Daily Pulp 0

[RedFury]

Back in December I started an Instagram account to post a daily pulp from my collection.  If you'd like to follow, the IG account is @pulphound

I've thought about maybe mirroring the posts here, but I'm not sure I could keep up with both.  But if I fell behind I suppose I could always catch up with multiple posts.  Anyway, thinking about it.

I don't use Instagram.  I do think we could use a regular daily post of some sort here in the pulp forums.  So I say go for it over here as well!

Post them here‼️ I never heard of intsigram , never want it or Facebook either

OK, so what I've been doing is grabbing a pulp from my collection every day and posting it on Instagram.  I'll try to mirror those posts here as well.

Instead of using a standard flat scan I've been taking photos of the pulps in a lighted photobox to give a more realistic and three-dimensional appearance.  I hope you enjoy them!

Weird Tales
August 1934

Cover by Margaret Brundage

One of my favorite pulp covers with just amazing colors and imagery.  Conan cover story for "The People of the Black Circle" by Robert E. Howard.

Black Book Detective
October 1934

Cover by Rafael Desoto

Stunning cover art on this one!

Science Wonder Stories
December 1929

Cover by Frank R. Paul

A stunning deep green cover by Frank R. Paul on this 7th issue of Science Wonder Stories, a bedsheet sized pulp by Gernsback.

Spicy Adventure Stories
June 1935

Cover by Harry Lemon Parkhurst

This is my favorite Spicy cover, but one that doesn't seem to get much attention. I love the composition of the scene and the palpable tension between the girl and the captor.

Everybody's Magazine
September 1918

Cover art by Ernest Fuhr

A gruesome but beautiful WWI cover, published during the war.  Inside, there's a story called "The War of 1938" where the writer not only predicts the first world war ending in November 1918, but a second one starting in 1938, off by one year.

Thrilling Love
January 1945

Cover by Earle K. Bergey

Christmas season 1944 with a V for Victory wreath on the door.

Magic Carpet
October 1933

Cover by Margaret Brundage

One of my favorite Brundage covers, this was on the newsstands at the same time as her classic Batwoman cover on Weird Tales.

Romance
August-September 1937

Cover by John Clymer

This issue of Romance has one of my all-time favorite pulp covers.

The word "romance" in the title is used in the more archaic sense of mystery, excitement, and adventure. The stories within are all historical adventures with just a touch of what we'd call romance.

All-Story Love
January 1950

I had posted this one on Christmas day on IG.

Did she also do the line art on the title illustration?  I really like that logo...

The logo was actually by J. Allen St. John.

Weird Tales
October 1933

The famous and classic "Batwoman" cover by Margaret Brundage! It illustrates The Vampire Master by Hugh Davidson, who is actually Edmond Hamilton. Hamilton was mostly known for his science fiction work and used the Davidson pseudonym for his horror stories.

There is a Conan story in this one, The Pool of the Black One. Also, there's a Cthulhu mythos story, The Festival, by H.P. Lovecraft.

Cover by Jerome Rozen

Some good covers on the early Nick Carters, and the first six or so have this nice triangular design.

Horror Stories
September 1937

Cover by John Newton Howitt

Reminds me of Mr. Freeze.

The nick carter character, in various forms, really had a quite astounding shelf life give how little known he is today.

Yes, something like 4,000+ appearances going back to the 1880s.  Heritage recently sold his very first appearance in a detective dime novel from back then.
