We are so proud and excited about this book, that we are offering the first
FULL issue for the introductory price of just $1.00!EXPANSION OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGH’S CLASSIC TALE! Based on the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure story, Tarzan of the Apes, the first of his famous series, which initially began publication in All Story Magazine in 1912. The saga of Greystoke begins in December, written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Roberto Castro, and featuring covers by Alex Ross, Lucio Parillo, Ryan Sook, and Paul Renaud!

His true story is so much deeper and more interesting -- that's we're trying to bring to life in Lord of the Jungle." "To allow the series to be accessible to fans old and new, we are offering the first issue at the Introductory Price of $1.00 for the full ENTIRE 32 page comic, as well as dedicating both of the Dynamite front gate folds of the October shipping Previews Magazine to our launch," says Dynamite Entertainment President and Publisher Nick Barrucci.

Local New York talk show legend Joe "Nostalgia King" Franklin will recreate his show live on stage, bringing his own surprises guests along. Another great returning guest is Ivan Curry, star of "Bobby Benson and the B-Bar B Riders" on old time radio. The guest list changes frequently, so keep checking the website for updates.

Thursday - Sunday programs include an afternoon program that consists of a recreation, panel discussions and dealer rooms.

| Haffner Press - Update! Here's a quick update on things at the Haffner Press Secret Moon Base: 1) FACEBOOK UPDATES We continue to add content (text and graphics) to the Facebook page for SHANNACH - THE LAST: FAREWELL TO MARS by Leigh Brackett. More images will be posted this weekend. 2) SHANNACH - THE LAST: FAREWELL TO MARS Speaking of which, SHANNACH - THE LAST: FAREWELL TO MARS has been at the printer for 3 weeks and, with the bindery's workload for the holiday season, we are currently scheduled to take delivery of inventory on the week of October 24th. This book has had the best pre-sell of any Haffner Press title, so if you're thinking about getting a copy, don't wait too much longer. 3) FREDRIC BROWN TO TAKE FLIGHT! Fans of Fredric Brown should "keep watching the skies" in the coming weeks!! Translation: Haffner Press has an agreement for volumes that are designed to collect the mystery fiction of Fredric Brown. This series will be a wonderful and affordable opportunity to own the entire mystery output of this fondly-remembered author. With the already announced titles: THE COMPLETE JOHN THUNSTONE by Manly Wade Wellman, THE COMPLETE I.V. FROST by Donald Wandrei, and THE MICHAEL GRAY MYSTERIES by Henry Kuttner & C.L. Moore, our new line of mystery titles is shaping up to be something very special. 4) ASIMOV'S SAYS HAFFNER PRESS RULES!! At least Paul di Filippo says so as he reviews no fewer than four recent releases from Haffner Press in the September issue of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine. The online text is here: http://www.asimovs.com/2011_09/onbooks.shtml 5) EDMOND HAMILTON GETS SOME INK Richard A. Lupoff gives a charming review to the two most recent Edmond Hamilton volumes: THE COLLECTED CAPTAIN FUTURE, VOLUME TWO and THE UNIVERSE WRECKERS, THE COLLECTED EDMOND HAMILTON, VOLUME THREE in the September (#608) issue of Locus magazine. The Locus subscription page is here: https://secure.locusmag.com/Magazine/Subscribe.html 6) OOPS! ? OUT-OF-PRINT NOTICE: Effective immediately, MARTIAN QUEST: THE EARLY BRACKETT is out of print. We still have copies of the slipcased/limited edition signed by Grandmaster Michael Moorcock at the original price of $125. If you're aware of what happens to out-of-print HP titles, and don't have a copy of MARTIAN QUEST, you might consider latching on to one of these (before they're oop as well). 7) PARTY WITH US ON WWW.LIBRARYTHING.COM We're slowly adding content to our account at www.librarything.com and we plan on offering Advance Reading Copies (ARCs) of select titles in the coming months through Library Thing's Early Reviewers program. If you're a member of Library Thing, you've got a head-start; otherwise we recommend you visit http://www.librarything.com/er/signup so you don't miss out on chances for early peeks at forthcoming books. That's all for now, fellow astrogators. Our next update will feature details about the two forthcoming Henry Kuttner titles (THUNDER IN THE VOID & HOLLYWOOD ON THE MOON / MAN ABOUT TIME: THE PETE MANX ADVENTURES), news about Edmond Hamilton / Leigh Brackett Day 2011, the contents list of the Fredric Brown titles (maybe), and much, much more.

