Pat Calhoun Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Henry Kuttner's Prince Raynor debuts in 'Cursed be the City' in #2 Apr, with the even better second yarn appearing in the August ish, 'The Citadel of Darkness' (seen in group shot). This was the second of his sword & sorcery characters- helping fill the gap after Conan creator, Robert E. Howard committed suicide (the other being Elak of Atlantis in Weird Tales). Great Stories!

archiefan Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Anybody pick up anything from the Tom Mackie auction a few days ago. Good deals were to be had though I haven't seen an official prices realized list yet. http://www.webbs.co.nz/auction/tom-mackie-collection-comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the second of his sword & sorcery characters- helping fill the gap after Conan creator, Robert E. Howard committed suicide (the other being Elak of Atlantis in Weird Tales). Great Stories! Strange Stories doesn't seem to be as heavily collected as some other weird fiction titles but they had an attractive list of contributors, many of whom were regularly published in Weird Tales. Writers included: Robert Bloch, Arthur J. Burks, Ray Cummings, August Derleth, Carl Jacobi, David Keller, Otis Albert Kline, Henry Kuttner, C.L. Moore, E. Hoffman Price, Seabury Quinn, Manly Wade Wellman, and John Wyndham. The covers were mostly by Earle Bergey and the magazine's interiors featured artwork by Virgil Finlay, Leo Morey, and Harry Parkhurst, among others.

BangZoom Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Anybody pick up anything from the Tom Mackie auction a few days ago. I enjoyed seeing everything that was offered for sale. I have one issue of the Buck Rogers series but had never before seen most of the other covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the REH scholars and collectors that I know, Patrice Louinet, just got through selling a huge run of high grade Fight Stories on ebay. Apparently the great grandson of Earle Bergey won a bunch of them. He told Patrice that he's working on a book on his famous ancester and doing research Patrice gave him a bunch hi-res scans to use and plans on keeping in touch with him. Hopefully he will get a cool story or two about Bergey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I most remember about Patrice whenever I see his name in print: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 My copy of the H.J. Ward book should arrive early next week. I already have read the fantastic Illustration Mag article Dave did on Ward. I don't know how much more information there will be but at least I can assume that there will be more illustrations. In fact, due to the extensive coverage in Illustration, I hesitated buying the book ... but in the end caved in. Have you received your copy, BZ?

I noticed that they finally did that, so I will probably be placing my order within the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
