Pulpfest

On August 6, 2022, PulpFest will be offering more than 200 lots of pulps, digests, vintage paperbacks, men’s adventure magazines, and more from the collection of the late Carl Joecks.

Acquired over many years, Mr. Joecks stored his collection in a darkened room. Most of his magazines were bagged with backing boards and stored flat for additional protection.

PulpFest 50 will be auctioning Carl Joecks’ pulps, digest magazines, men’s adventure and true crime magazines, plus a selection of joke and gag books and other material. The convention will also be selling a number of vintage paperbacks and assorted collectibles, including several “Ace Doubles,” one of them being the very first double paperback issued by the company. The auction will also feature a small number of comic books and, possibly, some collectible hardcover books.
