\""PoliciaUPDATED 5.24.13<\/a><\/strong><\/span> | Yesterday we posted six new photos over on ThePulp.Net<\/a><\/strong>‘s pulp photos gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The earliest of the latest batch is 1913; one was from 1939; and three others from 1943. There was one from, probably, the early to mid-1940s.<\/p>\n

We could use your help on two of those photos.<\/p>\n

The 1939 photo was taken in San Antonio, Texas, at a newsstand selling Mexican newspapers and magazines. One of those magazines appears as if it could be a Spanish-language pulp. That’s a closeup of it at right.<\/p>\n

The cover appears to be that of Policia Detective<\/em> (or Police Detective<\/em>), with subtitles of “Teatros<\/em>” (Theater) and “Cines<\/em>” (cinemas). The cover art teases to “El espia<\/em> X-21″ (or “The Spy X-21”).<\/p>\n

Does anyone know anything about this magazine? Was it a pulp? Or was it something else?<\/p>\n

My second question concerns the image shown below. These women are clearly posing for comedic effect, wearing nightgowns, smoking cigarettes, holding a little brown jug (which isn’t visible in the detail above) and reading pulp magazines.<\/p>\n

\"Rangeland<\/p>\n

The Rangeland Romances<\/em>, at left, looks like the cover style used up until mid-1945. The magazine at right looks like a romance pulp, but the nameplate is obscured.<\/p>\n

Does anyone know the publication date for the Rangeland Romances<\/em>? Or recognize the pulp on the right?<\/p>\n

If anyone can provide answers, I’ll be happy to mail them a 4×6 print of the photo as a reward.<\/p>\n

\"Adventure  \"Rangeland<\/div>\n

Sheila Vanderbeek<\/strong>, over on PulpMags<\/a> at Yahoo Groups, recognized the artwork featured on the Policia Detective<\/em> magazine mentioned at the top of this post. It comes (slightly modified) from the January 1936 number of Adventure<\/em>. Hubert Rogers<\/a><\/strong> is the artist. That’s it pictured above left.<\/p>\n

Since it takes art from that issue of Adventure<\/em>, I wonder if Policia Detective<\/em> also reprints any of its stories?<\/p>\n

Also, Sheila solved the mystery of the Rangeland Romances<\/em> cover. It’s from the May 1944 number, and painted by Gloria Stoll Karn<\/a><\/strong>. The cover is above right. A big hat-tip to Sheila for tracking the cover down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
