\"'Echoes<\/a>The fanzine Echoes<\/a><\/em> ran from 1982 to 2002, before the advent of print-on-demand changed pulp fan publishing and ushered in the current New Pulp<\/a> era.<\/p>\n

Echoes<\/em> was published by Tom<\/strong> and Ginger Johnson<\/strong> for 100 issues and then for a period of time it was an “newszine.” Its last new issue was Echoes Revisited<\/em>, published in 2002 as a 20th anniversary special issue. This one had a color cover (The Shadow<\/strong> by David Burton<\/strong>) and special binding. There were also 100 numbered copies.<\/p>\n

This issue celebrates Echoes<\/em> with a collection of articles new and old, along with several art portfolios and photocopies of some pulp covers. Sadly, I don’t know which articles are reprints, or from where, nor where some of these articles have appeared since. The articles are grouped by their authors.<\/p>\n

From pulp historian Nick Carr<\/strong> we get articles on Dan Fowler<\/strong> and Crimson Mask<\/strong> (now being reprinted by Altus Press<\/a>), along with an article on the 10 best G-8<\/strong> novels.<\/p>\n

Will Murray<\/strong>, pulp historian and the current Kenneth Robeson<\/strong>, gives us some interesting articles. One gives the beginning of several Lester Dent<\/strong> chapter ones, another looks at some of Thrilling’s mask heroes, such as the Purple Scar<\/strong>. And then we get a look at the authors of The Phantom Detective<\/strong>, which I hope was incorporated into The Phantom Detective Handbook<\/em> Murray and Johnson did.<\/p>\n

Murray has an intro to several articles by early pulp fan and collector Rex Ward<\/strong>. His articles include ones on G-8 and setting him in World War II, and The Shadow’s greatest story locales.<\/p>\n

Pulp heroes aren’t the only focus, with articles on science fiction, sports, and western magazines and characters.<\/p>\n

Michael A. Black<\/strong>, creator of Doc Savage<\/strong> pastiche Doc Atlas<\/strong>, contributes an article on the Man of Bronze.<\/p>\n

H. Rider Haggard<\/strong>‘s immortal She<\/strong> is the subject of an article by Gary Lovisi<\/strong>. This one also covers all the paperback editions of the various She<\/em> novels up to that time.<\/p>\n

We also get an article on The Avenger<\/strong> and whether he is a killer. And Tom Johnson has a couple of articles, one on the Corinth\/Regency pulp reprints. \u00a0There is also an article on a novel that appears to be a re-write of the first Green Ghost<\/strong> novel by G.T. Flemings-Robert that appeared in the 1940s.<\/p>\n

Art portfolios are by Ron Wilber<\/strong> (a lot of his Domino Lady<\/strong> work), Bruce Heller<\/strong>, Kevin Duncan<\/strong>, and David Burton.<\/p>\n

Copies may still be available, so check<\/a>. \u00a0And also take a look at Echoes 30<\/em> from Altus Press which I previously reviewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
