Saturday Morning Cat-toons: The Cat Of Steel and The Dark Kit

Because, gosh darn it, we want web traffic and we’ve been told there’s nothing better to get traffic than cute cat videos:

Wait– we’re supposed to run cute cat videos on Fridays? We thought we were aware of all Internet traditions, but this is news to us. Perhaps we should take down the… aw, look at them playing with the thing on a stick!

Where were we? Never mind. Go look at the cats, and wonder why DC licensed these costumes in the first place.

Meet ThePulp.Net

  • 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.

The National Capital Panthans, founded in September 1996, are the Washington D.C., Baltimore, Annapolis and Northern Virginia area Chapter of the Burroughs Bibliophiles. Meetings are generally held on the firs…t Sunday of the month and are hosted by various members in their homes.

There are approximately 50 members from around the United States and one each from England, Canada and Germany. The Panthans hosted the 1998 Burroughs Bibliophiles Dum-Dum, the 1999 and 2003 ECOF Gatherings, and will again host the 2006 ECOF in Rockville, MD. Generally so many members go to ERB fan conventions hosted by others that the Panthans can be counted on to assist with registration. The Panthans have published a book, entitled “ERB – The Second Century,” which includes fan-produced fiction, scholarly deductions and many great illustrations!

Newsarama sold to TopTenReviews

  • News
  • October 27, 2009

Here we go again.

Newsarama, the long-running comics news site, has been purchased by
TopTenReviews, a content aggregation site out of Ogden, Utah, it was announced today. The site, along with Space.com, and LiveScience, were sold by Imaginova, a web publisher which purchased Newsarama in 2007.

Although Imaginova purchased Newsarama with an eye to beefing up
their consumer offerings, improvements seemed hard to come by,
with complaints from readers and their own bloggers about formats and technological issues along the
way. The bumpy fit was at least partially responsible for the original Blog@Newsarama team jumping ship to reform as Robot6 at CBR, which seems to have taken the lead in readership in that time.

The move will probably increase TopTenReviews pages served by about 15-20%.

What could make life interesting is TopTenReviews review contributor system. One wonders if it’ll be applied to Newsarama, and if so, what new voices will be heard.

The Superest by Matthew Sutter and Kevin Cornell will move from web to print in an illustrated book to be published by Kensington. The strip is described as a world of “colorful super-heroes, where each hero’s dominant (often quirky and humorous) power serves to supplant his nemesis, although the same power acts as his Achilles heel when battling the successive super-hero.” No publication has been announced.
