Dust Jacket Condition: FINE+ Near New DJ. A tough-as-nails, two-fisted mariner with a head of rocks and occasionally a heart of gold, Costigan began boxing his way through a variety of exotic seaports and adventure locales, becoming so popular in Fight Stories that the same editors began using additional Costigan episodes in their sister magazine Action Stories. July 1929 saw the debut of Sailor Steve Costigan in the pages of Fight Stories. After several minor successes and false starts, he struck gold again with a new series based on one of his favorite passions: boxing. Neither developed into ongoing series, however. In July of the same year, Argosy finally published one of Howard's stories, 'Crowd-Horror', which was also a boxing story.

The first story he sold to another magazine was 'The Apparition in the Prize Ring,' a boxing-related ghost story published in the magazine Ghost Stories.

'1929 was the year Howard broke out into other pulp markets, rather than just Weird Tales. The dust jacket is clean and crisp but has some sunning to the spine and spine joints. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. This copy is in Near FIne condition and has a Very Good+ to Near Fine- dust jacket. B&W and Color Illustrations Deluxe edition of 3500 unnumbered copies. Illustrated by George Barr (illustrator).