| Hard Case Crime -
News update! First of all: We're back! After more than a year, Hard Case Crime has new books in stores. GETTING OFF by Lawrence Block is the story of a beautiful young woman who sets out to murder every man she's ever slept with, while QUARRY'S EX by Max Allan Collins is the latest installment in his popular series about the hit man known as Quarry. In two weeks, two more new titles will arrive in stores: THE CONSUMMATA, begun in the 1960s by the legendary Mickey Spillane and completed after his death (at Mickey's request) by Max Allan Collins, and CHOKE HOLD by Christa Faust, the second story about Angel Dare, who first appeared in the Edgar Award-nominated MONEY SHOT. You can find out more about each of these books on our Web site, www.HardCaseCrime.com. While you're there, you can also get a taste of our first two 2012 titles: THE COMEDY IS FINISHED by Donald E. Westlake and BLOOD ON THE MINK by Robert Silverberg. (The Westlake has never been published before; the Silverberg hasn't been published in any form for 50 years!) You can order any of these books online or -- better yet -- by requesting them at your favorite local bookstore. Whichever way you choose, we very much hope you will get yourself copies of these books. Heck, get extras for your friends -- they make great gifts for the crime fiction fans in your life. Later in 2012, we'll be bringing you Edgar Award finalist Joseph Koenig's first new book in 20 years, FALSE NEGATIVE, a tale of a true-crime writer investigating the death of beauty pageant contestants in 1950s Atlantic City; and a very unusual first novel called THE TWENTY-YEAR DEATH by Ariel S. Winter. THE TWENTY-YEAR DEATH is three times the length of our usual books, and for an important reason: the story is told in the form of three separate pulp crime novels, each written in the style of a different famous mystery writer! These two books aren't up on our Web site yet, but we'll be unveiling the cover of FALSE NEGATIVE (by the inimitable Glen Orbik) around October 7 -- so mark your calendar... And what's coming after those two? We've got something very, very special to announce. After hunting for more than 9 years, we have located and secured the rights to the final, never-before-published novel by noir master James M. Cain, author of MILDRED PIERCE, DOUBLE INDEMNITY, and THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE. The new book is called THE COCKTAIL WAITRESS, and it may be the single most important discovery we've ever made. It's the story of a beautiful young widow whose first husband died under suspicious circumstances and who finds herself pursued by two new men, each of whom has something she wants. But she can't have both of them...or can she? It's steamy, gritty, suspenseful, and altogther worthy of the legacy of this great writer. We can't wait to show it to you. Alas, we do have to wait for that one. But happily you've got plenty of good books to read in the meantime. This is a good time to be a Hard Case Crime fan, for the first time in quite a while, and I want to thank you sincerely for keeping the flame burning all these months while we were away. If you get a chance, please tell a friend about our books. If you read our new titles and like them, please post a review somewhere online to let people know. The best thing you can do to ensure that Hard Case Crime books keep coming is not just to buy them yourself (though we're very grateful for your doing that) but to tell people about them and help us spread the word. Many thanks for that help, and for all your passion for what we do -- it's what keeps us doing it. |

| Isaac Asimov’s ‘The Caves Of Steel - Feature film announced! 20th Century Fox, which tapped into Isaac Asimov’s futuristic robot science fiction for I, Robot, is now working on a live-action adaptation of Asimov’s The Caves of Steel. The studio has set Henry Hobson to direct and John Scott 3 to adapt the murder mystery that was first published as a book in 1954. The director and writer are currently in pre-production on Maggie, a spec script that tracks the six-week metamorphosis of a 16-year-old girl into a zombie after she becomes infected and continues to live with her family. Trained at the Royal College of Art in London as a graphic designer, Hobson specializes in creating inventive title sequences for films that included Sherlock Holmes for Prologue Films. The scribe seems well suited to adapt Asimov’s visionary prose. When not writing scripts, Scott builds command systems for NASA’s flagship X-ray satellite. He works with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, which takes photos of X-ray photons in deep space. The Caves of Steel will be produced by Simon Kinberg, the X-Men scribe whose Genre Films banner is based at the studio and who is right now producing the Neill Blomkamp-directed Elysium, which stars Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and Sharlto Copley. Similar to I, Robot (which Fox turned into a hit film with Will Smith), The Caves of Steel is a murder mystery that takes place 1,000 years in the future, on an overpopulated Earth where there is a phobia about robots. The title refers to giant city complexes that are necessary because Earth is so overpopulated. While robots are used for labor in outlying “spacer worlds” where the rich live on spacious parcels, the robots are outlawed on Earth. A Spacer Ambassador lobbying to loosen Earth’s anti-robot restrictions is found dead, his chest imploded by an energy blaster, and a detective is matched with a human-looking robot to solve the crime. Hobson is repped by CAA and Energy Entertainment. |

