As mentioned on Friday, the Saturday Night Auction returns to PulpFest on July 23. It will begin at 10 PM with the always entertaining John P. Gunnison of Adventure House serving as auctioneer. In addition to a number of early Arkham House books — including a very exceptional copy of H. P. Lovecraft’s THE OUTSIDER AND OTHERS — we’ll have over two hundred pulps from the collection of Woody Hagadish. On Saturday and today, we’ve been showing a sampling of the pulps from this collection.
The excitement will continue on Monday, when we offer a look at the massive collection of pioneering comic book dealer Ron Killian. It will be debuting at this year’s convention. So please visit pulpcon.org tomorrow for yet more collectible books and magazines.
Pictured below are some of the books and pulps that we’ll be offering in the PulpFest 2016 Saturday Night Auction.
A selection of LARIAT
A selection of general fiction pulps, including ARGOSY and BLUE BOOK
A selection of sports pulps, including a number featuring boxing covers
Romance magazines, including a number of issues of LOVE STORY MAGAZINE
THE NIGHT MASTER, Robert Sampson’s classic study of The Shadow, with book plate signed by the author and artist
In addition to the pulps, we’ll also have three Street & Smith subscription premiums from the Hagadish estate. You’ll find scans of all three premiums in our auction post from Friday, July 8.
Don’t forget to stop back on Monday when we’ll be offering a peek at the collection of Ron Killian. No wonder PulpFest 2016 is going to be “Summer’s AMAZING Pulp Con.” We look forward to seeing you in less than two weeks at the Hyatt Regency and the Greater Columbus Convention Center. You’ll have a FANTASTIC time with an auction like this!
