I picked these up at my local monthly Con here in DC, the condition of these was such that I could not pass them up, these bedsheets are still very supple. I love how they phrase it "Scientific Fiction".

And they originally pharased it "Scientifiction".  Editor Hugo Gernsback is credited with creating the term science fiction, but it took a few tries to get there.

Love it, my copy is January 1932 is your copy later? Interesting to see Hugo work through the coining of the term.

Mine is the Sep 1928 issue.  I'm not sure when Gernsback first used the term "scientifiction", but I looked through my covers and saw an earlier appearance of the term on the Apr 1928 issue.

Not exactly pulps, but I think people here would still find them interesting:

Neat!  I've never heard of those stories, but I've certainly heard of the author. :)

Today's trio: two aviation pulps and a western:

This Range Riders features the same artwork later used on the Popular Library paperback number 166 - "Sky Pilot Cowboy" by Walt Coburn - a common practice by publishers and always fun to make the connection.

And some of these Dare-Devil Aces covers are as busy as a Schomburg Timely or Nedor!

Also from Summer 1942, the Fantastic Adventures quarterly.  Burroughs might not be as high demand as he used to be, but it's still always a treat to get a pulp with his work in it:

Who is credited as the cover artist on this book?

The book says "Cover designs by Frank Durban and Jay Jackson".  Neither of those names are particularly familiar to me.  One of the credits is probably for the back cover.

I am not familiar with them either. I'll have to look them up.

Your post reminded me of this photo I snagged off the internet a long time ago with some FA Quarterlies in great shape -
