BangZoom Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 I know Frank very well. I have seen his collection a number of times. Dwight, do you know when Frank's collection is scheduled to be auctioned and if John Gunnison is still planning on publishing a Photo-Journal type of book of the covers?

detective35 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 BZ, He probably will not have the collection ready to sell until July. I talked with John yesterday for about a half hour, and yes he is certainly going to be putting out Gerber like book for Frank's collection. I will let you know when the collection is good to go.

Scrooge Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Probably worth of a post here. Link was shared on PulpMags. Just finished watching the video and while nothing new is revealed, it's great to be able to see and hear Gibson tell the facts in his own words. 30 Minutes interview with Walter Gibson - Walter Gibson and The Shadow TV Interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Calhoun Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 A nice thing about the old classics is that they exist in any number of charming editions: ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ - an 1886 novella by Robert Louis Stevenson - being a perfect example. Here is one from 1930 with decorated boards and endpapers and excellent illustrations… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Sold at U. S. newsstands are about a dozen pulp magazines with such titles as Amazing Stories, Astounding Stones, Startling Stories, Strange Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Thrilling Wonder Stones, Unknown, Marvel Science Stories, Weird Tales. In the pulp trade they are known as "pseudo-scientifics" or "scientifiction." This week in Manhattan this amazing group of publications produced an amazing show: a convention of their fans.

I never said it had a happy ending. There's been a tremendous amount of progress in the acceptance of science fiction since those early days.

There's been a tremendous amount of progress in the acceptance of science fiction since those early days. Certainly. I was simply taken aback a bit by the turn the article took. Why dedicate the space to it if that's how it is written. Wouldn't it be better left alone? I just found it saddening and disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Was posting some Norman Saunders covers in another thread here: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4657844&fpart=9 Decided to use the search function to see what had already been posted on him and found nothing! I remember Pat putting up his copy of the Golden Amazon. Wondered if you BZ, or you Pat had any pulps or paperbacks with Saunders covers?
