BangZoom Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 This one isn't a zombie story but I like the wacky illustration. "Give Me Your Soul" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Some of these illustrations are definitely a bit disturbing… The page quality of your 1930s pulps inversely looks dreamy… (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 I believe I was using a fluorescent reading lamp for illumination when I took the photographs of those pulps. That technique, I've found, is very helpful in presenting the pages at their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 "Zombie Killer" by George Vandegrift Horror Stories (February 1941) Without the knife, this could easily be a Shadow illo - though the Shadow rarely bothered with hand to hand combat preferring picking off his battles or letting his twin .45's do the work. I do not recall any zombie tales within the Shadow canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Now for a change of pace. This is the complete run of Tales of Danger and Daring. Tales of Danger and Daring (March 1929) Cool pulp Bang! I've never seen any of this title. I like this one best. Are you printing these in your basement???

RedFury Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Here is a look at Planet Stories #1 (Winter 1939) Cover illo by Albert Drake I love this book. This was one of my early eBay finds, probably in 1997 or 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFury Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The Phantom sometimes gets credit for being the first costumed hero to ever appear in comic books. Let's take a look at his first appearance which was in Ace Comics #11 (February 1938). It's a pretty tough book to find. Here's my old copy that I parted with a couple of years ago. I was always tempted to crack it open and read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFury Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Here's a grouping of my copies of the St. John covers from Nov '32 to May '33. The first four illustrate Kline's Buccaneers of Venus, the last two Williamson's Golden Blood. The May '33 issue is a transitional on from a design perspective. It's the last issue with the red masthead, and the first issue with the new title letter design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 One of the things that is so appealing about Planet Stories is the work of the various artists who illustrated covers for them. Here is a sampling: Frank Paul Planet Stories (Fall 1941) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
