Vintage fantasy science fiction pulp magazine Famous Fantastic Mysteries w- Fantastic Novels August 1941
$24.00
This is a “good” vintage “standard” format pulp magazine published in 1941, cover date August, cover price 15 cents, 128 newsprint pages.
Includes the complete 112 page novel by A. Merritt “The Metal Monster”.
Cover art by Virgil Finlay.
Spine is solid, no loose or folded pages, no writing internally, no tears, edges are just ever so mildly tanned. Cover colors are bright and uniform, front and back, with the back cover showing just some light tanning to the white background along the spine edge. Cover edges and overhangs are bumped, with many small closed tears and some chipping. There is one 1 1/2″ closed tear at the bottom of the front cover near the outer edge lower corner (see images). Name neatly penciled in the yellow background of the cover masthead along with a date (?) and “Read”, otherwise no discerned writing externally or internally.
Overall, a still very pleasing copy, with great cover art by one of the masters of the era.
See the accompanying images for table of contents & full condition details.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged, with tracking.
