but never duplicated. Now available, for the first time in history, the definitive book on the art of Norman Saunders. Published by Illustration Magazine, Norman Saunders overflows with 368 full-color pages of monsters, mayhem, rockets, robots, Nazis, and naked chicks, all in a sensational budget-priced hardcover is sure to delight every fan of popular culture! Hardcover, 9x11, 368 pages, Full Color, SRP: $39.95 Second, VIRGIL FINLAY: FUTURE PAST - Coming in November! by Virgil Finlay From the 1930s through the 1950s, Virgil Finlay was the most popular artist in science fiction. His meticulous, labor-intensive, dot-based technique, coupled with an unfettered imagination, created fantastic otherworlds populated by sensual sirens and frightful creatures depicted with a nearly photographic reality. This first-ever career retrospective features more than 350 of Finlay's black-and-white drawings illustrating scenes from works by his friend H. P. Lovecraft, as well as Robert E. Howard and other sci-fi legends. Here too are his rarely seen images from The American Weekly, deemed so disturbing that publisher William Randolph Hearst fired him, as well as art of Finlay's that appeared in such noted pulp magazines as WEIRD TALES and AMAZING STORIES, and previously unpublished paintings. Available in Regular and Slipcased hardcover editions. HARDCOVER (1-59929-025-1), 7x10, 400 pages, SRP: $29.95 SLIPCASED (1-59929-026-X), 7x10, 400 pages, SRP: $75.00 ------------------------------------------------ By the way, I knew about the first one but not yet about the Finlay book. For all my reprints / new projects need, I cannot recommend enough Bill Thom's Coming Attractions website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have several issues of the Barker but Goldenagecomics.UK has several new scans of the issues including the one with the Spudo cover. I have several Superman comics to scan but also some Super, Supersnipe, Super-Magician, Super Duck and Supermouse. bb The Superman required a little photoshop but the others just needed cropping and straightening.

Scrooge, thanks for the recommendations and the tip about the website. I think I'm most looking forward to the Frank Paul and Norman Saunders books. I'm also interested in THE PAINTINGS OF J. ALLEN ST. JOHN. Have you seen any issues of Blood 'n' Thunder? From the descriptions it sounds pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked GCD and discovered that "The House of Darkness" was reprinted in The Spirit #4, which I happen to have in my collection. Unfortunately, the story turned out to be a big diappointment.
