BangZoom Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 This is a page from the December issue's letter column. From this sample you can get a sense of the controversy Brundage's covers were beginning to generate among the readership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Americans have always been too uptight about nudity. Think of all the beautiful covers we would have had even more of, if this wasn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 In a 1973 interview, Margaret Brundage described this as being her most controversial Weird Tales cover. Margaret Brundage interview. Awesome! I've been out in the woods all week digging holes so I'm just now getting caught up. Great Weird Tales pulps this week! I've just started working on the Conan covers myself, but they just don't come around in this kind of condition anymore - amazing as always! Jeff Which one is Conan? I remember him being a bit more manly in the Bronze Age.... He's in the story somewhere I'm pretty sure. Although Conan stories made the cover of WT on nine issues, Conan himself only appeared on three of them (see my av). Usually it was a naked girl in bondage being threatened/whipped/etc. by a evil sorcerer/evil femme fatale/cobras/etc. senza Conan. Sex sells.

ciorac Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I've always enjoyed seeing old photos of collectors and their comics so I thought there might be some of you that would like to see the same. I've added a couple of new pics to one of my slideshows. The first photograph is of me reading Zorro, one of my favorite comic books at that time. The second photo pictures me in the summer of 1963, posing with my Superman collection . This was a few months before I discovered comic fandom. Slideshow Can you post the pics? I still can't get it to work. Are you using IE 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Great looking covers, BB. Who is the artist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 The turkey cover was by Fred Craft and the Kid Wolf Xmas cover was by H.W.Scott. Most of the Wild West Weekly issues featured characters like Kid Wolf, Sonny Tabor, Cowboys from the Circle J, Senor Red Mask, Oklahoma Kid and the Silver Kid. My father used to keep a big box of western pulps under his bed. He saved them for years but were lost when we moved to Ohio in the sixties. I imagine he grew up reading them and didn't want people to know he still had them. Pretty good characters in the stories I think. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
