\"ThePulp.Net<\/a>It’s March 3, 2026, today.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s over a quarter century into the 21st century, and almost 130 years since The Argosy<\/a><\/em> made its pivotal shift to all fiction and pulp paper in late 1896.<\/p>\n

And, to a lesser extent (but still worth celebrating), this month marks the 30th anniversary of when ThePulp.Net<\/a> first appeared online in March 1996, as .Pulp<\/a> (on America Online).<\/p>\n

You probably don’t remember that, but America Online was an online service that began offering users a chance to create and post websites.<\/p>\n

In July 1998, I moved .Pulp from AOL to its own domain, changing its name to ThePulp.Net.<\/p>\n

Here we are three decades later, and ThePulp.Net is still going strong. We’ve got the links pages<\/a> that started us out (though quite expanded over the years), an extensive bibliography of pulp-related books<\/a>, more than two dozen pulp-related articles<\/a> (plus older ones from The Pulp Companion<\/em><\/a>), more than 133 episodes (and more to come) of our podcast, Pulp Tales<\/em><\/a>, and our blogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have to give a shout-out to Michael R. Brown<\/a><\/strong> for his prodigious blogging as The Pulp Super-Fan<\/a><\/em>. He’s made almost 1,250 posts since we introduced his blog in 2013. (And, Michael has another 20 posts already queued up.)<\/p>\n

My posts here at Yellowed Perils<\/a><\/em> have dramatically decreased over the past few years. I’d like to write more, but real life keeps intruding. I will keep posting when I can, between updates to ThePulp.Net’s main pages and editing Michael’s posts, not to mention my work on the PulpFest<\/a> organizing committee and my quarterly contributions to the PEAPS mailings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, I want to celebrate ThePulp.Net<\/a>‘s 30th anniversary with a new series of articles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We previously posted the first two for 2026, a pair of articles featuring an interview with pulp artist Graves Gladney<\/a><\/strong>. The third part<\/a> was posted today.<\/p>\n

These first three articles, as well as the next two, center around another anniversary in 2026: the 95th anniversary of the debut of The Shadow Magazine<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Gladney, who doesn’t mince words about his career, other artists, and other matters, painted 62 covers for The Shadow<\/em>. In this latest article, he talks about several of those.<\/p>\n

Next month, look for an interview that the late pulp fan and historian Al Tonik<\/strong> conducted in 1983 with Jerome Rozen<\/strong>, who painted the first four covers of The Shadow<\/em> to feature original art. (We also have something special coming alongside that article, so stay tuned.)<\/p>\n

Then in May, we’ll hear from Walter B. Gibson<\/a><\/strong> on writing for The Shadow<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Have a slice of birthday cake, and watch for a new monthly article<\/a> at ThePulp.Net through the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
