Dr. Art Sippo<\/strong> takes a turn at answering our “3 pulp questions” today.<\/p>\n

Art recently began “Art’s Reviews<\/a>,” a podcast featuring reviews and interviews on “books, movies, comics, and other things of interest to adventure fiction fans, especially folks who love the pulps.” Prior to beginning “Art’s Reviews,” Art co-hosted “The Book Cave<\/a>” podcast with Ric Croxton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He also runs the Speculations in Bronze blog<\/a>, though he hasn’t done much work on it lately. Instead, he’s been writing New Pulp<\/a> stories. He’s currently working to finish a new Sun Koh<\/strong> novel, “Quest of the Secret Masters,” that he hopes will be published next year. (Sun Koh was a German pulp character — sort of a Doc Savage<\/a><\/strong>-like hero who was the last survivor of the lost continent of Atlantis — from the mid-1930s.)<\/p>\n

3 Pulp Questions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

3 Pulp Questions<\/a><\/strong> is an opportunity for you to get to know fellow pulp collectors a bit better and, maybe, introduce you to pulps, authors, stories or characters that you haven’t explored.[\/box]\n

Let’s hear from Art:<\/p>\n

1. How were you introduced to the pulps?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first introduction to the pulps was in 1965 when I was 12-years-old and my Aunt Helen<\/strong> bought me the Doc Savage adventure “The Land of Terror.” I was hooked<\/em>.<\/div>\n
From that point on, more and more pulp reprints became available and I went from there through Conan<\/a><\/strong>, The Shadow<\/a><\/strong>, The Avenger<\/a><\/strong>, Operator 5<\/a><\/strong> and many others.<\/div>\n
Those were heady days when the pulps started coming back into print.<\/div>\n

2. What is your most prized pulp possession?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My most prized pulp possession… That is a hard one. I have quite a few.<\/div>\n
I guess it would have to be the entire run of Bantam Doc Savage reprints: all first editions. I was always afraid that Bantam would never finish the whole series but they did, God bless them!<\/div>\n

3. What overlooked (pulp magazine, story, author, character, or series) would you recommend to pulp fans and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that the impaired detective Seekay<\/a><\/strong> by Paul Ernst<\/strong> is probably the most interesting and least known of the pulp detectives. His adventures were recently republished<\/a>, and they are worth reading.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
