| Age
of Aces Books - New pulp reprint publisher! The mission of Age of Aces Books is to gather
together in single volumes many of the great series of aviation heroes that
ran in DARE-DEVIL ACES in the 30's and 40's. The first release (available
now on Amazon.com) is CAPTAIN BABYFACE: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES by acclaimed hard-boiled writer Steve Fisher.
These ten tales tell the story of Captain Jed Garrett, of the US Special Agent
Corps, and his struggle to defeat the evil German genius, Mr.Death. Garrett, known
as Captain Babyface because of his youthful appearance, is assisted by his dog,
Click the hellhound. Together, they try to foil Mr. Death's bloodthirsty schemes,
which threaten defeat for the Allies in WWI. For Jed Garrett, his orders are simple: Kill Mr. Death! But who is Mr. Death? One of Germany's brightest chemists and inventors, he had grown weary of life and entered a monastery near Alsace-Lorraine. But war came and the monastery was bombed. Severely injured, German surgeons patched him back together, though he was left horribly disfigured. And now, sworn to vengeance against the Americans, he uses his evil genius for Germany in the “War to End All War.” Author Steve Fisher is best known for his hardboiled work in BLACK MASK MAGAZINE and in novels like “I Wake Up Screaming”. In Popular Publications long-running aviation pulp DARE-DEVIL ACES, he created the ten titanic tales of Captain Babyface. For the first time, they are presented together in one volume. This is the first in a series from Age of Aces Books that will feature some of the greatest aviation pulp heroes of the 1930's. CAPTAIN BABYFACE: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES was designed by the great Chris Kalb and features Frederick Blakeslee's original illustrations. It is 230 pages and is now available on Amazon.com for $16.99. Coming soon! Coming soon from Age of Aces Books will be Volume 1 of Robert J. Hogan's The Red Falcon. There were 34 appearances in DARE-DEVIL ACES by Barry Rand and his aide, the fierce African warrior Sika, and Age of Aces is pleased to be reprinting all of them. Other volumes being prepared for release in the next year will feature Ralph Oppenheim's "The Three Mosquitoes", C. M. Miller's "Chinese Brady", and Robert J. Hogan's "Smoke Wade". Age of Aces Books does not have a website up yet, but one is on the way. You will read about it here once it goes online! |  Click on the cover for a larger image. |

| Gateways to Forever: The Story of
the Science-Fiction Magazines, 1970-1980 - Coming Spring 2007! In the 1970s science fiction exploded into the popular consciousness, appearing everywhere along the cultural spectrum—from David Bowie’s alien stage persona to the massively successful global juggernaut that was Star Wars. With the American involvement in Vietnam reaching its bitter conclusion, the Apollo moon program ending, and awareness of humanity’s destructive impact on the environment increasing, our planet began to seem a smaller, lonelier, more fragile place—and the escapist appeal of science fiction grew. Corresponding with these tumultuous events was a period of significant American economic decline, and, as Mike Ashley shows in GATEWAYS TO FOREVER, the once-enormously-popular science fiction magazines struggled to survive. The third volume of this award-winning series chronicles the publications’ most difficult period so far. The decade began with the death of John Campbell Jr., the man who launched the magazine Astonishing, and with it science fiction’s prominence as a genre. The widespread popularization of sci-fi imagery reflected a newly diversified market—new anthologies, fanzines, role-playing games, comics, and blockbuster films all fought for the attention and money of sci-fi fans. Ashley shows how the traditional magazines coped with these setbacks but also how they, as always, looked to the future, as the decade closed and the earliest precursors to the Internet emerged. Mike Ashley’s groundbreaking history is a monument to science fiction’s evolution. As the genre continues to infiltrate mainstream literature, GATEWAYS TO FOREVER is essential reading for anyone interested in seeing how it all began.

Here is an affectionate lookback at the outsized heroes who once occupied the imagination of millions of loyal readers-The Shadow, Tarzan, Doc Savage, Captain Future, The Spider, Zorro. They were the original super guys, godfathers and inspiration to the likes of Superman, Batman and James Bond.

