They were STRANGE ENEMIES! Once they
were just two young lovers, pledging their devotion in a Mecklenberg
garden. Now they are reluctant rivals enmeshed in the biggest
conflict the world has ever seen. While the Great War had
forged him into the so-called Brain-Devil, America’s top agent,
she had become the famous Fraulein Doktor, Germany’s most alluring
and elusive spy. When love and loyalty collide in eight epic tales
of WWI aviation and intrigue, the bullets—and the sparks—are going
to fly.

AMERICA’S ACE
SPY RETURNS
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to announce the
release of the fourth volume in their best selling pulp series; Secret Agent
X – Man of a Thousand Faces.
The greatest pulp spy of them all, Secret Agent X returns in four
brand new adventures. Continuing the excitement and thrills generated
by the previous three volumes in this series, the Man of a Thousand Faces
is back in four daring adventures written by today’s most talented pulp
writers.
“Since starting Airship 27, Secret Agent X has been our flagship series,”
explains Managing Editor Ron Fortier. “Pulp fans just love this golden
age spy and every time we put out a new book they not only rush to get
a copy but they instantly begin clamoring for more of his exciting new adventures.
Pulps fans just can’t get enough of Secret Agent X and we’re only too
happy to provide them with more.”
Deep in mountains of central Europe, Bobby Nash pits X against a deadly
beast-man with a special agenda while Jarrod Courtemanche has the master
spy confronting a scientist who controls fears. In a one of a kind
cross-over, Agent X confronts one of the most nefarious pulp villains of
them all, Fantamos, courtesy of Kevin Noel Olson and finally Frank Schildiner
chronicles one of our hero’s earliest missions alongside the famed Sir Lawrence
of Arabia in the burning sands of the Sahara.
“This is by far the most eclectic collection we’ve released thus far,” added
Fortier. The book features twelve interior illustrations by Art Director
& Company Designer Rob Davis with a terrific cover by Davis and Shane
Evans. It is their second artistic collaboration on this highly
popular series. |

Nick
Carter Detective Library -- Issue Number 4
"One Against Twenty-One; Or, The Ranch Robbery."
By The Author of "Nick Carter"
Originally Published August 29, 1891.
"One Against Twenty-One" is the fourth novelette written for the
Nick Carter Detective Library.
Detective Nick Carter is
called to Inspector Byrnes’ office and asked if he will undertake a case
in the mining camp of Hellion City, Nevada. The detective is given $10,000
in expenses to go there and learn what it is the townspeople want him to
do for them. He will receive an additional payment at the successful completion
of the case. Intrigued by this, Nick undertakes the trip from New York City
to the far west. He needs a change anyway, he says, and this just fits
the bill. Exit Nick Carter. The next scene is Hellion City, Nevada, where
a placard tacked on the side of a building warns that one Benton Hawley
has been tried by the tribunal known as “Twenty-One” and found guilty. He
has forty-eight hours to leave town. Soon afterwards Benton Hawley is found
dead with a dagger in his chest and a note attached to him declaring he
has been “Executed by 21.”
|
|
|
A stranger arrives in town
and announces that his name is “One.” To the discerning reader, it should
be obvious that this is Nick Carter in one of his disguises. It doesn’t take
long for him to win over the confidence of the rough element of Hellion
City. With two exceptions, men populate Hellion City. The exceptions are
Juno, the woman who runs the local gambling den, and a boy named Chick.

Six
soaring stories from the January, 1942 issue of
DARE-DEVIL ACES magazine!
DARE-DEVIL ACES is one of several aviation pulps published by Popular Publications.
Aviation pulps were an outgrowth of adventure magazines and came into their
own as World War I ended and daring aviators such as Charles Lindberg and
Amelia Earhart were grabbing headlines. Stories centered on WWI battle
action, but shifted to modern conflict as WWII began.
BULLETS FOR THE SKY WOLF By William Porter
A stolen ship, an outlawed ace… and only the wind and the bullets could
hear the last taunting farewell of the outcast of Bristol Squadron: “I’ll
be cold meat tomorrow, pals—but I’ll give ’em hell today!”
TALONS OF THE HAWK By Daniel Winters
One last hell-packed hour the fates had given Fighting Joe Gregory to settle
his destiny in enemy skies—bullets in the dawn and a traitor’s unmarked

