DAYTON, Ohio \u2013 From high atop the Crowne Plaza hotel, I watched a short-lived thunderstorm move into Dayton on Thursday afternoon. The overcast skies and chance of rain didn\u2019t deter the start of PulpCon 35. When the doors opened to the dealers\u2019 room at noon, dozens of pulp fans were waiting in line to scoop up the hot items.<\/p>\n

The volume of pulps on sale in the dealers\u2019 room is startling (to borrow a pulp superlative) and overwhelming for the first time. I circled the room at least twice, but it\u2019s going to take much more time to search for items on my \u201cwant list.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"The
The boxes and boxes of a new pulp collection recently purchased by E&C Books drew keen interest early in the Con from fans looking for rare issues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Attendees are still showing up, but in its first few hours, I\u2019ve had a chance to speak with Wooda \u201cNick\u201d Carr<\/strong> (as well as get him to sign his Master of the Pulps: The Collected Essays of Nick Car<\/em> which I had just purchased from Ron Hanna<\/strong>), Ron Fortier<\/strong> (who was signing limited edition hardbacks of Captain Hazzard: Python Men of the Lost City<\/em>), Ed Hulse<\/strong> (who was distributing the new Summer issue of Blood \u2019n\u2019 Thunder<\/em>), brothers Leigh and Neil Mechem<\/strong> of Girasol Collectibles, Bill Mann<\/strong>, Scott and Patrick Cranford<\/strong>, Bill Thinnes<\/strong>, David Alexander<\/strong>, Robert Weinberg<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n

The dealers\u2019 room will be open until 8 tonight. Then it reopens at 10 a.m. tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Tomorrow night brings the annual business meeting, guest of honor Ernest Chiriacka<\/strong> and a panel discussion led by Hulse.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, a dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse starts things off, followed by guest of honor Phil Klass<\/strong> (aka William Tenn<\/strong>), a radio play \u201cDeath\u2019s Triangle,\u201d this year\u2019s Lamont Award and the auction.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