LORD OF THE JUNGLE - Coming
in December!
Tarzan, the
original Lord of the Jungle returns!
Dynamite is proud to announce the December release of Lord of the
Jungle! Dynamite's Lord of the Jungle is true to Edgar Rice Burroughs original
tale, savage, violent, and uncensored for the first time in its 100 year history!
We are so proud and excited about this book, that we are offering the first
FULL issue for the introductory price of just $1.00!EXPANSION OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGH’S CLASSIC TALE! Based on the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure story, Tarzan of the Apes, the first of his famous series, which initially began publication in All Story Magazine in 1912. The saga of Greystoke begins in December, written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Roberto Castro, and featuring covers by Alex Ross, Lucio Parillo, Ryan Sook, and Paul Renaud! "Tarzan's DNA is in everything from super heroes to space epics," says writer Arvid Nelson. "But I was surprised at how little I knew about him, because the many adaptations wander very far from the original character. His true story is so much deeper and more interesting -- that's we're trying to bring to life in Lord of the Jungle." "To allow the series to be accessible to fans old and new, we are offering the first issue at the Introductory Price of $1.00 for the full ENTIRE 32 page comic, as well as dedicating both of the Dynamite front gate folds of the October shipping Previews Magazine to our launch," says Dynamite Entertainment President and Publisher Nick Barrucci. "Get on board for the biggest comic book launch this December!"

CRIME, MYSTERY, & GANGSTER FICTION MAGAZINE
INDEX
by Phil Stephensen-Payne, William G. Contento,
& Stephen T. Miller
Now available! CD-ROM: Locus Press, Available
now!
Hardcover: Battered Silicon Dispatch Box, Coming in 2012! The index is based (with permission)
on the two classic indexes in this field (both now long out of print):
The CRIME, MYSTERY, & GANGSTER FICTION MAGAZINE
INDEX: 1915-2010 combines, enhances, and brings up to date the information
from these previous indexes, and includes thousands of magazine cover images.
Includes indexes by Author, Title, Issue, Series, Publisher, Artist, and Chronological by Author. Statistics:
Magazine Titles: 870 Magazine Issues: 15,387 Authors: 16,634 Fiction (stories & serial segments): 112,456 Poems: 1,432 Non-Fiction (articles, columns, etc.): 37,530 Cover Images: 13,048 The CD-ROM version of the index can be read on
any computer with a CD-ROM/DVD drive and a web browser.
There is no software to load. Price: $24.95. For more information see http://www.philsp.com/cfi1.html.
I don't often do reviews. Primarily because I just don't have the time. However, sometimes a product comes along that just screams out to be mentioned. The CRIME, MYSTERY, & GANGSTER FICTION MAGAZINE INDEX is one of those products. If you have a serious interest in the pulps, you will absolutely want to have this CD Index. The CD contains a index for each author, title, issue, series, publisher, and artist, as well as a chronological index by author. There is also an Issue Checklist which I find most helpful. You can look up any crime, mystery, or gangster pulp and display a grid that shows the volume and number of each issue and when it was published. There is also a brief history of the magazine and the publishers name and address (when known). Better yet, when you click on the volume and number for an issue, a new screen reveals the full contents of the magazine along with a thumbnail of the cover that links back to the cover database at Galactic Central! If you are online, a larger cover scan will be available to view. The index is similar to the online Fiction Mags Index.

It has been a challenging year this year to prepare for this
con, but we finally have some information to get to all of you.Doc Con 14 will be held at Courtney Rogers' house in Glendale, Arizona on Saturday, November 12, 2011. . Courtney will open his doors at 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning, with the con officially kicking off at 10 a.m. We will be going until 5 or 6 p.m. After that time, those who would like to stay are invited to “Doc Con after Dark.” There will be an entrance fee of $20, just like the past three years. This amount will get you a copy of "The Big Book of Bronze #4" that Jay Ryan is feverishly putting together, plus cover lunch. The main food and soft drinks and water will be provided. We will have several activities throughout the day to keep everyone occupied, plus plenty of time for individual and group discussions. It will be our usual great day of fun and fellowship based around Doc Savage. Jay Ryan will be hosting Friday night activities, which will include going out for dinner and then recording a radio play at his home. Stay tuned for more information regarding Friday night. We will also convene for Sunday breakfast for those so inclined. Here is what you need to do: — Let us know if you are attending — We will have a raffle again this year. Those choosing to participate should bring an item or items. — Bring whatever items you want to give away, sell, or show off — We are also asking everyone to bring some ancillary food items. Either chips, desserts or other snacks would be great. Please let us know what you'd like to bring so we can (hopefully) prevent us from getting too much of one thing. — Bring $20 cash for the entrance fee — Bring cash (or check) in case there is something you see to buy. Terry Allen will be coming with plenty of Fantom Press merchandise, too. — Bring your ideas for a short session to discuss Doc Con 15 and future of Doc Con Thank you for your patience, and we all look forward to seeing each other in November.