In 1990 he received The Lamont Award "for outstanding effort in keeping alive the memory and spirit of the pulp magazine era."

| Pulps 1st - New pulp cover CDs are now available! The Pulp Image Library version 5 is out with almost 21,000 pulp cover images. It's the best pulp cover reference available. There are also new versions of the SF & Fantasy, Detective & Mystery, Anthology, Western, Heroes & Villains CDs and a new Air and War CD. The pulp cover CDs can be ordered from http://www.pulps1st.com The Pulps 1st website is now updated or you can contact Mark Halegua at msh@pulps1st.com Review: If you enjoy viewing pulp cover art, then Pulp Image Library version 5 is just what you are looking for. With almost 21,000 cover images, you will spend countless hours looking at all the images on this CD. The CD contains more images in one place than you are likely to find anywhere else. Included are images from the hero pulps, sports pulps, weird menace pulps, western pulps, romance pulps, detective pulps, adventure pulps, science fiction and fantasy pulps, you name it, they are here. The pulp cover images for each pulp title are containedin a separate folder. Folders are arranged alphabetically, so locating covers for a particular title is a snap. Looking for a particular image by publication date? No problem! All files are named by the month and year of the magazine. There are folders for 903 different pulp titles, although some folders are empty awaiting the availability of images. The images themselves range in size from 144 pixels wide (the smallest I found so far) to 710 pixels (the largest I found so far). Most images seem to be in the range of 350 to 500 pixels wide, a good size for viewing. Resolution variesfrom 72 dpi to 200 dpi in the images I have viewed so far. You are probably thinking, why should I pay for a CD when I can download images off the Internet for free? The answer is simple. I have been downloading cover images off the Internet for years and I have many of the cover images that are on this CD. Some of my downloaded cover images are larger in size and/or of better quality. However, I have downloaded nowhere near 21,000 cover images and my downloaded images are not as conveniently organized. You can spend lots and lots of hours downloading and cataloging images yourself or buy this CD and start enjoying the images right away. Pulp Image Library Version 5 is a good value that is well worth the price of admission. |  |
| The Pulp Rack Spring has arrived -- by the calendar, anyway, and trees and shrubs are blooming and the grass is greening and growing around here -- but cold weather continues to lash other parts of the country that have already seen lots of bitter winter weather. In honor of the eventual thaw, I thought it would be a good idea to honor the passing winter by focusing on some cold reading. So I've recently read some pulp-related stories that touch on the theme of polar exploration. The first of these is . . .The Adventures of Captain Hatteras by Jules Verne. This isn't one of Verne's better-known novels, but it comes from early in his career and sets up some of the elements that appear in his best-known works. Why include Verne at The Pulp Rack? I explain some of my reasons for that in the essay. To summarize, many of his novels (Hatteras among them) were first published in serial form, like the pulp novels of the 20th century; also, his stories provided adventure in exotic settings in a way that served as a precursor to the pulp adventurers later published by Munsey, Street & Smith, Popular, and others. You'll find "The Adventures of Captain Hatteras: Verne Lays the Foundation for Fictional Pulp Adventures to Foreign Lands" at this URL: http://pulprack.com/arch/2007/03/the_adventures.html As always, thanks for your patronage.

