\""Pulpdom"A long-running pulp fanzine that recently made the move to being an online publication is Pulpdom<\/a><\/em>. Pulpdom<\/em> has a distinguished history that goes back many, many years under the editoriship of Camille “Caz” Cazedessus Jr<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The fanzine got its start as ERB-dom<\/em> in 1960, with Caz and Al Guillory Jr.<\/strong> as the editors and publishers. Clearly devoted to Edgar Rice Burroughs<\/strong>, Caz soon took over with the death of Al. He ran it for several years until ending publication in 1976 with No. 89.<\/p>\n

Caz later got back into publishing with a revival of The Fantasy Collector<\/em> with No. 201 in December 1988. It was renamed The Fantastic Collector<\/em> with No. 228, and soon re-incorporated ERB-dom<\/em> into the zine with No. 248 (double-billed as The Fantastic Collector<\/em> No. 248\/ERB-dom<\/em> No. 90). These zines reprinted classic pulp fiction from the early 20th century, usually of the “lost race,” high adventure, SF adventure types from Burroughs, A. Merrit<\/strong>, Talbot Mundy<\/strong>, H. Rider Haggard, H. Bedford-Jones<\/strong> and the like, along with articles and reviews on these types of pulp fiction (and of course Burroughs’ work).<\/p>\n

The last issue was The Fantastic Collector<\/em> No. 262\/ERB-dom<\/em> No. 104 in November 1996. In January 1997, the first issue of Pulpdom<\/em> appeared, billed as the “son of ERBdom<\/em>.” It continued reprinting classic fantastic stories from various early pulps such as Argosy<\/em>, All-Story<\/em>, and Blue Book<\/strong><\/em>, along with running articles and reviews. Some notable items were articles looking at the early years of Argosy<\/em>, Blue Book<\/em>, the origins of Tarzan<\/strong>, a revisit to Pellucidar, and more. Reprints included Burroughs’ original “Under the Moons of Mars,” various works by H. Bedford-Jones<\/strong>, Johnston McCulley<\/strong>, Ray Cummings<\/strong>, Merritt, and others.<\/p>\n

With issue #25, color covers and some color pages were included. And after 75 issues, Pulpdom<\/em> ended on August 2013. You can now order PDFs of back issues all the Pulpdom<\/em> issues for a reasonable cost.<\/p>\n

However, Pulpdom<\/em> is not dead. It continues as a PDF-zine called Pulpdom Online<\/em>. At this point seven issues have been put out. A lot of articles on Tarzan, but many others in recent issues, with reviews of recent pulp-related books and other materials.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never checked out Pulpdom<\/em>, please do so. It’s a great zine that focuses on an important area of pulp. The Pulpdom<\/a><\/em> website has an index of all the back issues, and info on purchasing the back issues is there. as well as Pulpdom Online<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
