I’ve mentioned before that — while there are a number of black-and-white photos of pulps on newsstands<\/a> — I would love to see a vintage color photo of a newsstand covered in pulps.<\/p>\n

A week ago today, artist Avi Katz<\/a><\/strong> sent me the best example of what it must have been like to stand in front of such a newsstand.<\/p>\n

\"Southington,<\/a><\/p>\n

He has been colorizing vintage black-and-white photos and posting them on his blog Painted Back<\/a> since early 2012. A comment on a photo on display at Shorpy<\/a> put him to work colorizing a 1942 newsstand.<\/p>\n

Katz said he spent much of the past year searching for scans of magazine covers, then applying those colors to the dozens of magazines in the photo.<\/p>\n

I know a lot of you have seen Katz’s colorized photo on Shorpy<\/a>, as well as discussions about it on Facebook and various pulp newsgroups. But I couldn’t resist posting the image here (with Katz’s approval, of course).<\/p>\n

Magazine stands are still loaded with colorful magazines; just take a trip down to a nearby bookstore or newsstand. But stands overloaded with colorful pulp magazines were long gone by the time I was born.<\/p>\n

This may be the closest many of us ever get. Thanks, Avi!<\/p>\n

(Oh, if you’re interested in owning your own print of the colorized photo, head over to Katz’s Etsy store<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

FINAL PULP SHOW OF THE YEAR<\/strong>: Pulp Adventurecon 2014<\/a> is this Saturday, Nov. 1, in Bordentown, N.J., just outside of Trenton.<\/p>\n

In addition to 50 vendor tables of pulps, paperbacks, movie memorabilia and more, Robert Gould<\/strong>, the son of pulp artist John Fleming Gould<\/a><\/strong>, will be in attendance.<\/p>\n

The show, put on by Rich Harvey<\/strong> and his Bold Venture Press<\/a>, runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ramada Inn of Bordentown. Admission is only $5.<\/p>\n

A LOOK AT PULP PAINTINGS<\/strong>: Matt Moring<\/strong> over at Altus Press<\/a> has posted 50 photographs<\/a> taken at the Portland (Maine) Main Library’s exhibit, “The Pulps: The Definitive Survey of a Re-Discovered American Genre from the Lesser Collection at the New Britain Museum of American Art.”<\/p>\n

The exhibit<\/a> runs through Dec. 26, so there’s plenty of time to visit if you’re in the area. If not, then check out Matt’s photos.<\/p>\n

As he says, “If you\u2019ve got Bob Lesser<\/strong>\u2019s book (“Pulp Art: Original Cover Paintings for the Great American Pulp Magazines<\/a>“), you\u2019ve seen most of these, but there\u2019s nothing like seeing them up close.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
