Jim Main<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Pulp Fan<\/a><\/em> #8, dated Fall 2023, arrived recently. This issue is themed around \u201cpulp characters on the big screen,\u201d starting with another great pair of covers by Tim Faurote<\/a><\/strong> and includes a great trio of articles and lots of art.<\/p>\n

\"Pulp<\/a>Like other issues, it is printed on slick paper with color covers and interiors, running around 40 pages in total.<\/p>\n

From Will Murray<\/a><\/strong> is a long article on Walter Gibson<\/a><\/strong> and his creation of The Shadow<\/a><\/strong> and his views of the movie adaptions starting with the pair from Grand National: The Shadow Strikes<\/em> and International Crime<\/em>. Some of these movie adaptions were based on his works. This is a kind of different take on The Shadow movies, as it is as much an article on Gibson as it is on the movies.<\/p>\n

The Spider<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s movie serials is the subject of Michael F. Housel<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s article. These are The Spider\u2019s Web<\/em> and The Return of the Spider<\/em>. As it may not be easy for some to see both of these serials, this is a good overview of both.<\/p>\n

Whether or not the Doc Savage<\/a><\/strong> movie is good or bad is the subject of Dennis Kininger<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s article. Many fans have a dim view of this campy movie by George Pal<\/a><\/strong>. I think he did a good job of going into detail on this movie.<\/p>\n

We get several Frank Hamilton<\/a><\/strong> pieces, but not as many new pieces of art. All three articles do include several stills and other pieces from the movies being discussed.<\/p>\n

This is another great issue, and as is noted in the editorial, Jim has now equaled his other pulp fanzine, the excellent Zine of Bronze<\/a><\/em>, which lasted eight issues.<\/p>\n

Pulp Fan<\/em> #9 is planned and all we know is it will feature two early pulp characters who are still getting new stories. Wonder who those are? Can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