YOU CAN’T KILL AN EAGLE by Robert Syndey Bowen
“Half of this outfit swears you’re a spy; the other half curses you for
a coward. We’re takin’ off now for the hottest corner in this man’s war.
An’ you’re going with us—to write your answer with your guns!”
AIR ANGELS By Dusty Dowst
Warbirds are gamblers, and the stake is life… Here are some battle tales
of the pioneer combat group in air history—the jinx busters of the Lafayette
Escadrille!
EACH DAY WE DIE By O.B. Myers
When Death’s watchdogs howl on the ceiling of hell, and the quitters have
fled and the luckless have perished, a certain breed of flying man will
yet stick to his guns and remember: “Each day we die—but we fly again with
the dawn!”
DEATH PATROL by Ray P. Shotwell
What did it mean, that challenge from doom-laden skies—“Keep out of the
air today—or you will die to the last man!”
|
SUPER SCIENCE STORIES was published by Fictioneers, a low-end imprint of
Popular Publications, from 1940 and 1943, and again from 1949 to 1951. It
received praise from science fiction critics and historians. Science fiction
historian Raymond Thompson describes it as “one of the most interesting
magazines to appear during the 1940s,” despite the variable quality of the
stories. Critics Brian Stableford and Peter Nicholls comment that the
magazine “had a greater importance to the history of SF than the quality
of its stories would suggest; it was an important training ground.”
CROSS OF MERCRUX By Harry Walton
A city that Time had forgotten… a house of forbidden mystery… a doorway
where life and death were brothers… a story of two parallel worlds behind
the streets of Old New York!

SPACESHIP
FROM KORL by Frederic Arnold Kummer, Jr.
“You are strong, Spacemen of Korl. Your rays and your bombs are more powerful
than the flesh of my people. But guard well your secrets — for we fight
until the last of us perish!”
CHILD OF THE GREEN LIGHT By Leigh Brackett
Between sun and space, a gallant little band fought to pierce the dread
secret of Mercury’s orbit—that the human race might endure!
ATRAKIN AND THE MAN by Walter Kubilius
Soulless, despotic, were the machine men that had conquered a tottering
world—yet even such as they must bargain for the one last secret that men
of flesh had denied them—the mystery of immortality!
THE WATERS UNDER THE EARTH By James D. Perry
A dagger from the lost ages, a man from a land that has never been charted,
a people to seek out and free from the shackles of the centuries—if you
dare!
THE HUNTED ONES By John E. Harry
He had sworn to destroy an alien world—and himself with it. But one day
under a battle-filled sky he discovered the strength of a conquered people’s
creed; “There will be death but no retreat. And in the end there must he
victory!”
|
Pulp magazines were the popular entertainment of their era and
reflected the pop culture of the time. One of the earliest and most enduring
of the pulps was ADVENTURE.
Stories range from classics to period curiosities, from mysteries to Westerns,
to sports stories—and they may not always reflect modern ideas of political
correctness. However, it is always a joy to "return to those thrilling
days of yesteryear" and immerse yourself in the popular culture of a bygone
era.
CROSS FIRE by Robert E. Pinkerton
The cowboy, armed with a .32 and dusty from his long ride across the Malpaso
wasteland, sat down and rolled a cigarette. It didn’t matter that he
was barely ten years old. He had to rescue Leach Lewis from Singer Randall’s
bunch!
FLIGHT LEADER By Bourke Lee
When a rookie pilot gets assigned to K Flight, a nighttime bombing unit,
his dreams of glory as a fighter pilot are dashed. But it won’t take long
for the eighteen-year-old to discover what it means to be a flight leader.

