BangZoom Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hello all... I have something (not a comic) that I've never seen before. I've seen other volumes of the Royce Quick Reader series, but never this Poe one. Anyone have or seen one of these before? This book was published in 1942 and features five Poe stories (Black Cat, Purloined Letter, Mask of the Red Death, Berenice, Pit and Pendulum). 128 pages but is only about 3 inches tall and a little over 2 inches wide. Has about 10 b&w interior illustrations. Neat book. I've never seen that one before. I have several other titles in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 This page sure as heck ain't only Torres. Williamson/and/or Krenkel bottom panel and Frazetta in panel 3... Johnny's Flying Saucer sure has the look of Frazetta's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Calhoun Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 oh yeah - Johnny's Flying Saucer is also a superb -script, thus = an incredible comics combo. On the 'Rarebit' will fill in more once have book in hand... here's from Richard Lupoff's intro to a reprint he did His story “The Man and the Beast” appeared in Argosy for April, 1901. “The Space Annihilator” appeared in Argosy for September, 1901. “The Man who Made a Man,” Cummins’ most famous and most often anthologized story, appeared in McClure’s Magazine – not a pulp but a general magazine -- for December of that same year. One story which I would dearly love to read is “The Ring of the Golden Snake,” published in The Nickel Magazine for September, 1902. This was presumably too late for inclusion in Welsh Rarebit Tales but there are Argosy collectors. Perhaps one of them would be kind enough to furnish us with a copy of this story, which could be included in some future volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
