POPULAR DETECTIVE, February 1945
Wartime issue of “Thrilling Group” pulp has a GG-versus-Nazi cover. Artist unknown but possibly Sam Cherry. Condition: Fine but for small pieces of tape wrapped around spine heel to close one-inch tear along hinge. Text block is lightly yellowed but supple. As of recently, a desirable issue—though I can’t imagine why, unless it’s the cover […]

DOUBLE-ACTION DETECTIVE, October 1938, first issue
As a rule Columbia’s Double-Action pulps were nothing to write home about, but this first issue has a better-than-average author lineup and a nifty cover. Condition: Fine to Very Fine, the only real defect (a minor one) being a faint crease on the front cover’s bottom right. Otherwise a clean, tight, bright, glossy pulp with […]

RED STAR MYSTERY, October 1940
Featuring Don Diavolo, the Scarlet Wizard, in a book-length novel by Stuart Towne (actually Clayton Rawson). Cover by H. J. Ward. Condition: Very Good, maybe Very Good Plus. Nothing dramatically wrong with this, but it’s an aged copy with slight darkening of white covers, inside and outside. Text block is lightly yellowed but supple. Still […]