Sid Nelson doesn’t think much of the government to round-up and slaughter
wild horses from public grazing land. Can a lone cowboy save the wildies?
THE SPIDER by Major George Fielding Eliot
Their weapons were shovels, their foe unseen, as these clay-smeared underground
soldiers battled time and a mysterious killer to save a regiment in France.
BROTHER OF LIONS by Wynant Davis Hubbard
Lions swarmed all over Ibamba ranch. They had killed the last owner. Here’s
the story of an American who went to fight them.
SURPRISE ATTACK By Perry Adams
In the mountains of India a Cockney and a Sikh find that a fight with
fists makes enemies and a fight with bullets makes friends.
|
TERROR TALES was a long-running American pulp magazine of the horror
comics and weird menace genres. It was originally published by Popular
Publications. The first issue was published in September 1934. One of the
seminal horror pulp, it was joined shortly afterwards (1935) with its
sister imprint, HORROR STORIES, also from the same publisher.
TERROR TALES followed many of the conventions of the horror comic
genres, such as the use of scantily-clad damsel in distress covers and
interior art. Although hit hard by the Senate comic book hearings and the
Comics Code Authority, TERROR TALES would recover and continue to be published
decades later.
HOUSE OF LIVING DEATH by Arthur Leo Zagat
Have you ever asked yourself the grim question: “Am I going mad?” Harold
Armour, deserted by his friends and forgotten by society, fought that
ghastly conjecture through long nights and days of panicked, mounting
terror—while nightmare horrors came to life and evil, mindless creatures
lived forever with him in the dark house where fear dwelt always. . A
masterfully told tale of dark, impenetrable mystery and black passions,
written against an eerie background that will thrill and shock you!

countryside and her neighbors died one by one!
DEAD MAN’S BRIDE by Wyatt Blassingame
The boy and the girl were passionately in love. The undead who menaced their
happiness should long before have abandoned all fleshly fancies. Yet Eve
Wingard, vibrant with life, was needed in that shadowed realm where the
dead walk always.
A NIGHT IN CAMBERWELL by John Flanders
A grimly realistic little tale of one dark night’s adventure that you
will not soon forget…
HANDS BEYOND THE GRAVE By Henry Treat Sperry
A plain tale, simply told, by a man who lived two lives — and suffered much
in both!
TERROR ISLAND Huge B. Cave
It was rather a grim gathering to begin with…. Before the first night
of their strange reunion was over, the affair had become a nightmare of
shrieking fear and ugly, bestial passion.

ASTONISHING STORIES was published by Popular Publications between
1940 and 1943. It was published under Popular's Fictioneers imprint Early
issues were filled with stories from a group of young science fiction fans
and aspiring writers who called themselves the Futurians. In its short
run, ASTONISHING STORIES published works by writers such as Isaac Asimov,
Robert Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and Leigh Brackett who would be among
the elite of science fiction writers.

FIFTEEN WESTERN TALES was a late invention by Popular Publications
editors. It first appeared in 1941, twenty years after the early western
pulps started to emerge. It was published every other month until 1946 when
it went monthly. That means that it had a slow time picking up a strong
audience during World War II.
By 1946, however, FIFTEEN WESTERN TALES started to hit its stride, and
it appeared monthly on a regular basis until 1951 when most of the pulps
were dead or dying. Unlike most pulp genres, especially the detective
pulps which died out by 1953 or so, Westerns, especially romance westerns,
survived into the 1950s and longer.
TIN STAR By George C. Appell
With hell at his back he rode his last law-hungry trail—the killer sheriff
of Tom Daw County whose own posse answered the challenge of his flaming
sixes: “Ride with me—and die!”

lightning sixes even when the man he hunted was—himself!
WAY OF THE GUNBORN By T. C McClary
They still called him the Lobo Kid, and he still had a lobo’s pride that
brought him—snarling and hated—back to one last kill!
BEYOND BOOTHILL By Philip Ketchum
Chuck Martin hated Frank Holt almost as much as he hated killing him—till
he found in that flame-torn night that his sixes had bought Frank a life—
DEVIL’S DRIVE By C. William Harrison
“You ain’t gonna cheat us out of our chance to make you a hero, mister—not
if we have to kill you first!”
TRIGGER TIME By Kenneth Fowler
“Shoot, crawl or die, mister, you still won’t sell your life cheap— for
this killing is paid for—in twenty years of hell!”
GUNS OF DISHONOR By William Heuman
Some men lose their lives when the guns begin to roar—while others find
their souls!

