BangZoom Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 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. That's a cool looking book. I've never seen it before. Since we're on the topic of humor paperbacks... Here is Harvey Kurtzman's Fun and Games.

BangZoom Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 College Parodies (1961) is very much in the style of Help Magazine. It's a collection of material taken from college humor magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I love your collection, Pat. Like I've said previously, you've got lots of stuff that no one else is sharing with us. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 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? Hmmmm - good question! I will take a look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for sharing these less common pulps. (thumbs u Tropical Adventures (May 1928) I 'm happy there's an audience for it. All ten of us appreciate it Thanks, Richard. Sometimes I grow worried when I hear the sound of crickets emanating from my speakers for too long a period of time.

sacentaur Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I 'm happy there's an audience for it. All ten of us appreciate it Eleven now I met a fine gentelman at the local Vintage Paper Con last weekend, and he mentioned owning some Weird Tales purchased long ago from a dealer named Robert Weinberg. We met today and he had several dozen nice mid-range copies. Unfortunately, some of the books had paper quality (too brown) that I just could not accept (even on pulps). But I did pick up the ones that passed muster; they're not anywhere BZ quality, the paper could be better (still supple - I checked), but the prices were reasonable and I just love 'em. Cross-posted from the "Pulp" thread (hope some of you don't mind seeing them again - yeah, I'm a proud papa). June 1938 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Steve. Looks like you're having fun with the pulps. It's great to see you this excited Bob Weinberg has been a name in pulp circles for a loooong time. Still based out of Chicago I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really starting out your pulp collection with a bang! That's an impressive group of Weird Tales you bought. If you haven't already done so, you should look around Robert Weinberg's website. I especially liked this page that shows off some of the rarest pulps in his collection: Link I also strongly recommend Robert Weinberg's book, The Weird Tales Story .

BangZoom Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 March 1938 (Lovecraft) This is one of my favorite Brundage covers. I'm usually not all that fond of red covers, but this one is a knockout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I always say you should never be naked around human skulls. Clearly, no good can come from it and, in this case, something weird happens.

BangZoom Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 This cover is another beauty. Brundage included much more background than usual which I think adds a lot to the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