This initial “beta” version, containing about three-quarters of the total projected content, will be unveiled in conjunction with Gollancz’s celebrations of its 50th anniversary as a science fiction publisher. The first edition of the Encyclopedia, whose founder and general editor was Peter Nicholls, appeared in 1979, and contained over 700,000 words. A second edition, edited by John Clute and Peter Nicholls, appeared in 1993 and contained over 1.3 million words. Both editions won the Hugo Award from the World Science Fiction Convention, in addition to numerous other honours. The beta version of the third edition will contain some 3 million words, including about 12,000 entries and well over 100,000 internal links. The entries cover every area of science fiction, including authors, illustrators, movies, music, games, and fanzines. The text will be completed, through monthly updates, by the end of 2012. The third edition has been produced by editors John Clute and David Langford, Editor Emeritus Peter Nicholls, and Managing Editor Graham Sleight. Contributing Editors for the third edition include Mike Ashley on magazines, Paul Barnett on artists and illustrators, Jonathan Clements on all aspects of Japanese and Chinese SF, Nick Lowe on movies, Abigail Nussbaum on television, John Platt on comics, and Adam Roberts on music.

Robert Kirby of United Agents, The Bookseller’s Literary Agent of the Year 2011, represents the Encyclopedia. On behalf of Gollancz, Orion Deputy CEO and Group Publisher Malcolm Edwards commented: “We’re delighted to have been able to facilitate the online publication of this monumental and definitive work – more than ever the single, reliable reference source which anyone interested in SF needs. As a contributing editor to that long-ago first edition, it’s a particular pleasure to me to have been able to play a part in making this happen.” Anyone interested in signing up for the latest news on the project can do so at www.sf-encyclopedia.com.

| Clive Cussler: THE RACE (Isaac Bell)
- Now available! By Clive Cussler and Justin Scott It is 1910, the age of flying machines is still in its infancy, and newspaper publisher Preston Whiteway is offering $50,000 for the first daring aviator to cross America in less than fifty days. He is even sponsoring one of the prime candidates-an intrepid woman named Josephine Frost-and that's where Bell, chief investigator for the Van Dorn Detective Agency, comes in. Frost's violent-tempered husband has just killed her lover and tried to kill her, and he is bound to make another attempt. Bell has tangled with Harry Frost before; he knows that the man has made his millions leading gangs of thieves, murderers, and thugs in every city across the country. He also knows that Frost won't be only after his wife, but after Whiteway as well. And if Bell takes the case . . . Frost will be after him, too.

CRIME, MYSTERY, & GANGSTER FICTION MAGAZINE
INDEX
by Phil Stephensen-Payne, William G. Contento,
& Stephen T. Miller
Now available! CD-ROM: Locus Press, Available
now!
Hardcover: Battered Silicon Dispatch Box, Coming in 2012! The index is based (with permission)
on the two classic indexes in this field (both now long out of print):
The CRIME, MYSTERY, & GANGSTER FICTION MAGAZINE
INDEX: 1915-2010 combines, enhances, and brings up to date the information
from these previous indexes, and includes thousands of magazine cover
images.
Includes indexes by Author, Title, Issue, Series, Publisher, Artist, and Chronological by Author. Statistics:
Magazine Titles: 870 Magazine Issues: 15,387 Authors: 16,634 Fiction (stories & serial segments): 112,456 Poems: 1,432 Non-Fiction (articles, columns, etc.): 37,530 Cover Images: 13,048 The CD-ROM version of the index can be read on
any computer with a CD-ROM/DVD drive and a web browser.
There is no software to load. Price: $24.95. For more information see http://www.philsp.com/cfi1.html.
I don't often do reviews. Primarily because I just don't have the time. However, sometimes a product comes along that just screams out to be mentioned. The CRIME, MYSTERY, & GANGSTER FICTION MAGAZINE INDEX is one of those products. If you have a serious interest in the pulps, you will absolutely want to have this CD Index. The CD contains a index for each author, title, issue, series, publisher, and artist, as well as a chronological index by author. There is also an Issue Checklist which I find most helpful. You can look up any crime, mystery, or gangster pulp and display a grid that shows the volume and number of each issue and when it was published. There is also a brief history of the magazine and the publishers name and address (when known). Better yet, when you click on the volume and number for an issue, a new screen reveals the full contents of the magazine along with a thumbnail of the cover that links back to the cover database at Galactic Central! If you are online, a larger cover scan will be available to view. The index is similar to the online Fiction Mags Index. |

