The story, The Shadow of the Vulture, is historical fiction set during the Siege of Vienna.

BangZoom Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 This is one of my favorite Brundage covers of all. Beautiful copies, Todd. Magic Carpet is one of my favorite series and I too am a big fan of the October cover. It radiates a spirit of fantasy and adventure which I love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm also a fan of the cover above. It reminds me of real life adventurers Martin and Osa Johnson whose books I read as a child. I presently collect movie memorabilia from their films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 For example: The Johnson released films of their explorations from 1918-1937. This is a movie pressbook for their 1922 film Head Hunters of the South Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The two Brundage covers you like most are wonderful! (thumbs u I don’t think one needs to have appreciated good things as a child to appreciate them – I believe one just needs some education, although of course the fact that they have been part of our upbringing and important for us makes us love some things even more (no matter the age)… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Are all the stories related to pirates? Must have been difficult to find new ideas for each and ever issue… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Are all the stories related to pirates? Yep, the stories are pretty much all pirate related. Here's the contents to issue #3, as an example. Pirate Vengeance · Captain Dingle Red Sea Racket · J. Winchcombe-Taylor The Golden Galleon · J. Allan Dunn Captain Scarlet · Jack Covington Outlaws of the Air · George Allan Moffatt Pirate Deeds and Misdeeds · [Misc.] Fifteen Men on the Dead Man’s Chest Prize Contest Letters · The Readers The Treasure Hunt · [Misc.] Jolly Roger’s Log · [Misc.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Did you read a good portion of them? They make me curious, as while with "fantasy" and science fiction you have plenty of territories where the imagination can wonder, with pirate stories it takes a good writer to add variety and keep the title. I mean, most of Weird Tales stories were good to excellent, but I see pulps ranged really across all "genres" (assuming we want to label them).

BangZoom Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Did you read a good portion of them? I've read the editorial comments, letter columns and, years ago, a smattering of the stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 This week I plan on posting scans of a few stories that might loosely fall under the heading of Dreams and Nightmares. First up is a Bugs Bunny story illustrated by Tom Mckimson. The framing and perspective shots in some of the panels remind me of what Will Eisner might have drawn if he had been working for Dell.
