Saturday's random pulp cover: Adventure: March, 1911

 

An 1911 edition of "Adventure" magazine.  Below is the original cover painting  before cleaning and after.  Love how they painted the masthead into the piece.

 

 

Before cleaning...

 

...and after.

 

Maybe I'm the only one who likes this kind of thing but I thought I'd share, nonetheless.

ON THE AIR: November 18, 1985

The Sunday Comics: Shadow Comics "The Riddle of Professor Mentalo!"

Let's start a new adventure.  From May 1946, "The Riddle of Professor Mentalo".

Saturday's random pulp cover: Wings: Outlaw Aces: November, 1932

Cool cover that pre-dates Arnold Schwarzenegger's scene from "The Eraser".  What's even cooler is that I found the original painting online.  I'm providing the before and after of the conversation process.  Enjoy.

"You've run out of time, Shadow!"

Justice Inc. #5 page 14

 

"Mocquino!  Show yourself, coward!"

Justice Inc. #5 page 13

 

"His death-trap is already sprung!"

Justice Inc. #5 page 12

 

"Warriors!  Terminate him!"

Justice Inc. #5 page 11

 

"No! It can't be!  You're dead!"

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow Comics "The Spider Boy" page 14

 

"We better call an ambulance!"

 

And so ends the sad tale of The Spider Boy.  Peter Parker really lucked out!

Saturday's random pulp cover: Adventure Magazine: Warden of the Zone: March 1943

 WOW!  Just... WOW!  Not much more adventurous than this.  Beautiful cover.  From the composition to the colors to the spot on rendering.  Just gorgeous.

  This is the Canadian publication and the stories are reprinted from the October 1942 American edition but the cover artwork is entirely different.

"Out of the way, mad dog!!"

Saturday's random pulp cover: The Scorpion: Satan's Incubator: April/May 1939

 

This is apparently the only issue of The Scorpion.  A pretty generic pulp cover, but I like that tattoo across the antagonist's face.  I know nothing about this character but it looks like he has a crew that looks like him, right down to the scorpion tat.