Friends of Old Time Radio Convention - October 20-23, 2011! The 36th Annual Friends of Old Time Radio Convention will take place October 20-23 2011 at the Ramada Plaza hotel in Newark, NJ. the four day event features live recreations of classic old time radio programs with all-star casts as well as memorabilia, music, panel discussions, autographs and historical presentations. The convention is a great way to meet and show appreciation for the veterans who made old time radio great as well as get to know some of the younger actors who are working to keep the tradition alive. The invited guest list looks great so far, led by Ethel and Albert star/creator Peg Lynch. I know everyone will enjoy seeing the great Simon Jones ("Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy") again. The Mercury Theater's Arthur Anderson, WXYZ veteran Elaine Hyman ("The Lone Ranger"), ABC announcer Bill Owen and Gloria McMillan (Harriet Conklin on Our Miss Brooks) are also back for more. Local New York talk show legend Joe "Nostalgia King" Franklin will recreate his show live on stage, bringing his own surprises guests along. Another great returning guest is Ivan Curry, star of "Bobby Benson and the B-Bar B Riders" on old time radio. The guest list changes frequently, so keep checking the website for updates. In addition, Pulp entertainment scholars Anthony Tollin and Martin Grams, Jr. will both host original presentations on pulp entertainment and radio. Thursday - Sunday programs include an afternoon program that consists of a recreation, panel discussions and dealer rooms. The evening program features a buffet dinner in which there is at least one special guest at each table and all-star recreations. It's a great way to socialize with the stars as well as see them perform. On Sunday, there is a buffet breakfast and panel with remaining guests. Shows scheduled for recreation this year include Let's Pretend, Easy Aces, Gunsmoke, My Favorite Husband, Ethel and Albert, Phil Harris/Alice Faye, Lights Out, and more. Full information on the convention including room rates (historically low right now at $76/AAA) and registration information for the convention itself is available at www.fotr.net.

Hard Case Crime - Big relaunch
in September!
SO THIS GIRL WALKS INTO A BAR... ...and when she walks out there’s a man with her. She goes to bed with him, and she likes that part. Then she kills him, and she likes that even better. On her way out, she cleans out his wallet. She keeps moving, and has a new name for each change of address. She’s been doing this for a while, and she’s good at it. And then a chance remark gets her thinking of the men who got away, the lucky ones who survived a night with her. She starts writing down names. And now she’s a girl with a mission. Picking up their trails. Hunting them down. Crossing them off her list... First publication
ever! - Hard Case Crime’s first hardcover
novel
Even the enigmatic hit man called Quarry had to start somewhere.
And for him that was the day he returned stateside from Nam to find his
young wife cheating. He’d killed plenty overseas, so killing her
lover was no big deal. And when he was recruited to use his skills as
a contract killer, that transition was easy, too. He survived in this
jungle as he had in that other one—by expecting trouble.What he didn't expect was ever running into her again... First publication ever!
- By the bestselling author of ROAD TO PERDITION

| Pulp Magazines Project - Now online! The Pulp Magazines Project is an open-access digital archive dedicated to the study and preservation of one of the twentieth century's most influential literary & artistic forms: the all-fiction pulpwood magazine. The Project also provides information on the history of this important but long neglected medium, along with biographies of pulp authors, artists, and their publishers. At the heart of the Project's mission is the archive itself. In summer 2011, it began with a modest library of five representative first-generation pulp titles from the early twentieth century. Over time, the archive will expand, new magazines will be digitized, and contextual materials added. Eventually, the archive will feature a broad range of pre-1923 titles, post-1923 titles where copyright has lapsed, and full volume runs of select titles from 1896 to 1946. The Project is dedicated to fostering ties between communities of collectors, fans, and academics devoted to pulp magazines, and will offer opportunities for research and collaboration to both scholars and enthusiasts alike. We will provide information on upcoming conferences and conventions, and promote new working relationships between academics and the hundreds of pulp fans and collectors beyond the college and university. |
