This issue is really an all-star cast of writers. <br /><br />Bedford-Jones is a favorite. At the time of this issue editorial requirements at his primary markets let him to turn out more novelettes. He did some wonderful stories about this time for Adventure.<br /><br />Thinking about it now, I think Faust's stories under the George Challis name average a much higher satisfaction score for me than Max Brand.Richard Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770090814220403413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-3885466387839403962013-01-13T23:51:26.941-06:002013-01-13T23:51:26.941-06:00I took a look at my copy of the magazine because I...I took a look at my copy of the magazine because I started to wonder, just who is the artist of this cover? It's signed by Emmett Watson who lived 1892-1955 and was quite a prolific cover artist doing many covers for the Munsey pulps(Argosy and Detective Fiction Weekly) and also such slicks as The Saturday Evening Post.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-59717415947887516682013-01-13T18:06:10.689-06:002013-01-13T18:06:10.689-06:00I love H.

That means I probably will read it eventually. I've heard that it's good, too.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-75408682424248741612013-01-13T12:16:11.068-06:002013-01-13T12:16:11.068-06:00Beautiful issue with a star-studded lineup of auth...Beautiful issue with a star-studded lineup of authors.<br /><br />James, have you read Faust/Challis/Brand's The Smoking Land? That's supposed to be the multi-monikered author's only "Lost Race" novel and quite good.<br /><br />John HockingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-12874897402260138062013-01-13T11:58:53.429-06:002013-01-13T11:58:53.429-06:00That's a fine cover, all right.That's a fine cover, all right.
