Weird Tales?

[Jaggy Jai]

Where can you find some of the original versions of the old pulp stories....in reprints or whatever?

I'm not sure this belongs with graphic novels and such, but... In answer to your question, there are tons of anthologies which have collected together stories from the pulps, including several devoted either exclusively to Weird Tales, or to "The Unique Magazine" and its competitors (Strange Tales, Tales of Magic and Mystery, etc.) I've got several, if this is what you're asking about.

On the other hand, if you're looking for facsimile reprints of the original pulps, I don't think there have actually been any of those, as the copyrights would be a real tangle; but a few might have been done over the years. You might look into the things offered by Wildside Press, as they've revived some of the old pulp titles in their catalogue, and may have some facsimiles they've done.

If the anthologies mentioned above are what you're looking for, let me know, and I'll give you a list of titles to look for; many of them show up in second-hand shops quite frequently.

Jaggy Jai -- if you're interested in some of the revived pulp titles through Wildside, here's the link to check them out:

You might especially note the Best of WT anthology for 1923 (WT's first year of publication) and The Moon Terror anthology, which was the bane of WT's existence until shortly before it ceased publication for the first time in the 1950s. If you're interested in a history of the pulp, Weinberg's volume while, having some flaws I understand, is nonetheless very informative and helpful.

Enjoy!
