BLACK MASK, August 1936

Outstanding issue from near the end of this classic pulp’s peak period, with Joseph T. “Cap” Shaw still as editor and the “hardboiled” school of crime fiction in its prime. Popular series characters represented in stories include Fred Nebel’s Kennedy and MacBride, W. T. Ballard’s Red Drake, Roger Torrey’s George Killeen, and Nels Leroy Jorgensen’s Black Burton. Cover by John Drew. Condition: Near Fine. Some edge wear in the form of light creasing and short closed tears (see scan), but overall a clean, tight, above-average copy. Spine is complete and bright white. Text block is off-white to very lightly yellowed and supple.
