Only one copy is known to exist of this rare ashcan, which preceded the launch of Spicy Mystery Stories the following month.

This cover marks 25,000 posts here at PulpCovers.com since we started 15 years ago. It has been a blast sharing all these publications with you over that time, and let’s hope we make it to 50,000 posts!

Harlem Stories #2, August 1932

The second and final issue. One of the scarcest pulp titles of all, this represented a cross-section between the “girly pulps” of the 1920s and the ongoing Harlem Renaissance; this was also a rare instance of a pulp series focused primarily (and positively) on Black people. Bookery’s notes the series as “very rare”, stating that “only a few known copies of each” exist today and that this second issue is “even rarer” than the first, and very little information exists online about the contents of each.
