\"BoldIn this post, I look at New Pulp<\/a> publisher, Bold Venture Press<\/a>. Established and run by authors and editors Rich Harvey<\/strong> and Audrey Parente<\/strong>, Bold Venture publishes both new and classic pulp stories in a wide range of genres. They also put out some non-fiction works, and run two Pulp Adventurecon<\/a> conventions: one in New Jersey and another in Florida.<\/p>\n

Rich Harvey first got into publishing in 1992 with Pulp Adventures Press, which put out Pulp Adventures<\/em> fanzine and later started a reprint series of The Spider<\/a><\/strong> that was in a semi-facsimile format. Both ended and he later came back with Bold Venture Press in 2014, and restarted Pulp Adventures<\/em> as a fanzine with both new and classic pulp fiction. I’ve reviewed Pulp Adventures<\/em> here since it restarted. They later started Awesome Tales<\/em> with Black Cat Media<\/a>, also reviewed here.<\/p>\n

Joining him now in Bold Venture, Audrey Parente is an author and retired journalist. She had penned bios of three pulp authors \u2014 Hugh B. Cave<\/strong>, Theodore Roscoe<\/strong>, and Judson P. Philips<\/strong> (Hugh Pentecost<\/strong>) \u2014 as well as writing some fiction and poetry.<\/p>\n

\"'Zorro'<\/a>Bold Venture publishes a wide range of works. Some are reprints, either classics or from more recent authors. They’ve done a handful of pulp facsimiles. Some are new works. Most are fiction works, but there are some non-fiction works as well.<\/p>\n

I think their most notable work is their authorized reprint of Zorro<\/strong> in six volumes. And they have recently come out with an authorized new Zorro novel, Zorro and the Little Devil<\/em> by Peter David<\/strong>. They have also put out several works by the late author C.J. Henderson,<\/strong>, including several of his Jack Hagee, P.I.<\/strong>, novels, and works by pulp author Charles Boeckman<\/strong>. Another interesting work they reprinted is The Plot Genie<\/em>, which reprints an interesting “writing assistant” with several volumes.<\/p>\n

Other notable reprinted work includes the four Inspector Luke Bradley<\/strong> novels by Hugh Pentecost. There is Railroad Stories<\/em>, which reprints works, usually by E.S. Dellinger<\/strong>, from this focused pulp magazine. They’ve put out seven volumes of this.<\/p>\n

For reprints of more recent works, there is the recently completed Twilight Patrol <\/strong>series, which is a different take on the air-war genre crossed with horror by Stuart Hopen<\/strong> that runs seven volumes.<\/p>\n

They also put out a reprint of all of the Domino Lady<\/strong> stories in a nice volume with cover artwork by Steranko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They’ve also been publishing new work by authors, in some cases bring works out here in the US from authors from the UK.<\/p>\n

All their works are done using print on demand, but with high-quality book design and artwork. With some publishers who use POD, the quality of design\/artwork isn’t very good.<\/p>\n

I always keep an eye for the latest Pulp Adventures<\/em> and Awesome Tales<\/em> issue, and I look for other works from them as well. There are a few more on my “to buy” list, such as the Thubway Tham Meets the Crimson Clown<\/em> volume. Whatever your interests in pulp, I think you’ll find something that they’ve put out that you’d enjoy. Be sure to check them out, drop by their table if you are at a pulp convention<\/a> and say hi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
