ACE POTPOURRI

LITERATURE - OF A SORT

Listed according to the ACE Letter-Number series classification. I have separated them according to ACE DOUBLES and ACE SINGLES. Since many of these are difficult to classify (for example - ACE has a subgenre called Gothic - which ranges from the occult to mystery to romance), I have tried to separate out the distinct Mystery and Western titles and placed them in the appropriate pages (see the complete listing of ACE Mystery and Western singles by clicking on the hot links). However, you may still find some that might be in either location (for example, look at the E. R. Burroughs "Mucker" and other series), so please bear with me on this issue.

A very good reference (well-indexed and written) on TV Tie-In volumes (some by ACE ) is by Kurt Peers (1999, 2nd edition) TV Tie-Ins: A bibliography of American TV tie-in paperbacks. TV Books, NY, 364 pp. This volume (paperback) is available from Bibliosession@mindspring.com.

Thanks and have fun!

K-175 VIRGINIA COFFMAN Moura (1963; ACE Gothic Novel)

Original cover art for K-175. Attributed to Lou Marchetti (1920-1992). Gouache on illustration board, overall size is 20.5 x 15, image size is 18.5 x 12.5. Though this painting portrays the usual genre trappings of a gothic novel (i.e. stormy / windy night, a single light shining in the foreboding castle in the distance), this is an unusual gothic cover, as it depicts 2 women instead of the normal lone damsel in distress. The relationship of the two women, based strictly on the artwork, is left up to the viewers perception.

An ACE image library user, the son-in-law of the artist Lou Marchetti, indicates that his wife remembers that she and her mother posed for this painting.

This suggests a series of ACE Gothic stories chosen for reprinting in a numerical series. I have few of these and will continue to look for more.

48990 DORIS MILES DISNEY Look Back On Murder (ACE Gothic Mystery)

49560 FRANCES J. S. EDEN The Love Gift (c. 1970, nd; might be 1st thus; ACE Nurse Romance Series)

Nurse stories were common in the D- and F-series of ACE singles. This appears to represent a revival of interest with a special grouping. Note the series title at the top of the cover - "ACE Nurse Romance Series." I believe this was done because of other publishers (e.g. Lance, McFadden. etc.) who also released a number of these nurse-related stories during the late 1960's and early 1970's.
