LIM leaped from 118 to 65 on the Top Web Comics poll Wednesday, thanks to all your votes. Remember, you can vote every day. But in appreciation, here’s a little bonus:

Digging through some boxes of pulps, I found something I forgot I had: Real Detective Tales and Mystery Stories for August 1926. It’s a bed-sheet size pulp, 8.5 x 11, with 96 pages. If your pulp history is a little rusty, this was originally the sister publication of Weird Tales. Both were edited by Edwin Baird. When the owner of the magazines, Jacob Henneberger, decided he could only go with one of the two, he chose Weird Tales. Baird, as part of the deal, went with RDS, thus opening the way for Farnsworth Wright to exert his enormous influence on the course of weird fiction

Arthur Burks gets the cover spot, but Seabury Quinn and Robert Leslie Bellem also have stories inside. The magazine hung on until May, 1931. Weird Tales, despite near constant financial woes, didn’t give up the ghost until September, 1954.
