\"'Pulp<\/a>The 10th issue of the new Pulp Adventures<\/em> \u2014 #25, Spring 2017 \u2014 is out.<\/p>\n

This issue has a set of new and reprinted pulp fiction, all under a Norman Saunders<\/strong> cover (again). No non-fiction other than the information on the authors or pulps these appeared in, which I think added to things. I’d just like to see an occasional full article on some topic.<\/p>\n

For pulp reprints, first up is one of Robert E. Howard<\/strong>‘s Sailor Steve Costigan<\/strong> stories, “Waterfront Fists” which appeared in Fight Stories<\/em>. I was surprised to learn that this pulp, the first focused on a specific sport, ran for over two decades.<\/p>\n

Next, we get some different Western stories. First is “Chicago Man” by E.K. Jarvis<\/strong>, which ran in Mammoth Western<\/em> in 1946. From Will H. Thompson<\/strong>, we get “Tigre and Isola” that appeared in Adventure<\/em> way back in 1911. And then a very short short story by Larry Latham<\/strong>: “Desert Rescue.” This one appeared in Thrilling Comics<\/em>, due to postage regulations. Comics had to have two pages of text, so many ran short stories or later letter pages. I recall seeing this in many of the comics I got in the ’60s. Since many early comic-book publishers where connected to pulp publishers, they could get this done.<\/p>\n

Lastly is a weird tale from the overlooked Greye La Spina<\/strong>. She contributed to many pulps, including Weird Tales<\/em>, but I think she is largely unknown today. Arkham House<\/a> put out a book of her works and Robert Weinberg<\/strong> reprinted her serialized story “Gargoyle” in one of his pulp reprint series. This one, “The Haunted Landscape,” is from Thrill Book<\/em> in 1919, which was focused on unusual stories before the science fiction pulps or Weird Tales<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For New Pulp<\/a> we get Richard Lupoff<\/strong>‘s pulp hero The Golden Saint<\/strong> in “The Golden Saint Meets the Scorpion Queen.” Set on the eve of WWII, this pulp hero is different: she’s black. I don’t know if he’s written other stories with this character, but would like to see them.<\/p>\n

We get some of horror pulp stories. First is Stanley C. Sargent<\/strong>‘s “When the Means Just Defy the End,” which is a new look at Jack the Ripper<\/strong>. Bret Bouriseau<\/strong>‘s “The Night Visitor” and Tim J. Finn<\/strong>‘s “Vampire Blood Strip.”<\/p>\n

Stuart Hopen<\/strong> has actually been around a while writing fiction. We saw his character The Whisper<\/strong> in the last issue. And Bold Venture Press<\/a> is publishing (or is it reprinting) his weird air war pulp series Twilight Patrol. And this issue we get a new story set in Florida: “Ritual Burning.” It’s another strange Hopen tale.<\/p>\n

Again, another great issue. Bold Venture is getting this out pretty consistently, so expect the next issue in a couple more months. Don’t know what will be in that one, but am sure it’ll be good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
