The Maltese Closet |

 The first issue from Sept. 1931. When Clayton went bankrupt in 1933, the title was sold to Street and Smith, where it became Astounding Science Fiction and eventually came under the editorship of John Campbell. In the 50s, the title was changed, again, to Analog.

 The Oct. 1940 issue that featured the story
"Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates. |
 A first printing from 1972 published by Popular Library. This first series of the title reprinted the original stories from the 30s. The second series also included new stories written by Ron Goulart, among others.

 An abortive attempt by Disney to cash in on the Weird Menace pulps. Fortunately, only this single cover remains.
|
 Besides the title feature, this issue also features a rare SF story by Landall Bartlett that had only seen publication in the 20s as a give-away from Amazing Stories.
Cover by John Pound. |
 Volume 6 of the Dennis McMillan reprinting of Frederic Brown's work.
Paperback. |
 A social satire originally published in 1934, this is the cover of the 1952 Avon printing. The cover says it all.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. |
 An all Fawcett issue, although the Ibis story is from Charlton in 1955. The Spy Smasher story is entitled, "Why I Did Not Kill Hitler."
A must have item! |
 Another 80 pages of the world's wackiest comic from 1967.
|
 By this point, the San Diego Comic-Con was split between the Hotel San Diego and the old San Diego Convention Center. It was still possible to shop the dealer's room in one day and even to go back for seconds!
|
 Could not resist this back cover to the '86 Comic-Con program. Part of a series that could be called, "Marvel's Greatest Disasters."
|
 More from the Weisinger era and 1964. Features "A Great Three-Part Novel...The Team of Luthor and Brainiac!"
