\"'PulpPulp Adventures<\/em> #22 (Summer 2016) is the eighth issue of the new version from Bold Venture Press<\/a>, and completes two years of this zine. \u00a0And I had just gotten out a review on the previous issue<\/a>!<\/p>\n

This time we get a collection of classic and New Pulp<\/a> fiction (with some notes) and even some pulp comics, under a H.L. Park<\/strong> cover (a science fiction one). No Norman Saunders<\/strong> cover this time, gasp! There is a reason why, though.<\/p>\n

In my view, this blend of new and old pulp fiction (with occasional pre-pulp and post-pulp) that doesn’t focus on one genre \u2014 we get science fiction, aviation, crime & detective, and a little horror in this one \u2014 makes this one of the best pulp-fiction fanzines coming out now.<\/p>\n

We get some non-fiction as well, tied to some of the stories. As always, you might not like everything that appears in an issue, but I know you will like something. We even get some pulp comics this time!<\/p>\n

The cover artwork actually ties to one of the main stories of this issue: a reprint from Planet Stories<\/em> in 1945: “The Great Green Blight.” Clearly a science fiction tale set in the future, with slavers praying on spaceliners. There is an accompanying article on the author that follows. Another reprint from the original pulps is a detective story from Black Book Detective<\/em> in 1943. This is also accompanied by an article on the author.<\/p>\n

For new stories, the big one is “The Tethers” from Stuart Hopen<\/strong>, which he illustrated. This is an weird-menace aviation tale set in Cuba. Hopen has a unique style that may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but check him out.<\/p>\n

Other new stories are by Richard A. Lupoff<\/strong> and Nick Xylas<\/strong>. Lupoff’s is a different little tale set in the post-Civil War west about petroglyphes. Xylas’ is a tale of a bail bondsman after a fugitive \u2014 in Egypt. From Adam Beau McFarlane<\/strong> we get another new Sherlock Holmes<\/strong> story. This is a “Holmes versus Jack the Ripper”<\/strong> tale.<\/p>\n

And I had mentioned pulp comics. We get a couple of short comic stories. From Public Enemy<\/em> we get a two-page story, that is more an illustrated story than a comic story. And from Thrilling Adventures<\/em> we get a three-page story that is part of a long serialized story similar to Flash Gordon<\/strong> or Buck Rogers<\/strong>. Like to see more of this series in future issues.<\/p>\n

So yet another great issue. The next one comes out in November. Can’t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
