Some of the most recognizable fantasy literary figures had their start in such publications. Conan, The Shadow, Doc Savage, Tarzan, John Carter are just a few samples.
I’m sure most readers of this blog are unfamiliar with the Pulp magazine era. I recommend doing a little historical homework to discover just how important that era was to modern comic books and pop culture literature.
All genres were published including Westerns, Mystery, Detective, Crime, Romance, Science Fiction, Fantasy and many more.
Pulp Culture The Art Of Fiction Magazines by Frank M. Robinson and Lawrence Davidson and published by Collectors Press, delves into the history of said publications.
This colorful visual art gallery is filled with full color cover reproductions of type of genre of magazine and included detailed information on publishers, artists, writers, dates of publication and a brief description of each cover or magazine.
The book is a fascinating collection of a pop culture phenomenon that influenced publications, movies and TV for generations to come.
It is the most comprehensive collection of Pulp magazines I have ever seen and is well worth the price.
