A nice lot of 3 Serenades I got in this week, a later incarnation of The Illustrated Love Magazine (companion to Illustrated Detective/Mystery and The New Movie Magazine in the Tower line, sold for a dime at and published by Woolworth's).  They're a little grubby but holding together nice, and the insides are white as can be

Wonderful South Pacific cover❤️❤️

I saw that one in the HA Pulp Summit, a unique Love Story cover for sure.

Is Greenwood mentioned on the contents page as the artist?  I know him only from the girlie pulps, and checking at Galactic Central just now, am surprised to see no other attributions outside of the girlies except for some interior illos in Love Story all in 1931 (eight years previous to this one).

A couple of my copies of Greenwood covers (AFAIK he only worked on Henry Marcus pubs (50 dollars a cover?) in the mid-30s.

He is listed as the artist but wasn't around very long only 43 years in this world.

I didn't win this one at the Heritage Auction this week but did take the liberty to work with the auction image, Stephen Waite.  3rd in a five issue run that went from 33 to 34. 

Anybody have any of these? The magazine index is missing 3 of the five...

[Robot Man]

Just in. Is it just me or does this have a Matt Bakerish look to it?

Woof!

Love pulp?  Heaven knows I don't want to set any delicate personalities on edge by bandying the term around, but I'd say so

Not actually in my physical collection, but a fellow scanner picked this up for me and sent me the raw scans to skirt the international shipping costs, as I like the cover (artist unknown).  Twice a month schedule, the Miracle Library from Fleetway looks to be a mix of romance and crime or suspense:

This cover is cool.  It reminds me somewhere between a Ziff Davis cover and a foreign 50's movie poster.  I know that's random, but between what I collect it's how my mind works.

The above looks similar to the Sexton Blake detective series I've been collecting. Also were published twice a month. Here's my newest: June 1961. The 64-page booklets are easy on shelf space...

I've fought the urge to hit the BIN on quite a few of these lately. There's a lot of cool looking covers but soooo many issues, I'd probably not be able to stop!

This Red Circle pulp is on the way to my house, come to papa

Having trouble with the artist signature for the issue above now that I've got the book in hand, any chance somebody has better eyes than I do here? Timely/Atlas artist late 38
