Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Bedtime Stories, February 1937


A Valentine's Day-related pulp cover by H.J. Ward. I don't know much at all about BEDTIME STORIES except that it looks pretty risque for the era and that Robert Leslie Bellem wrote for it, including a story in this issue. The names of the other authors mean absolutely nothing to me.

Did you find this one scanned anywhere?

February 1937 was my mother's birth month...I get sentimental thus...

--All the other credited writers seem to have only appeared in Spicy titles and their stablemates. I suspect Ziff-Davis/paperback series level of house naming.

I just used what I found in the FMI. I agree, all those other names sound like house-names. Some of them could even be Bellem. Or all of them.
