I'm not surprised the art did double duty. A lot of Western pulp covers wound up on Western paperbacks a few years later. It's very cool that you own the painting for this one.<br /><br />Jerry, we don't have cable, but I put THE YOUNG SAVAGES on our Netflix queue. Amazon lists the fourth volume in that Dick Tracy series but says that it's currently unavailable, and there are no copies on ABE, so I suspect you're right that it may not exist.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-89362886675890618912012-05-07T09:40:57.754-05:002012-05-07T09:40:57.754-05:00Wow, nice haul!Wow, nice haul!Rittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145597443811879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-92176992701637747602012-05-07T09:22:31.029-05:002012-05-07T09:22:31.029-05:00The film version of A MATTER OF CONVICTION was tit...The film version of A MATTER OF CONVICTION was titled THE YOUNG SAVAGES. Because serendipity rules the universe, it's on tonight (actually tomorrow morning) at 1:00 a.m. on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). <br /><br />I've had MEN'S ADVENTURE MAGAZINES for several years but have never gotten around to reading the text. Each time I have tried to, I've been diverted by the artwork. Hours pass.<br /><br />A fourth volume of The Collins Case Files was supposed to have been published, but I have never seen a copy, making me wonder if the series ended with number 3. Collins did a fantastic job making the comic strip fresh. I tried to continue reading the strip after he left but my interest soon faded.Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-77977507490382261972012-05-07T09:00:53.115-05:002012-05-07T09:00:53.115-05:00This is an excellent post full of interesting book...This is an excellent post full of interesting books and covers. I'm friends with Rich Oberg who provided the original paintings and illustrations for the book, MENS ADVENTURE MAGAZINES. I collect these artifacts of the 1950's and 1960's strictly for the artwork and covers, which often show Nazis partying with girls in their underwear. Unfortunately I've yet to be able to read the magazines. I understand an anthology will soon be out and maybe I'll find the stories readable.<br /><br />One interesting thing about the Ace Double by Tom West, GUNSMOKE GOLD, is that I have the original painting for the cover. It's by Norman Saunders and has been used twice: once on the pulp WESTERN ACES, for the issue dated May 1948 and then reused on the Ace Double shown above.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-6490215405060591112012-05-07T07:25:19.415-05:002012-05-07T07:25:19.415-05:00Pretty good haul.

The Buettner was good and it di put me in mind of Heinlein, in the respect that it's straight forward adventure SF.<br /><br />You're right about Reilly. He said once it's his expressed intent to ramp up the action in his books, trying to top each one that comes out. SCARECROW featuring the same character blows up a ship and several helicopters in the first sixty pages or so and he calls it a slow day. I haven't even thought of picking up the new one.Randy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627907086811387527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-18781838523357300592012-05-07T06:54:09.730-05:002012-05-07T06:54:09.730-05:00This is priceless stuff, Mr. Reasoner.
