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

A little “pulp drunk” today. Just got home. Me and a couple of boardies got lucky today. Photos coming later. 

Will be doing a cool show report thread over in my Son of my 50 year Junk Obsecession later.

Went to the 41st annual Los Angeles Vintage Paperback Show today. Had the pleasure to visit with boardies Robot Man and Hap Hazard, plus I saw several comic book dealers were in attendance.

The show would have been a complete dud for me (I don’t collect paperbacks), BUT one dealer and his wife drove from the East Coast to setup and they had a wonderful selection of pulps across all genres. Some great stuff, I gladly spent hours sifting through product and selecting samples of the best pulps.

Scans coming up later...

Starting out small, literally...

Arkham Sampler 1#1, white pages. The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath (part 1) by Lovecraft.

This issue was published in an edition of only 1,200 copies. The title had an 8 issue run, it‘s common for there to be rust at the three staples. This beautiful copy appears to be unread.

For a pulp that’s 100+ years old, this copy has great pages.

Take a look at the Table of Contents for something special.

Here's some goodies I picked up at the LA Paperback show,

 Pocket pulp Magazines, by 1950 pulps were in trouble and Trojan experimented by printing pulps in digest size. Must not of been successful most were the last

or only issue.

One more for now, As a Tarzan guy I've been looking for this one for a while.

Thrilling Adventures  June 1940 with Tarzan and the Jungle Murders, by 1940 Tarzan had been around the jungle a few times and ERB had some trouble selling this

Tarzan story finally sold it to this 3rd string adventure pulp. Must not of sold to well tough to find.

The Samplers always a great read and true they all seem to have rusty staples.

Two Hugh B. Cave vampire cover stories, Stragella and Murgunstrumm, and both are really good.  Strange Tales was packed with great stuff.  Congrats!

I was on the fence with this one, but Robot Man brought me to my senses...
