It would be a Crime not to post your Detective Pulps 6 6

I saw some nuts results for standout DFW covers last year for sure.  That one definitely stands out Your copy's really got nice color, too, in the way yellow can get deep when it's not too grubby.

I've got one of the Judson Phillips Park Avenue Hunt Club issues, but the cover isn't *quite* as exciting

Posted this on the pb thread but guess here's where it belongs with an interior pic as well...

Amazing Detective Cases, April 1944. An early usage of the Atlas logo. I believe Human Torch #14 from December 1943 was the first. This usage is parallel with Goodman's mid 1940's crime digests...

 

Some nice interiors, especially the fonts on story title pages...

This cool two page splash illo by 1940's pro Arnold Allen

I think five comics had the early Atlas Logo, no idea what order they came out in.  I've only got one of them:

Startling Detective Adventures, September 1939. Stockton Mulford bondage cover. Brilliant colors on this one.

Now on auction at Ha's May pulp auction.

Incredible colors on this October 1933 Startling Detective. Must have spent the last 90 years on shelves in dark cabinets and closets

Just the cover, no book.  Saw on a bookstore wall and had to have it.

Nice! I’d buy it too. Over the years, I have bought two collections of covers only. I’m mostly a cover guy so the combination of a very affordable price and dwindling storage space, they are perfect for me.
