E. Van Vogt, L. Ron Hubbard and other farsighted visionaries...

I find them quite awesome, it is fun to see the more rare cooler ones. I bought a short box of late 40’s to 50’s Sci Fi ones because I think the covers are cool and I find a lot of the stories from that era good reads. Got a few bedsheets too

Here are sort sorts of reading material I am able to find quite inexpensively, which I find amazing. I don’t run across the Catman ones, but maybe someday?

Just to spice things up a bit, here's a Thrilling Wonder Stories that I've had for years, but haven't posted anywhere before...




Note: Image isn't as crisp as I'd like, but that's because it hasn't been scanned on my HP Scanjet 8300. Alas, this is a typical iPad "shaky-cam" shot.

True, Street & Smith repurposed some of George Rozen's Shadow pulp cover paintings for the early issues of the 1940 comic. Painted covers, especially by well established pulp artists, add another level of newsstand appeal to those books in my estimation.
