MrBedrock Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 There was a Terry and the Pirates Pop-Up book. I don't own a copy but here's a photo I found on the Internet. I want one of those too. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEyeSees Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 BZ, You must have the Laughing Dragon and Adventures of Tracy in all of those near mint BLB. The Laughing Dragon of Oz book is pictured below, center top row. Spectacular shot BZ. Your collection amazes me daily. Those BLBs all look to be in minty condition! I dabbled in them for a while, but realized its not really worth buying them unless they are in nice shape... most of mine are VG at best. I hope to pick some more up in the future, but I'll be much more selective next time around. RE: new books, I just saw the new Basil Wolverton book, reprinting all original art from Glenn Bray's collection, and its really great. All reproduced from original art, and very early rare sci-fi strips and humor illustrations I'd never seen before. Highly recommended! Thanks for the great photos!

Theagenes Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Very cool! I always track those pop-up books when they show up on ebay, but have yet to pull the trigger. One of these days. Speaking of Buck Rogers though, I did just pick up this from a dealer in Australia of all places.

Thats one issue I don't own. BZ, I don't have any original Paul COVERS, but I'm always glad to show off the only original I do own of Paul's (from Famous Fantastic Mysteries, 1941). Sorry if you have seen this before... Seems to be increased interest in Paul these days ... when his art does come up at auction, it always finishes way out of my league!

That is cool! The best thing about picking up these AS pulps is getting to see all the amazing interior work by Paul that I've never seen before.

TheEyeSees Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 For me, it just doesn't get better than Paul. While not the best artist, he was 100% original, and his work has such period appeal to it. BZ, do you have any Paul gems lurking around? Maybe some obscure leaflet or something published by Gernsback? Some rare pulp covers by Paul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 How about some Christmas Spirit. This dates from my first Xmas. My apologies to the artist. I had to trim the edges from this tabloid version of the spirit. And this one has a pretty good story. My brother read his copies of the Xmas Parade so much the covers fell off. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 How about this...? Starting in 1929 Gernback published a series of booklets distributed by mail order at 10c each or 6 for 50c. They were issued in three groups of six. The first set was advertised in the November 1929 issue of Wonder Stories, the next set in the January 1930 issue and the last set in the June 1932 issue.
