Weird Tales, Aug 1929

Just upgraded to this one.  1st appearance of King Kull by Robert E. Howard in the story The Shadow Kingdom.

 

Here is a little something which I acquired recently. It was part of a lot so I didn't pay close attention at first, but then

a) I realized this was REH's handwriting and not the teller/banker's.

b) Then I checked the dates, sales and payments received by Howard, and voilà: this is very probably the bank receipt for the check he cashed for "The Shadow Kingdom".

I scan them a little bright to make them really pop, but I also try to only buy nice clean bright books to begin with. 

Forgot to mention this is a Norman Saunders cover too, and as we know, he's great!

That “no long continued stories” blurb is interesting.  Surely the more common “all stories complete “ would work better, unless they were either saying they had no long stories at all, or were continuing a short story as a bait & switch to get people to buy the next issue.

Finally have caught up on this thread.  285 pages is a bit of reading, but it sure is a pleasure!

I only have a handful of pulps.  Finlay appealed to me the most as I'm more of a line-art kinda guy than brush and paint.  This one has been with me for a while and scratches a very big itch.

That is a stunning cover by Finlay, isn't it?

Glad you enjoyed the run through the thread, it's too bad so many images were lost in the Photobucket fiasco.

Yep. Virgil signed it bottom right corner.  Almost hidden, isn't it?

The Photophucket problem has hurt MANY of the threads.  I've never trusted third parties to be responsible for my digital files.  Hopefully everyone else is learning...
