One in a series of posts via which Josh Glenn will share recent examples of stuff that he was tempted to purchase via eBay… but, heroically, didn’t.
A MARTIAN ODYSSEY by Stanley Weinbaum – WONDER STORIES July 1934 pulp excerpt
FROM THE COLLECTION OF FORREST J ACKERMAN.
WONDER STORIES July 1934 pulp excerpt (not the complete pulp, the separate story pages only which were cut out of the pulp many years ago) of the complete story A MARTIAN ODYSSEY by Stanley Weinbaum.
US $25.00
OK, I did purchase this one. This is one of my favorite Frank R. Paul illustrations, from one of my favorite (late) Radium Age sf stories. And Forrest J Ackerman — whose histories of pulp sf I’ve read and re-read — was involved with this artifact too? That’s a trifecta.
