\""PulpOne of the pulp fanzines I got when I first was involved in pulp fandom was Doug Ellis<\/strong>‘ excellent Pulp Vault<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Put out under his Tattered Pages Press name, the later Pulp Vault<\/em> issues were high-quality zines. Sadly, the last issue I obtained was a double number, 12\/13. I only have a couple of others (#10 and #11). During its run it was able to put out an unpublished Whisperer<\/strong> novel over two issues, and the last unpublished Doctor Death<\/strong> novel over two issues. It would be 15 years later \u2014 now involved with Black Dog Book<\/a>s \u2014 that Doug would finally come out with Pulp Vault<\/em> #14.<\/p>\n

A large-size issue, Pulp Vault<\/em> #14 has a lot of great stuff.<\/p>\n

For non-fiction, we have:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0An in-depth article on Blue Book<\/em>, a long-running pulp that existed for 70 years.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Robert Weinberg<\/strong>, pulp expert and author, takes a look at Strange Stories<\/em>, a short-lived rival to Weird Tales<\/em>, and what stories might have appeared in the unpublished issues.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Will Murray<\/strong>, pulp researcher, takes a look at the short-lived pulp, The Thrill Book<\/em>. The article includes all 16 issues. Adventure House<\/a> is doing a complete reprint of The Thrill Book<\/em> in two to three volumes, the first of which is out.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Rick Lai<\/strong>, researcher and author, gives us an article on George Worts<\/strong>‘ character, Singapore Sammy<\/strong>. Black Dog Books has put out a reprint of the first five stories (from Short Stories<\/em>) of the South Seas adventurer, which have never been reprinted before, and a second book that reprints the first half of the stories from Argosy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Pulp artist Norman Saunders<\/strong> gets a retrospective from his son, David<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Pulp giant Hugh B. Cave<\/strong> had several reminiscences in past Pulp Vaults<\/em>, and he contributed one more before he passed away.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Pulpster Robert Barbour Johnson<\/strong> was a contributor to Weird Tales<\/em> in the ’30s and ’40s. In the 1970s he wrote an account of this career to be published in Robert Weinberg’s pulp fanzine Pulp<\/em>, but was never published. Now we get it.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Western pulp author J. Edward Leithead<\/strong>, who wrote in the ’20s and ’30s, and wrote an account of this in 1967. It appears here for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Pulp researcher Link Hullar<\/strong> gives a retrospect of artist Frank Hamilton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And more.<\/p>\n

For fiction, we get two reprints and an original work:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0From The Popular Magazine<\/em> in 1922, we get “The Splendor of Asia” by L. Adams Beck<\/strong>, an adventure novel set in the Himalayas with lost cities, treasure and more.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0A jungle tale by Hugh B. Cave, “The Flaming Skull” from Popular Fiction<\/em> in 1931.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0For the first time we get “The Giant and the Dinosaur” by Donald Wandrei<\/strong>. This is an unpublished story of his scientific detective, Cyrus North<\/strong>, who had six stories in Clues Detective<\/em> in 1938 and ’39. Wandrei created North after having ended the I.V. Frost<\/strong> character, recently reprinted. Included with the story is an article on the character. I hope someone reprints the rest of these stories.<\/p>\n

Overall, a great issue. I wish we could see reprints of the past issues, or maybe a “Best of” issue. I hope it won’t be 15 years until we see Pulp Vault<\/em> #15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
