{"product_id":"the-pulpster-33","title":"THE PULPSTER #33","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree new articles on the Spicy pulps, which hit newsstands -- or, maybe, slid under the counters -- 90 years ago. Will Murray answers the question \"Why Are Pulps So Scarce?\" \u003cstrong\u003eEd Hulse\u003c\/strong\u003e looks at ashcan editions that Culture Publications used to lock up its titles. Two ERB features look at \u003cem\u003eThe Land that Time Forgot \u003c\/em\u003etrilogy and ERB's strangest creatures. \u003cstrong\u003eMike Chomko\u003c\/strong\u003e wraps up his definitive history of comics \u0026amp; pulp publisher Fiction House. And Canadian Pulps, \u003cem\u003eSecret Agent X \u003c\/em\u003emore!\nA hundred years ago, the first hardback edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Land That Time Forgot\u003c\/em\u003e was released. You’ll find two articles about Edgar Rice Burroughs’ fantastic adventure, which appear in connection with PulpFest’s partner con, ERBFest: Henry G. Franke III’s overview of the trilogy, and Jess Terrell’s dissection of one of ERB’s stranger creatures.\n\nTwo years ago marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of Fiction House, and that year’s number of \u003cem\u003eThe Pulpster\u003c\/em\u003e included the first of \u003cstrong\u003eMichael Chomko’s\u003c\/strong\u003e epic three-part history of the pulp and comic-book publisher. The story wraps up in this number. And \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Lampkin\u003c\/strong\u003e has a sidebar that looks at \u003cstrong\u003eThurman T. Scott’s\u003c\/strong\u003e side business.\n\nYou’ll also find the most extensive history of the Canadian pulps to date (by \u003cstrong\u003eTony Davis\u003c\/strong\u003e), and articles on \u003cem\u003eSecret Agent X\u003c\/em\u003e (by \u003cstrong\u003eWill Murray\u003c\/strong\u003e), \u003cstrong\u003eFrederick Nebel\u003c\/strong\u003e (by \u003cstrong\u003eJohn C. Bruening\u003c\/strong\u003e), and “The Maltese Falcon” (by \u003cstrong\u003eKurt Brokaw\u003c\/strong\u003e).\n\nAnd, as always, closing out the number is the annual salute by Davis to those from the pulp collective that we’ve lost. Lots of interior color and reproductions of pulp cover art and rare titles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642525876510,"sku":"PULP33","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/pulp33-the-pulpster-vol-33.jpg?v=1784511102","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/the-pulpster-33","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
