Rare Pulps

Perfect day to get my original art back from framing!

Spider #1 - October 1933 - 4.5 OW pages

Another first issue, this time of the Spider 🕷️🕸️. Cover by Walter Baumhofer who also illustrated Doc Savage #1 (and all of the early Doc covers). Spider #1 was released the same month as the Batwoman Weird Tales issue 🦇 ♀️. What a fun month to be a pulp collector!

Weird Tales #1 - March 1923 - 0.5 CR/OW

If you know me, you know I absolutely love Weird Tales so this is one of my grails. This is the first state cover with the reversed color scheme. Classic case of "buy the book, not the grade". Back cover and last page are half gone, but the front presents beautifully. Big thanks to for the hookup on this one! 🙏

This one is staying locked up, but I'll have plenty others to bring next week to Pulpapalooza! Hope to see a lot of you there! 🍻
