\"'Pulp<\/a>Soon after my last review, Bold Venture Press<\/a> is back with another new issue of Pulp Adventures<\/em>, #30 for Summer 2018.<\/p>\n

This time we get a cover by John Frew<\/strong> that ties to “Maiden Voyage.” And as always, there is a mix of old and new pulp in a wide range of genres: mystery, western, horror, adventure, pulp hero, and more. We also get a second new Daemon Mask<\/strong> comic story! Bold Venture has done a great job of getting this zine out on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

For classic pulp, we get another crime fiction story by Charles Boeckman<\/strong>, “A Long Crime Ago.” Though maybe it’s not true pulp as it appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine<\/em> in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

The cover story, taken from Astounding Stories<\/em> in 1939, is Vic Philips<\/strong>‘ “Maiden Voyage.” Philips wrote pulp stories over a five-year period, but little is known about him. This story tells of the maiden voyage of a new space liner, and things don’t go smoothly.<\/p>\n

“Big-Nose Charley’s Dog Helps Out,” by Charles W. Tyler<\/strong>, is another story by an unknown pulpster. This one has a character similar to Johnston McCulley<\/strong>‘s Thubway Tham<\/strong>. Interestingly, both appeared in Street & Smith’s Detective Story Magazine<\/em>, this one in 1920.<\/p>\n

And we get a short western story from an issue of Target Comics<\/em> in 1940.<\/p>\n

For New Pulp<\/a>, we get “\u2019Twixt Heaven and Hell” by John Petty<\/strong>, who introduces a new hero, The Wraith.<\/strong> When Dr. Thomas Bannon<\/strong> is murdered, he becomes The Wraith, who is not quite dead or alive.<\/p>\n

In “I Spy,” by Pauline Turner<\/strong>, we met spy Brigit Hastings<\/strong>. Being a spy is dangerous. Does this affect those she knows and loves?<\/p>\n

Finally, we get “Daemon Mask: Queen of the Crystal Sword” a “new” Whisper<\/strong> comic story by Stuart Hopen<\/strong> and Russ Martin<\/strong>. This is The Whisper\u2019s second adventure, which had previously only been online, so it sees print for the first time. We got his origin story in issue #24. This one brings him into conflict with an ancient love affair and reincarnation, which seems to re-define who and what he is from his origin. I wonder if Bold Venture might republish all three Whisper stories in one volume?<\/p>\n

This issue closes out four years of this new version of Pulp Adventures<\/em>. This has been 16 issues of quality issues with classic and New Pulp stories in a wide range of genres. The closest any other New Pulp magazine came to this is the 14 issues of the new Startling Stories<\/em>, though this was over six years, not four. I look forward to the upcoming issues of this magazine. If you haven’t looked into this one, check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
