Answering our latest round of “3 pulp questions<\/a>” is Jason Aiken<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jason is host of “Pulp Crazy<\/a>,” a video podcast devoted to the pulp magazines. He introduced “Pulp Crazy” in May 2013.<\/p>\n

He’s covered pulp basics — such as what is a pulp magazine? And he’s provided overviews of pulp characters and authors, as well as reviews of pulp stories and books.<\/p>\n

Jason has also provided audio recordings<\/a> from PulpFest<\/a>, with particular coverage of FarmerCon<\/a>, which has taken place at the same time.<\/p>\n[box type=”shadow”]\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 learn more about Jason:<\/p>\n

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

I was watching some behind the scenes footage on the “Batman: The Animated Series” Volume 1 DVD when it was first released. Bruce Timm<\/strong> was talking about how he plastered his wall with a bunch of old pulp covers for inspiration when creating the look of the show. I wasn’t sure what pulp was, but a search brought me to ThePulp.Net where I found the answer.<\/div>\n
I became more familiar with pulp magazines after I discovered Robert E. Howard<\/strong>‘s Conan<\/strong> tales and the pulp influenced works of Philip Jos\u00e9 Farmer<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

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

\""Startling<\/p>\n

I don’t own many pulp magazines, I’m more of a reader than a collector. I do have a handful though.<\/div>\n
It’s a toss up between the September 1951 issue of Weird Tales<\/em> and the August 1952 issue of Startling Stories<\/em>.<\/div>\n
The Weird Tales<\/em> issue is special to me because it’s an actual issue of Weird Tales<\/em> with fiction by Seabury Quinn<\/strong> and Clark Ashton Smith<\/strong>. Weird Tales<\/em> is my favorite pulp magazine.<\/div>\n
The Startling Stories<\/em> issue is important to me due to this particular issue launching the career of Philip Jos\u00e9 Farmer with “The Lovers.”<\/div>\n

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

“Roads<\/a>” by Seabury Quinn. It first appeared in the January 1938 issue of Weird Tales<\/em>, and is essentially an origin of Santa Claus<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
It was later published by Arkham House in book form, and is currently available in an eBook from Amazon. It’s a great story to read around Christmas time.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