It is quite surprising how many very accomplished authors contributed to
Strange Detective Mysteries, and the other weird menace pulps. Of course,
there was Hugh B. Cave who specialized in horror, but there was also Bruno
Fischer, a regular BlackMask contributor and novelist who wrote as Russell
Gray. There was also Prentice Winchell, a very prolific writer who wrote
for Black Mask as Stewart Sterling, where he invented the special forces
police procedural. Accomplished writers like Sterling, Cave, Fischer, and
Schachner wrote brilliant hard-boiled horror tales, a specialty invented
in Strange Detective Mysteries.
The Crystal Doll Killings by Hugh B. Cave
Twice on the merry holiday ski train, bizarre and ghastly death left a
heap of broken crystals in place of vibrant living flesh, a warning of
the horror that lay ahead—on the excursion to Satan’s ice-locked hideaway!
School for Slaughter by Edith and Ejler Jacobson
Fifty miles south of the Sing Sing death chamber, a grieving immigrant mother
broke free from the clutching pall of fear that gripped New York’s Upper
East Side… She talked—and died in a horrible welter of exploding flesh—as
Michael December, ace private detective, signed up for a post-graduate
course in the School for Slaughter! |
|
The
Corpse Clinic by Nat Schachner
Six hours after death, two judges sat on their benches to pronounce sentence
on their murderers… Then they died again. Jerry Sloan knew he could solve
these eerie, unearthly crimes, and cut short the slaughter list—if he could
bait the invisible killer into striking at himself!
Satan’s Jigsaw Factory by Russell Grey
Willingly, three wealthy debutantes offered their gorgeous young bodies
to the ripping blade of the scalpel killer… And Ethan Burr, practitioner
of death, asked only for an invitation to join their last parade—to the charnel
house of girls who would never walk again!
The Great, Grey Hounds of Death by Chan Corbett
Death’s starving pack raced under the Florida moon on the devil’s dog
track… and human rabbits baited their fearsome feast-night run!
Tomb for the Living Dead by Leon Byrne
How could Steve Bennett know he was passing a death sentence on that naked
fugitive he sent back inside the soundproof sanitarium walls?

Launched in September 1924 by Frank A. Munsey, FLYNN’S was one of the
most popular and longest running of all the detective pulps. It ran for
more than 900 issues and 28 years under a variety of titles. It published
stories by the likes of Agatha Christie and Erle Stanley Gardner, among
others.
In June of 1928 it was renamed DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY and ran 14 years
under that title, making this its most popular incarnation. While BLACK
MASK MAGAZINE is considered the best of the mystery pulps, the 1929 O.
Henry Memorial Awards listed 69 DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY stories as “notable,”
far outpacing the closest competitor’s 21 mentions.
The Magic of Kadjawo By William Brandon
It took black magic to pierce the haunting mystery of the Lunpo, jewel

“Welcome to Sanctity Key, mister. Hell’s on a rampage and murder’s been
done, but maybe we can fetch you a snort anyhow!” It goes to prove that
the cup that cheers can be the potion that poisons.
I’ll Get Him, Boss By H. H. Stinson
“He’s a racketeer, a political boss, a gambling king—but he’s always been
a right guy to me, and that’s good enough for my dough.” That statement
sums up Mac’s feelings and explains his willingness to do anything, literally
anything, his boss asks.
The Mystery of the Disappearing Box By Joseph

