adamstrange Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 FANTASTIC service BZ!! Thank you so much. That cover seems hard to track down. WOW. What an incredible copy you own. Just flawless, for a pulp or otherwise. Its a knock out! How is it even possible a copy that nice survived??? The freshness of these pulps and the beauty of the St John/Brundage covers is absolutely incredible. I have couple of them in this type of shape (and darn happy to have them) but I can't begin to think of what a run of these would look like.

All praise should go to the previous owners (especially the original owner) who took such nice care of these magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All praise goes to the previous owners (especially the original owner) who took such nice care of these magazines. It proves that we geeks/nerds have collecting ancestors!! These were the folks running fanzines on their mimeograph machines, and joining the Science Fiction League, listening to the Shadow on Mutual, etc. The main difference is they got to pay cover price for these beauties...

BangZoom Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 I noticed a mention over on the Comics General Forum of a site where you can make online jigsaw puzzles. Here's two I made from covers I scanned. Check them out. Captain America 26 Amazing Stories 1928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 December 1932 Wow. Wow. I do mean wow. It's only a rare, insanely high grade pulp from the 30s featuring the first appearance of one of the most important fictional characters of the last century. Post something interesting next time.

Scrooge Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 No kidding. Our stuff is more mundane. This Detective Fiction Weekly from Sept. 4, 1937 has a Bulldog Drummond story but more interesting is the back ad for Luckies. The world 70 years ago was indeed quite different.

BangZoom Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 The front cover to the afore mentioned pulp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Features in this issue include Robert E. Howard's Conan story, "The Tower of the Elephant." An editorial comment in the letter's column notes that the most popular story in the January issue, according to the reader's vote, was Howard's Conan story, "The Secret Citadel." It received more than twice the votes of its nearest competitor. The reader's second choice was the third installment of Otis Kline's interplanetary serial, "Buccaneers of Venus."

Scrooge Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 You know, silly me, for a while I didn't care for the cover to HoM # 1 but over time it's won me over. (thumbs u Here are a couple more examples of Pyles covers. Nothing flashy but they tend to stand out by their use of strong design and cover whites - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I was looking for one of the Tarzan books that BZ posted because I remembered the cover being signed by Paul Bernadier IIRC. Bernadier did the illo in the following 2-page crime spread in the June 22, 1935 issue of Detective Fiction Weekly - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 And finally, since BZ has been tapping into his pulp stacks, here are a couple that hopefully will hint at what I might be wanting to see next ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing flashy but they tend to stand out by their use of strong design and cover whites You're right, they are worth noting. I'm embarrassed to admit, I never paid much attention to his work before you mentioned him. He's actually very good. I've been looking at some of his covers on Adventure magazine and I'm very impressed. He's a throwback to illustrators from an earlier era. I wish I knew more about him.

Why is it as time progresses the women on these covers have more clothes added each time. I thought we were the ones that invented the sexual revolution. The next time someone pays homage to this cover she'll be covered head to toe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonds25 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Unreal!! I have several pulps in decent shape, but they're NOWHERE near as nice as yours. In fact, I've never seen any pulps in this nice of condition! (worship) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
