rjpb Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Shiverbones and I posted scans of several Ghost Stories covers on the pulp thread yesterday. I imagine there are quite a few readers here on the boards who don't venture over there, so I thought I'd post some covers here, too. October 1929 Ghost clown. That has to be on Shiv's want list now.

I wonder why they dated it? I like it very, very much BZ. Thanks for posting it. I've never had a copy of that book that I can recall. I'll find one eventually.

BangZoom Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 The Spider (June 1939) Mystic Comic #1 (March 1940) Very cool, Dwight. It's obvious the comic artist used The Spider cover as his inspiration for his illustration. Who drew the cover to the Mystic Comics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 That's one of my favorite Shadow covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Ghost clown. That has to be on Shiv's want list now. Being haunted by the ghost of a clown is scary stuff, but probably no scarier than some living clowns of the past. If this 1920's clown was trying to lighten the mood of his audience, he needs to rethink his makeup. His buddy looks a little more pleasant. On second thought...

BangZoom Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 tb, I watched a couple of Silly Symphonies this morning and I noticed that the opening scene in The Fox Hunt (1931) has some similarities to the image you posted from The Skeleton Dance.

BangZoom Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 tb, you asked about the ads that ran in pulp magazines prior to the stock market crash. I pulled out an Argosy from September 1929, which was just prior to the crash, and compared it to an issue two years later. The biggest difference I noticed was quantity. The 1929 issue only had three pages of advertising versus 12 in the 1931 magazine. Also, the number of listings in the classifieds increased from 5 to 24. I wonder if the circulation of pulp magazines also increased during the Depression. Argosy (September 7, 1929) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
