I really, really want to frame a poster in my office that is either a classic pulp cover (something like Weird Tales or Doc Savage), or a very old comic book cover. It's got to be the actual cover, price and logo and all, not just an iconic coverish picture.

But surprisingly, I can't really find a source online.

Does anybody know of a source for this type of thing?

No, but back in the '80s I saw a lovely poster reproduction of FF#1.

I've considered having it done myself from some sort of commercial scanner/printer. But I think they would have copyright issues (and probably should).

Although, if I picked a really old one and used an original, it may have expired or something.

You are not breaking any copyright by enlarging a cover for your own private use.

Maybe, I haven't looked into it. But if I pay a company to do it, they may be in a different boat.

How about a "Chapter Serial" poster? Plenty of those available, like Zorro, or Flash Gordon, etc.

Yes, you might have to inquire first in that case.

Those would be definite candidates. Do they have those?

Here in Charlotte, at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find, they had comic cover blown up to poster size and mounted on foamcore and hang them in the store.

This site has many pulp magazine covers reproduced as posters. Reasonable prices, too.

Graphitti Designs also has a number of prints for sale, but they're expensive.

AmazWAN has a couple of Doc Savage covers available as prints. Low prices, too!

You're welcome. I think I may get the "Doc Savage vs. the Devil" cover from Amazon for myself. That was the very last issue of the Doc Savage magazine.

Possibly, but I only allow flesh and blood ones into our community.
