Hey Cat, love that piece! I actually had my eye on it as well when it came up for auction. I know that most of Margaret's pulp work was done in pastel which is why very little has survived, that piece looks like it might be gouache, do you know?

This looks like a gouache composition given the opaqueness and vibrancy of color application.  Part of the appeal of gouache art is that it retains the subtle transparency of watercolor while providing the capability of greater color richness of oil via the opaqueness of the chalk binding. It’s also a more durable medium than watercolor and pastels.

C-M_A,

Are you a Criteron movie streaming subscriber?

I'm not that much of an advocate for streaming classic films, but we do stream current films and series television.  

Here's another absolute favorite that I've had since early this year (highly recommended!)...

 Note: I prefer collecting HD media in anticipation of the next zombie apocalypse interrupting transmission!  :insane:

This was my biggie this year, MTE # 23 original cover by Big John. This was among one of the first comics I ever read ( unless you count Archie digests)  & a big part of why I  started to collect comics all those years ago. My recommendation if you have never read the original REH Conan tales you should, they  are amazing!

My favorite acquisition this year was a pair of pulps I first saw in Steranko's History of Comics nearly 50 years ago, when I was a wee lad. Villain pulps have always intrigued me, with the unusual focus on the antagonist.  I've toyed with collecting pulps on and off since I was a teen-ager (It was Shadow pulps back then), inevitably selling what I've accumulated as I decide that it's not really a dragon I want to continue chasing, and perhaps will end up selling these before long, but for now I enjoy having them, and may even get around to reading themxD The big selling point on these are the near-white pages, which anyone who has bought pulps knows, are rarer in this medium than with GA comic books.

Also collected this year, something appealing to both the pulp and fine art side this impressive fantasy work by Margaret Brundage...

Cat, that’s fantastic!! I’d love to get a Brundage Weird Tales OA cover, but prices are just too stratospheric for mere mortals.
