BangZoom Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Jack Hearne ( who drew the Four Most covers I believe): Thanks, alanna. My favorite of the bunch was the Jack Hearne cover. I had never heard of him so I checked GCD and found some of the comic covers he drew: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I'm particularly partial to some of the wildlife covers myself - especially whales and polar bears! (Go figure) Here is another whale of a cover, by Kunstler: Edited April 2, 2011 by alanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Calhoun Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Since 2 of BZ’s 3 oddball pulps were Macfadden Publications- I looked up their history (via Wiki…) wow! Bernarr Macfadden was the father of ‘physical culture’ a combo of exercise, diet, and philosophy- he founded 'Physical Culture' magazine in 1899 and added the original reality pulp 'True Story' in 1919 full of fiction disguised as documentary. Both mags were big hits and he added 'Liberty', 'True Detective', 'True Romances', 'Dream World', 'Ghost Stories', and 'Photoplay'. Thus the 'True Strange Stories' fits in, and the 'Danger and Daring' reminds me of Gernsback’s 'Pirate Stories' from the same era. So they were a magazine powerhouse if not a big player in ‘our kind’ of pulps. On a very different note from Macfadden- one of my favorite comics (is PB style) that may be scarce as Archie apparently won a lawsuit against MB and many copies were destroyed-recalled or some such… 1962 reprints from ‘Help’ mag: with spoofs of S*perm*n, T*rz*n, Sea Hunt, and Archie.

BangZoom Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Raphael de Soto (you should have lots of pulp covers by him BZ!): Alanna, I notice that quite a few of the magazines you've posted have covers by artists we're familiar with. Are the stories by authors whose names we'd recognize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
