Meet ThePulp.Net

  • Uncategorized
  • October 25, 2011

ThePulp.Net is a fan-produced Web site devoted to the pulp magazines of the 1890s through the 1950s. ThePulp.Net debuted March 26, 1996, as .Pulp on America Online. Its initial concept was for a Web site devoted to The Shadow. But eventually that changed to encompass additional pulp characters and books.

From the TPN site, “In mid-1995, we found it difficult to track down Web sites about pulp magazines. You had to search Yahoo (there wasn’t a Google then) and otherwise just surf the Net looking for pulp-related sites. Out of that frustration grew the seed for ThePulp.Net.”

.Pulp started with links pages to Web sites devoted to The Shadow, Doc Savage and The Spider and a page to other pulp-related sites, plus a brief history of the pulps that was originally published in 1979. In July 1998, ThePulp.Net got its own domain name and really began to grow.

In addition to turning 10 years old in 2006, ThePulp.Net celebrated another milestone in January 2006 when the site surpassed 500,000 visitors. It is their hope that it won’t take another 10 years to reach one million visitors to the site. ThePulp.Net was created to help pulp fans increase their enjoyment of the pulp magazines.

In addition to information on the heyday of the pulps as well as new pulp, you can find links to other pulp sites, pulp publishers, blogs, websites, character bios, and more. ThePulp.Net is a treasure trove of pulp information.

PULP ARK, the official New Pulp Convention, debuted in Batesville, Arkansas on May 13-15, 2011.  Due to the initial success of the format and comments made by both guests and attendees, PULP ARK decided to offer its programming, from panels to classrooms to rather unique programming aspects, such as a live action play in the midst of the show, to other Conventions and Shows.  PULP ARK announces that the first convention that will host New Pulp Traveling Con Programming is the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention (www.memphiscfc.com) October 14-16, 2011 in Memphis, Tennessee!

This plan, according to Tommy Hancock, PULP ARK Founder and Coordinator was not restricted to Pulp themed shows. “As a matter of fact,” Hancock reports, “the original discussions that prompted this among Pulp Ark guests, many of them creators in both Pulps and Comics as well as other mediums, focused on offering this unique programming to Non Pulp Shows, like Comic and Fantasy conventions, old time radio conventions, genre specific shows, and so on.  So we’re extremely excited to be a part of the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention and so far they’re as excited as we are to have us!”

The line up for NEW PULP Programming is a stellar one.  Hancock, listed as PULP GUEST OF HONOR on the con’s site states that the real talent are those who are coming with him.  “Super Hero Pulp author extraordinaire Van Plexico and Author of Pulp Epics Wayne Reinagel will be there to do panels and take part in the programming.  Also, Erwin K. Roberts of Planetary Stories and Pulp Spirit, among others, as well as Don Thomas, author, and Pete Cooper, artist of Pro Se Productions will be there to work their wondrous magic.  This will be a weekend of panels, classrooms, plays, theater, and most of all camaraderie.”

For the schedule of New Pulp Panels as well as all the other goodness that will be at the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention, check out the website at www.memphiscfc.com!   Come out and see what NEW PULP has to do with Comics and Fantasy! You might be surprised and actually learn something!

Captain Philip Strange’s Strange War

  • Uncategorized
  • October 9, 2011

Age of Aces launches Captain Philip Strange: Strange War.
http://www.ageofaces.net/our-books/captain-philip-strange-strange-war/

In Donald E. Keyhoe’s imaginings, the stormy skies of World War I are filled with giant pterodactyls, mystic fireballs and demon aces. But America has its own unnatural secret weapon: Captain Philip Strange. A mental marvel from birth, he was so terrifyingly effective that the Allies referred to him as “The Phantom Ace of G-2.” But to the Germans he was “The Brain-Devil,” whose penetrating green eyes were both a legend and a nightmare.

Keyhoe’s Philip Strange stories ran for nine years—from 1931 through 1939—in the pages of Flying Aces magazine. This first volume in our new series contains six exciting tales of terror skies! It also features an introduction by Sid Bradd and is beautifully wrapped up in an exciting new design by Chris Kalb!

Stories include:

  • “Cocardes of Courage” – Flying Aces, September 1931
  • “The Drome of Dread” – Flying Aces, November 1931
  • “The Red Demon” – Flying Aces, July 1932
  • “Scourge of the Skies” – Flying Aces, November 1932
  • “Vengeance of V-99” – Flying Aces, February 1933
  • “The Unholy Horror” – Flying Aces, July 1933

Plus:

  • “Donald E. Keyhoe and the Brain-Devil of G-2″ by Sidney H. Bradd
  • A Bibliography of all Philip Strange’s Adventures
  • An exciting book design by Chris Kalb.
$16.99 | 6″x9″ trade paperback | 346pp | ISBN:978-0-9820950-8-9

Here Comes Space Kid!

  • News
  • October 7, 2011

Space kid – honorary deputy of the Space Patrol!

Space Kid! is a pulpy, old-school, retro-sci-fi, all-ages fun-and-adventure weekly webcomic by John MacLeod. Launched in June 2010, Space Kid is a weekly web comic with a new page posted every Sunday — all previous pages are still up and easily viewable so you can read Space Kid’s adventures from the beginning at http://www.spacekidcomics.com/.

If you like your sci fi mixed with pulpy fun, then give Space Kid a shot.

About Space Kid:

Welcome to the 26th century — as viewed from 1950.

Space Kid! was inspired by artist John MacLeod catching sight of a graphic on a T-shirt: a retro-cartoony style drawing of a big-headed boy in a classic retro bubble-helmet spacesuit. That drawing suddenly triggered a huge wave of flashbacks to the sci-fi junk from the 50s and 60s that he grew up on and loved. Things like The Jetsons, Adam Strange, Marine Boy, Magnus: Robot Fighter, most of the Supermarionation shows, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Perry Rhodan, and other Googie visions of the future that saturated the pop culture of those days, and which he found so much fun and so terribly exciting as a kid. And more flashbacks, to things from the old days which he didn’t discover until much later, like the 50s sci-fi work of Osamu Tezuka and Cyborg 009 and Star Blazers and Dan Dare. According to MacLeod, You will find echoes of all these [and probably lots more] in Space Kid!
