Private Detective Stories July 1938



Great H.J. Ward cover for Private Detective, the use of decreasing light and increasing shadow from left to right particularly struck me. This issue looks to be in great shape with white pages. The cover scene is so well done that it was reused for the first issue of Speed Detective, albeit from a different angle. Click photo to view details/buy.

Triple-X magazine July 1929

For a pulp that lasted more than a hundred issues, copies of Triple-X are surprisingly hard to find. The Triple-X stood for air, war and west stories, and in this issue you get all 3 in one story and one cover - a cowboy fighting a German aviator in the sky. Click photo for details/to buy.

Pulp Deals - What this site is about

From time to time, I come across cool pulps for sale, that for one reason or another don't fit into my collection. Maybe it's a duplicate, maybe it's something i don't collect. I thought you'd like to see and maybe even buy them. If you do buy them, I sometimes get a small commission. Know a cool pulp I'm missing?
