The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Diabolical Dr. Demon!" page 7 - 9

 

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "Murder Mirage"_January, 1936

 Intriguing cover.  I love the color scheme.  The technique is beautiful.  What's left is whether the tale is any good.  I leave that to others to argue.  For me, the cover is wonderful.

Ep_09_The Tiger Cat

Midnight in Moscow #3 page 11

 

"All in the name of justice."

"The skinny fellow in the shabby suit?"

"Idiots."

!?!?!

"Hrmmm..."

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Diabolical Dr. Demon!" page 4 - 6

 

Saturday's random pulp cover: The Black Mask : "One Hour"_April 1, 1924

 

I found this bit of fun information on  

Up and Down These Mean Streets: The Official Website of Don Herron

"Perhaps the most interesting thing about this story is the editor’s notice that appears at the end of the story:

“The paintings from which the cover of any issue of The Black Mask is made will be sold to the highest bidder. Bids of less than $10.00 will, however, be rejected. All bids for covers prior to this time must be received by May 31^st; and all bids for covers published hereafter must be received within 30 days after the date of issue (i.e., bids for May cover by June 1^st, etc.). No printing of any kind appears on these original paintings; they make ideal pictures for your den or living room.” "

Ep_08_Stand In For Death

Midnight in Moscow #3 page 6

 

'Benedict Stark, a.k.a. The Prince of Evil.  Suddenly an inch shorter than his concubine.'

Midnight in Moscow #3 page 5

 

"Is this going anywhere interesting?"

Midnight in Moscow #3 page 4

 

"As I've frequently heard you say, 'Commit a crime, and the world is made of glass.' "

Midnight in Moscow #3 pages 2 & 3

 

"...you'd've been a puddle of flesh, blood and bone from your first foray into the dark."

Midnight in Moscow #3 page 1

 

'Getting There Is Half The Fun!'

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Diabolical Dr. Demon!" pages 1 - 3

 

Saturday's random pulp cover: The Phantom Detective : "Murder's Agent"_Summer 1953

 The final issue of the long running pulp.  Very uninspired cover to end this series on.  But that seems to happen to most of these titles, once they are of no use the effort just isn't put into the product.  A shame.

Ep_07_The White Pearls of Freedom

Midnight in Moscow #3

 

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 20

 

"And there she is, in all her glory."

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 19

 

"I've tasted shoes with more flavor."

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 18

 

"No second thoughts, no doubts, huh?"

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 17

 

"...or, as us girls like to call it, Hell."

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Diabolical Dr. Demon!"

 Issue 4.  Tune in each week... if you dare.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage "Repel": October, 1937

 Ah, Doc Savage at his scientific best.  The lack of gloves really makes me wonder how well that suit of his seals up, though.  Still, this cover foretells a smashing good adventure.

 Ep_06_The Man Who Talked With Death

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 16

 

"...men and women from all walks of life..."

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 15

 

"The answer, Mr. Grant, is an unqualified yes."

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 14

 

"... The Shadow has been an integral part in what's made this city a sager place to live decades."

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 13

 

"I'm such a fool."

 

Midnight in Moscow #2 page 12

 

"So this is our severance package, Chief?"

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "Princess of Death" pages 2 - 5

 And so ends issue 3 of the rightfully derided The Shadow by Archie Comics. 

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage "The Mental Wizard": March, 1937

 I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert on Doc Savage but it seems to me that he didn't have too many covers that had a woman on it.  Last week's featured Pat Savage in the foreground and this week we have, presumably, the enchantress "Z".  I guess you'll have to read the tale to find out.

"I almost feel sad for poor ol' Dr. Thorpe."
