Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention Auction
Glenn Lord estate auction
From Doug Ellis:
Here's one of the unique items that will be in the Glenn Lord estate auction being held on Friday night, April 6, 2018, at the upcoming Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (April 6-8, 2018, at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center).
Back in 1968, Donald M. Grant published his third collection of stories by Robert E. Howard, following "A Gent From Bear Creek" and "The Pride of Bear Creek." Entitled "Red Shadows," it printed Howard's stories of Solomon Kane. For this project, Grant enlisted the talents of artist Jeff Jones, who painted the art for the cover as well as three interior plates (a fourth plate reprinted the cover art).
In the auction is this item, which I think is an uncut proof sheet of the dust jacket and the interior plates. It would look great framed and on the wall!

Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention Auction
Glenn Lord estate auction
From Doug Ellis:
Besides pulps, the Glenn Lord estate auction being held on Friday night, April 6, 2018, at the upcoming Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (April 6-8, 2018, at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center) contains a number of rare fanzines.
Among them are several issues of The Phantagraph from the mid-1930's, which for much of its run was edited by Don Wollheim. The three issues, and one supplement, that I'll post here are among them. Many pros contributed to these, most notably H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. The issues in the auction contain two installments of Howard's "The Hyborian Age."

Glenn Lord estate auction
From Doug Ellis:
Among the rare pulps in the Glenn Lord estate auction being held on Friday night, April 6, 2018, at the upcoming Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (April 6-8, 2018, at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center) are these four.
Nickel Detective (which was a title change from Popular Fiction Magazine, which in turn was a title change from Man Stories), ran for six issues from January to August 1933, before changing title to Strange Detective Stories. Under that latter title, it lasted four issues, from November 1933 to February 1934. The auction will include the August 1933 issue of Nickel Detective, as well as the November 1933, December 1933 and February 1934 issues of Strange Detective Stories. The last two of those feature stories by Conan author Robert E. Howard.

Also among these issues are two copies of the November 1935 issue, featuring the Conan story, "Shadows in Zamboula," both of which are shown here. The image on the left is the U.S. edition, while the image on the right -- which is heavily censored by a text block! -- is the Canadian edition.
