PULP VAULT MAGAZINE Set of Three Issues

Three issue set of Pulp Vault Magazine from Tattered Pages Press. Early Issues #10, #11, and #12/13 (double issue!).  All black and white. Color Cover in #12/13. Interesting artwork and articles about all your favorite pulp heroes and heroines. Nice color Shadow cover on #12/13!  Issue #10 (Mar 1992). This one gives us a cover reminiscent of the second run of The Whisperer magazine. Appropriate since the issue includes the second part of “Heritage of Death.” Nick Carr provides a detailed look at The Park Avenue Hunt Club. Will Murray gives us a look into writing a new Doc Savage novel, Python Isle, and includes the original outline by Lester Dent. Another article provides a look into the war-time pulps of British publisher Hutchinson; there’s also an index. We also learn about Eerie Tales, a Canadian fantasy pulp. The strange dialog of Dan Turner, who appeared in the spicy pulps, is the subject of another. Richard Bleiler provides a look into the nautical tales by British pulp author Bill Adams, along with a list of his works in Adventure. Issue #11 (June 1993). Frederick Pohl was guest of honor at Pulpcon 21, and we get his speech, which provides an interesting personal history in the pulps. Theodore Roscoe provides a “Q & A” from the same con. Will Murray looks at the adventurers who appeared in Spicy Adventures. Sam Moskowitz checks out The Witch’s Tales magazine. Nick Carr provides another look at western pulp heroes. One article looks at pulp magazines that changed their names. Another looks at pulp sf author Ray Cummings. Rick Lai gives a Wold Newton-esque look at Captain Nemo. Frederick Davis and Moon Man are the subjects of another, and we get a reprint of a Moon Man story. Another reprint is one of Lester Dent’s Crime Spectacularist story. Both series have been reprinted by Altus Press. We also get a two-page spread of Doc Savage art by Hamilton. Issue #12/13 (August 1996). This double-issue gives us a full-color cover by Paul McCall. Inside we again have a speech from a Pulpcon guest of honor, this time Bruce Cassiday from Pulpcon #23. Frank Belknap Long is the focus of another article, that includes a listing of his fiction. Rick Lai provides an article on Yasmini, a character from several of Talbot Mundy‘s works. Mundy is most well-known for King of the Kyber Rifles. John Locke provides a fairly complete index of all the pulp magazines, giving their first and last date of publication, publisher, name changes, etc. Will Murray gives information on Richard Sale, who recently passed away. Don Hutchison gives info on the early pulp hero, the Gray Seal. Nick Carr looks at another western character, Len Siringo. Everett Bleiler checks out the one Flash Gordon pulp. Other articles look at Thunder Jim Wade (now available from Altus Press), the various authors who wrote as Maxwell Grant, and the Bermuda Triangle theme in pulp fiction. For fiction, we get a lost Curt Flagg story by Lester Dent, along with an intro by Will Murray. We get one of Hugh B. Cave’s “Tsiang House” stories (one not reprinted in the collection of these stories from Tattered Pages Press) along with a listing of his pulp stories. Doug Ellis provides an article on serial character “Shark” Gotch, along with a story. And we get a short Ryerson Johnson tale. Out of Print. Condition. Very Fine.
