Theagenes Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Okay, time for another shameless plug. One of the main reasons I was on that weird westerns panel at Worldcon was because I just had an article I co-authored with REH biographer Mark Finn called "Vaqueros and Vampires in the Pulps: Robert E. Howard and the Dawn of the Undead West" published in the new essay collection Undead in the West II: They Just Keep Coming (Scarecrow Press). It's a fun book on weird westerns with an introduction by William Nolan (Logan's Run) discussing Max Brand's proto-weird westerns in the pulps and chapters on Joe R. Lansdale, Stephen King's Gunslinger, GA weird western comics like Ghost Rider and Space Western, etc. Check it out if you're into this sort of thing. http://www.amazon.com/Undead-West-II-They-Coming/dp/0810892642 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 And I should mention, BangZoom and Red Fury both got name-dropped in the footnotes as they very graciously provided some scans of the WT letter columns that we needed.

BangZoom Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 had 3 as of beginning of binge in May. have bought 31 more (3 big $s on ebay today from UK) of which have 26 in hand. so 2 above 24 below (all the newbies) Very nice. Your books certainly aren't ones we typically see here on the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat-Man_America Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 you, femme, and Wilson 'Bob' Tucker Alas, I can't recall the lass's name, but I'll never forget that chainmaille costume! [font:Times New Roman]Bob & I became good friends over the years, sharing Beam's Choice green label with fans at more SF conventions than I can remember, ...which kinda goes hand in hand with imbibing lots of Beam's Choice.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 If you look close you can see Roger's reflection in the glass above the art. A fleeting glimpse of the collector in his native habitat! I'm always watching. Great collection. Do you have a gallery on comicartfans.com?

BangZoom Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Another day and another sighting of a comic book in an episode of 77 Sunset Strip. This latest sighting is of Looney Tunes #244 (Feb/Mar 1962) during a viewing of "Falling Stars" (originally broadcast January 4, 1963). The actor seen above is Paul Winchell who was a well known ventriloquist at the time and also a part time inventor. Winchell developed over 30 patents in his lifetime. He invented an artificial heart with the assistance of Dr. Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the Heimlich Maneuver, and held the first patent for such a device.

Pat Calhoun Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 2 more ‘mushrooms' have come in SPHERO NOVA by John Glasby with Arthur Roberts- Curtis Warren 1952- cover by Ray Theobald. Another interplanetary epic from an author (Glasby) who was an astronomer as well as a smooth storyteller. When he says ‘turn left at the Magellenic Clouds then straight on to Andromeda’ it sounds convincing. THE STARS ARE OURS by Kenneth Bulmer- Panther 1953- cover by John Richards. The galactic controllers unleash their robots to keep the uppity humans in line, but… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Pat, your paperback collection is amazing and it's really starting to tempt me. But the last thing I need is another area to collect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 2 more ‘mushrooms' have come in You're picking up those British books so quickly you'll need to start collecting something else before long to give yourself a new challenge.

Pat Calhoun Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 yeah- it's gonna slow down after the 3 ebay biggies come in next week (will post!) all Curtis Warren 'Lion Library' (with the nicer cardboard -vs paper- covers) 1 Hughes, 1 Fearn, 1 Glasby. Grand total broke down to $37 each - happy holidays. next challenge may be more reading (read Zenith-D -Glasby- fun!) & mayhap some writing. I have the Harbottle & Holland British SF 1946-1956 bibliography (invaluable!) so see the extent of the jungle era. updated group shot includes one of the incoming 3- Bio-Muton. Will post the Gordon Davies madness big when get. But yes, tuning in on a whole 'new wave' of '50s SF is a blast! and haven't really broken the bank too hard. Here's to mycoology!

Who really knows how many such titles were published in the UK. Collecting over her as far less developed than in the States at the time. just finding some of these will take a lifetime. Good hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
