Pat Calhoun Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Did you know that the story was originally serialized in the February - August 1899 issues of Argosy? not really unexpected - were they running illustrations with such serials back then? and thanks for Coblentz poem- this one better & looks like Fox enhancement Edited January 25, 2015 by pcalhoun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 The magazine didn't publish illustrations at that point in time. Even the covers were devoid of illustrations. image from philsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Calhoun Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Spent time at UNZ site this afternoon. Read many poems from WT 1943-1953 (was especially hoping to find ones enhanced by Fox). The PDF (pretty dumb format) is frustrating to the appropriator (I know- that’s the point…). Images are elusive and the text captures seemed to be OCR, better than zero. So took this Coblentz (9/44) and embedded it (thanks to artist Richard Bisley whose work I’ve musticated) just because… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales of Danger and Daring (April 1929) I can't stands it no longer. What on Earth are the "Red Tins of Mystery"? I'm married with a culinarily challenged wife, but even she hasn't served up a "mystery can". I think. What's it all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't familiar with the work of Richard Bisley so when I read the poem I was picturing the artwork of Chesley Bonestell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 and while we are asking questions about stories. Is the cover story about vampires or zombies? I read a review that said zombies (The Walking Dead) but cover illo made me think it was vampires. Yeah, the cover might suggest otherwise, but the Hoffman story is definitely about zombies. Jeff Shanks in his book, Zombies from the Pulps , reprinted "The Walking Dead" and 19 other zombie stories if you, or anyone else, would like to read some great stories in this genre that were originally published in the 1930's.

BangZoom Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 When Jeff was casting about looking for stories to include in his book, I made a few suggestions. Here are a few of them.
