\"PulpsUpdated: April 24, 2014<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Walker Martin<\/a><\/strong> mentioned in last Thursday’s installment of “3 pulp questions<\/a>,” Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention<\/a> is this coming weekend, April 25-27.<\/p>\n

It’s not the first pulp convention of the year, but it is the first of the two big annual events (the other, of course, being PulpFest<\/a> in August).<\/p>\n

Windy City, which will be held at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center near Chicago, boasts 150 dealer tables, several panel discussions<\/a> and films<\/a>, plus an art exhibit featuring art from the western and detective pulps and paperbacks. Windy City also plans auctions<\/a> for Friday and Saturday evenings. Saturday’s auction<\/a> is dedicated to The Shadow<\/a><\/strong>, with pulps, books and other collectibles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The con ends with New Pulp Sunday<\/a>, a slate of panel discussions focusing on modern genre fiction.<\/p>\n

If you’re keeping tally, the 35th annual Los Angeles Vintage Paperback Collectors Show<\/a> (what used to be known as the Mission Hills show) was held in March in Glendale, Calif. A couple of weeks ago, the 59th annual Michigan Antiquarian Book & Paper Show<\/a> was held in Lansing. Neither of those are strictly pulp conventions, but they often can be good sources for pulps.<\/p>\n

After Windy City, Girasol Collectibles hosts the 18th Fantastic Pulps Show & Sale<\/a> in Toronto, Ont., on May 10. Fans of Robert E. Howard<\/a><\/strong> gather in Cross Plains, Texas, on June 13 and 14 for Robert E. Howard Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then the next weekend, June 19-22, the Edgar Rice Burroughs<\/a><\/strong> Chain of Friendship Convention<\/a> will be held in Fargo, N.D. Burroughs<\/a> fans also get together from July 31-Aug. 2 in Bryan, Texas, for the annual Dum-Dum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PulpFest<\/a> anchors the summer from Aug. 7-10 in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 27, Kinsman, Ohio, celebrates Edmond Hamilton<\/a><\/strong> & <\/a>Leigh Brackett<\/a><\/strong> Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doc Con XVII<\/a>, the gathering of Doc Savage<\/a><\/strong> fans, will be held Oct. 17-19 in Glendale, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the calendar is Pulp Adventurecon<\/a> on Nov. 1 in Bordentown, N.J.<\/p>\n

While it’s not a convention, the Gotham Pulp Collectors Club<\/a> continues to meet at 1 p.m. the second Saturday of each month at the Jefferson Market Library in Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Please keep an eye on the Pulp Events<\/a> listing, which appears on the right-hand side of most interior pages at ThePulp.Net<\/a>. We try to keep it updated with the latest information.<\/p>\n

Of course, if you have a pulp event or know of one not listed, please let us know<\/a> so that we can help get the word out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