VOLUME ONE New Pulp Publisher Debuts with Original Creation: Knuckles, Tough Guy for Hire NEW JERSEY - With a punch to the gut and a sock to the jaw, Episodes from the Zero Hour! is proud to announce the publication of its first volume, featuring Knuckles, Tough Guy for Hire, which is available now on their electronic print storefront, http://www.lulu.com/zerohour. The print debut marks a milestone for collaborators Anthony Schiavino and Jason Butkowski, who began Episodes from the Zero Hour! as a Web-based forum for serialized fiction. Volume One contains five short stories, penned by Butkowski, featuring the film-noir world of Federal City, and its most colorful resident, former boxer turned hired muscle, Tommy "Knuckles" McNichols. From the book jacket: Tommy "Knuckles" McNichols is a man who's lost it all — a once-promising prizefighter turned to a life of desperation, working as a TOUGH GUY FOR HIRE to make ends meet on the gritty streets of FEDERAL CITY. He lives on the edge of darkness, going by his own modified code of ethics in a town where reality is a punch to the gut, a bullet in the chamber of a .38, or a fifth of Jack. In a city of smoke and fog, where moral ambiguity is the norm and danger lurks around every corner, will this worn-out former boxer be able to sleep at night, knowing what he's become? And more importantly, will he be able to make the rent payment by the end of the month? The volume showcases Schiavino's book design and production, a beautiful cover by award-winning pulp illustrator Douglas Klauba, and fantastic interior illustrations from veteran comic artist Rob Davis and newcomer Jared Araujo. The Zero Hour! crew's freshman efforts are already garnering them praise from some of the established professionals in the pulp revival and comic book industries: "Man, I love these 'KNUCKLES' McNichols stories!" said Ron Fortier, author of Captain Hazzard and the Python Men of the Lost City and founder of Airship 27 Productions. "Jason Butkowski has created a true down and out original pulp character that is easy to cotton to. The stories bounce between down and out dirty street life, ala classic Noir, to humorous anecdotes that resonate with true street savvy. This is an amazing collection and if you really like pulp, you are going to love 'KNUCKLES'. All I can say, Butkowski, is more, please. Lots more!" "'KNUCKLES' will dazzle you with some humorous fancy footwork; put you on the canvas with a one-two combo of characters that are tough as nails but as human as you or me; and just when you think you've got it all figured out, deliver a couple delicious sucker punches," said Sean Ellis, author of Magic Mirror. "'KNUCKLES' is a knockout!" "In a town where life slips you a mickey and opportunity is best found at the end of a gun, Tommy 'KNUCKLES' McNichols delivers a sense of gritty, two-fisted common sense to the mean streets of Federal City. This is PULP NOIR at its BEST!" said Wayne Skiver, author of The Prof. Stone Adventures. "Butkowski has created a world to rival Miller's Sin City and a character that would be right at home downing a fifth of Jack with Spillane." "Finally! Pulp the way Pulp is supposed to be!" said comic writer Steve Niles, writer and creator of 30 Days of Night. A BLINDING FORCE PRODUCTIONS SERIALIZED FEATURE EPISODES FROM THE ZERO HOUR!

| The Green Hornet - Columba/Sony to make new feature film! According to VARIETY, Columbia/Sony has obtained the rights to The Green Hornet and tapped producer Neal Moritz (“The Fast and the Furious”) to produce a film version. "I couldn't be more thrilled to be developing this world renowned property with the people who brought Spider-Man to the screen," says Moritz, who had acquired the project rights from Green Hornet Inc. "I can't imagine a studio better equipped or more prepared to handle this kind of material than Sony. With the radio show, television program, comic books, and novels, there is ample source material to bring this classic crime-fighter to life." Moritz said he's been a fan of "The Green Hornet" since seeing the '60s live-action TV series that starred Van Williams and Bruce Lee, and he's been trying to get the rights for years. He’s currently on the hunt for a writer. | |

| The
Pulp Rack An article on Barry Windsor-Smith's The Freebooters. Although it was a comic book, it had more storytelling aspects in common with good prose pulp fiction than comics you typically see today. You'll find it here: http://pulprack.com/arch/2007/03/freebooters_a_p_1.html This week's addition is another look at Ryerson Johnson: "Following the 'Traitor of the Natchez Trace'." This story first appeared in 10-Story Western in 1943. "Traitor of the Natchez Trace" is actually not a north-western. Instead, it's a frontier story — not a western, really, because it's set along the Natchez Trace (thus the title) when the Mississippi River was considered The West. I enjoy tales like this, which take place outside the typical western formula and include a bit of history or cultural information as additional narrative color to create a stronger verisimilitude. Visit this URL to read this article about the story and its ties to history: http://pulprack.com/arch/2007/03/following_the_t.html And remember our Ryerson Johnson page at this URL: http://pulprack.com/arch/2006/07/w_ryerson_johns.html As always, thanks for your patronage.
