1992 Kitchen Sink Press Bizarre Detective 36 Card Uncut Sheet Pulp Cover Art For Sale

BADGER’S STATEMENT:

TRUE CRIME BEFORE TRUE CRIME WAS A PERSONALITY TRAIT. Welcome to the wonderfully chaotic world of vintage pulp fiction, where every detective wore a fedora, every woman was apparently in immediate danger, and absolutely nobody believed in subtle cover art. This original 1992 Kitchen Sink Press Bizarre Detective uncut trading card sheet features 36 gloriously dramatic reproductions of vintage detective, gangster and mystery magazine covers from the 1930s and 1940s. We're talking Spicy Mystery, Dime Detective, Gun Molls, Ten Detective Aces and enough femme fatale energy to make a film noir director spontaneously combust. The illustrations are serving Old Hollywood scandal meets Sin City meets your favorite underground vintage shop. The typography alone deserves its own exhibition.

Forget collecting individual trading cards when you can have the entire visual experience in one glorious sheet. This original Kitchen Sink Press production preserves all 36 illustrated card fronts in their uncut format, with the corresponding numbered descriptions, pulp fiction excerpts and historical commentary by Bill Blackbeard printed on the reverse. Copyright dated 1992. The sheet shows light storage and handling wear, including minor edge and corner imperfections; please examine the photographs for its exact condition. An excellent addition to a vintage advertising collection, pulp fiction archive, gallery wall or personal museum of beautifully questionable Americana. Because apparently graphic designers in the 1930s woke up every morning and chose absolute cinematic violence.
