I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours! 23 23

Actually have half an hour of free time (very rare) so starting to get some photos of some of the pulps I’ve been buying.

Detective Tales June 1952. I think the crime pulps are my favorites.

Visually, this is an interesting device to narrow the frame and direct the viewer's attention to the threatened victim. Very compelling!

Digging some Crime books myself... some H.J. Ward bondage

Two items in today.  The first is this, which is actually pages from six issues put together to form a complete copy of the story.  Pretty nicely done, and was only $10.

And this one speaks for itself.  If this isn't recognized as a classic cover yet it's certainly working it's way there quickly, I think almost everybody who has seen a copy on this thread has instantly wanted one for themselves:

Always love me the Crime pulps!

Virgil Finlay is really growing on me. 
 

 

I’ve always been in the pulp collectors camp that although his covers at times may be very good his b&w Illo.’s are off the charts. (Picked his female work for Rick.) 
 

Probably one of the best to ever do b&w illustrations. I never miss color when I see his work like this. Just awesome...

How about some Tarzan Finlay from Argosy?

Let me get some coffee first...

Went to Pulp AdventureCon yesterday and came home with the cool original by Lee Brown Coye.  Not sure if it was published.  It's dated 1976 and says on the back it's for the M.P. Shiel story "The House of Sounds".  Coye did illustrate an anthology of classic weird lit, Dying of Fright, in 1976, but that story wasn't included.  Maybe it was planned but didn't make the final cut?

Nice - posting this because it's a fun Coye cover (and a great book), but really wanted to say 'The House of Sounds' is a phenomenal short story - a reprise of 'The Fall of the House of Usher' done to a turn and then some. A must read !!!

Thanks for the recommendation, Pat!  I already had it queued up to read, but now I'm really looking forward to it.

I've got to get around to reading this...

Coye did the interior illustrations for Derleth’s Sleep No More 1944 edition. The House of Sounds was one of the stories included. Any idea what his illo. for that story was like?
