Ah, the old gorilla blood transfer. Great cover that I've never seen. I have a lot of these. I collect them for the covers and there seem to be a lot of cool covers in this title. I also love the "2 for 5 cents" stamp. We can only dream...

 

OK, if we're doing Thrilling Mysteries...

 

I think I posted this one a while back, but it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle:

Yeah, we can dream about 2 for 5c pulps, can't we? Although I did only pay $10 for that issue, I think; and the page quality is amazing. So nearly that good a price once you adjust for inflation, at least in spirit.

And a couple new ones:

 

Shadow_1947_09_zpskw8v5xwj.jpg

 

Notable for having one of the shortest Shadow "novels" in the entire run; a mere 47 pages compared to 74 for Never Marry Murder by "Peter Reed", a house name which in this case is being used by John D. MacDonald. I have no idea why the pseudonym, since he doesn't have another story in the issue.

 

Astounding_39-11_zps0uofjgsc.jpg

 

Obviously this one starts off with part of "Gray Lensman", quite possibly THE classic space opera. It also has Heinlein's second story, "Misfit", and de Camp, del Rey, and Hubbard all have stories or articles in here as well. And that isn't even that unusual a line-up for Astounding in the 1939-1942 run. What an incredible run of issues Astounding was those years.

Here's a couple of my favorite Thrilling Mystery pulps. I especially love the cover of the crazy guy on the May issue!

I used to have the TM issue with the guy with his hands severed off cover - an REH story inside too if I recall. Dang I should've kept that one.

here's a recent pick up

Phantom Detective 1/35

 

Nice one! I really do need to track down at least one Phantom Detective at some point, just to say I've seen one. Given how long the series ran it seems to get lost next to most of the other Hero Pulp characters.

[font:Arial Black]I think BZ has a sharp copy of every cool pulp cover.

 

Here is the Copy of Thrilling Mystery that I picked up last year at Windy City.

The colors on it were so sharp that I initially had to take a double take at it as I thought it was a reprint.[/font]

 

[font:Arial Black]What a killer cover image, and an REH story too boot![/font]
