\"'PulpPulp Adventures #23<\/em> (Fall 2016) begins the third year of this revised pulp fanzine from Bold Venture Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As always, we get a collection of classic and New Pulp fiction (with some notes) and even some pulp comics, under a George Rozen<\/strong> cover (a detective one, from a spicy pulp).<\/p>\n

In the area of old pulp, we start off with “Luck” by Theodore Roscoe<\/strong>, which appeared in Short Stories<\/em> in 1941. This one is set at a horse track. We also get an short article on Roscoe, who is probably best known for his series about Thibault Corley<\/strong> of the Foreign Legion, which has been reprinted by Altus Press<\/a>. Bold Venture is planning on reprinting some other books by Roscoe in 2017, and has reprinted a biography on him as well.<\/p>\n

We also get a Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective<\/strong> story from spicy author Robert Leslie Bellem<\/strong> that appeared in Hollywood Detective<\/em> in 1946, which is featured on the cover. There is also a sidebar that explains the terms Bellem uses in his stories. Feel free to impress your friends with your new vocabulary!<\/p>\n

There is also a story set in a circus that comes from Thrilling Publications’s West<\/em> in 1948. The artwork included with this story was pretty interesting. I wonder what other work Sam Cherry<\/strong> did?<\/p>\n

A very different reprint is an article by Charles Dickens<\/strong>, written several years after A Christmas Carol<\/em>, that appeared in Dickens’ own weekly magazine that ran from 1850 to 1859. This came from 1851.<\/p>\n

In the area of New Pulp fiction, we have a sf tale with a very different hero created by TJ Morris<\/strong>. In “Legends of LA,” we get a ordinary man in post WWI Hollwood becomes Quirt<\/strong>, a western-style vigilante to stand up to the Mob. Wonder if we’ll see more stories with this character? And Richard A. Lupoff<\/strong> has another story, a recent one of crime in a summer camp.<\/p>\n

Adam Beau McFarlane<\/strong> returns with a third new Sherlock Holmes<\/strong> story, this time a holiday themed one where Holmes helps Ebeneezer Scrooge<\/strong> with another ghost.<\/p>\n

And not to leave out comics, unlike the last issue we just get one page of such at the end. A kind of poor man’s Ripley’s, “Adventure Thrills” is from Thrilling Adventures<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The next issue is coming in February, and I look forward to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
