<B>Black Mask V12#7 and #9 "Maltese Falcon" Group (Fictioneers Inc., 1929).</B></I> The first and third installments of Dashiell Hammett's <B>The Maltese Falcon</B></I> are in these two pulps, and V12#7 is the first-ever appearance of intrepid P.I. Sam Spade. Serialized in <B>Black Mask </B></I>in 1929-30, released in book form in 1930, and filmed three times in the decade that followed, <B>The Maltese Falcon</B></I> redefined many of the conventions of the detective genre. Sam Spade only appeared in this novel and three other short stories, yet is widely considered to be the prototypical hard-boiled private detective. Featured here are the September (GD) and November (GD/VG) 1929 issues. The lower half of the spine of the September issue has flaked away, otherwise the books are in solid condition with supple pages, and are definite must-haves for pulp collectors and fans of detective fiction alike. Approximate Bookery's Guide to Pulps value for group = $1,000.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Unslabbed (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
