However, I like your version, too, Dan.

Rex Maxon (under the name of R. Hayden), well-known as the artist who drew the Tarzan newspaper strip for many years and also the first issue of Dell's TUROK, SON OF STONE, Four-color #596, was responsible for the art on K BAR KATE.Robert R.

Most of the pulp publishers were also comics publishers, even as most of the pulp publishers were at least taking some shot at paperback publishing. But comics in the pulps never seemed to do too well for the magazines that tried it...if I wanted comics, I'd buy comics off the same rack. OUT OF THIS WORLD ADVENTURES is the most famous sf/fantasy pulp to try it in all two of its Avon issues, for example.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-39116247619346175922019-06-01T07:35:29.529-05:002019-06-01T07:35:29.529-05:00Most of the Spicy pulps had comics sections.

There was another series called Sally the Sleuth, and SPICY WESTERN had Polly of the Plains. I think some of the other pulp publishers used comics sections, as well, but I'm not as familiar with them.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-51417968463192581772019-06-01T07:26:19.187-05:002019-06-01T07:26:19.187-05:00I find the 16 pages of included comics amusing.