PULP ARK 2013 DATES AND LOCATION
ANNOUNCED!
APRIL 26-28TH, 2013
Pro Se Productions, a leading publisher of Heroic and Action/Adventure
Fiction as well as the Founder and organizer of Pulp Ark, a writer's conference/convention
that began in Batesville, AR in 2011 announces today the dates for the
third annual event, PULP ARK 2013 as well as a change of venue.
Pulp Ark is a Writer's Conference/Convention focused on 'Pulp' fiction.
Although defined narrowly by many, Pulp Ark promotes Pulp Fiction as multi
genre multi medium storytelling that typically involves action, adventure,
larger than life heroes and villains, and a strong focus on both plot and
characterization. "Pulp," Hancock said, "began as a medium in which
many great writers told a lot of wonderful stories and readers could pick
'em up a 100 or more pages at a time for a dime. Although it's no longer
that necessarily, the sensibilities of Pulp storytelling, the style, the
methodology, all the stuff fans have remembered and enjoyed for over 80 years
about those kinds of tales, all of that is still around and available from
all sorts of authors, artists, performers and companies. That is what
Pulp Ark is all about."
"Pulp Ark 2013," stated Tommy Hancock, Pulp Ark Organizer, "will take place
in a new facility and a new town, but remains in Arkansas! Batesville,
Arkansas (the site of the first two Pulp Ark conventions) has been nothing
but a positive experience for Pulp Ark and the success we've had there,
particularly in 2012, is one of the myriad reasons we decided to make a
move. Pulp Ark 2012 cemented for us the fact that not only would we
have faithful vendors and guests willing to return for another go around
or two, but that we also had a concept that appealed to fans of all ages
and genres and mediums. With that, the decision was either to grow
or not. Part of the decision to grow was whether or not to stay
in Batesville. Several factors, most notably partnering with an excellent
facility that truly will take Pulp Ark to another level, led us to decide
that the home of Pulp Ark 2013 would be Springdale, Arkansas."
Springdale is in Washington County located in Northwest Arkansas.
Considered part of the Fayetteville Metropolitan Area, Springdale is one
town of several that are considered a piece of one of the fastest growing
metropolitan areas in the country. With over 500,000 residents in and
near Springdale, Pro Se believes that not only will this increase fan attendance
and interest in the Writer's Conference/Convention that blends every genre
and medium possible together, but will also attract both the loyal guests
and vendors from the first two years of Pulp Ark as well as a whole host
of new participants on that side of the table.
"Pulp Ark is a wonderfully unique creature in a lot of ways," Hancock
stated. "We definitely enjoy having that small town, almost family
type feel for what we do, but we also have a truly kaleidoscopic reach with
all the genres and creators that fall into our umbrella. Prose, comics,
audio, cosplay, even music, all of that and more contributes to what Pulp
is. New books, clasisc pulp mags, golden and silver age comic art
originals, and more... Classic, new, and even Pulp yet to come all has a
home at our convention and it was time to move Pulp Ark to a place where
it...and all its wonderful supporters...could truly spread their wings."
Pulp Ark 2013 will be held in Springdale, Arkansas April 26-28, 2013 at
the Holiday Inn Springdale Hotel and Convention Center in Springdale, Arkansas,
1500 South 48th Street, phone number- 1-479-751-8300. For a peek
at the venue, click HERE!
SPECIAL PRICES UNTIL JANUARY 1ST, 2013! Any and all who plan to attend
Pulp Ark 2013 and want to get the Discounted Room Rate MUST reserve a room

PULP ARK 2013 GUESTS OF HONOR
REVEALED!
APRIL 26-28TH, 2013
Pulp Ark 2013, the Official New Pulp Creators' Conference/Convention
in its third year announced today its Three Guests of Honor for the Third
year of the convention to be held in Springdale, AR.
"Pulp," Tommy Hancock, Pulp Ark Organizer and Partner in Pro Se Productions,
the company sponsoring Pulp Ark, "is a marvelous, massively diverse field...a
style that has transcended its origins in the early 20th Century in cheaply
printed magazines and found its way into every medium available to modern
fans. Classic characters and stories are finding new life with readers
and enthusiasts today and new tales centered around original characters are
exploding onto the scene as well. This year, Pulp Ark 2013 will celebrate
the variety that is Pulp in many ways. Our Three Guests of Honor
most definitely reflect both the differences and the common denominators
in Pulp, both classic and new, both originals of today and inspirations of
yesteryear.
I am extremely proud
to announce that Joe Devito, Martin Powell, and Paul Bishop
will be the Guests of Honor for Pulp Ark 2013 this year!"
Martin Powell
Martin Powell has been a professional writer since 1986. He received
early critical praise with the Eisner Award nominated Sherlock Holmes/Count

Lee Falk’s The Phantom, Frankenstein, The Spider, Kolchak the Night Stalker,
The Avenger, and more.??He also a prolific author of many acclaimed children’s
books, and is the creator of The Halloween Legion. His The Tall Tale of
Paul Bunyan won the coveted Moonbeam Children’s Book Award for Best Graphic
Novel of 2010. Martin lives in Saint Paul, MN.
Joe Devito
Joe DeVito was born on March 16, 1957 in New York City. He graduated
with honors from Parsons School of Design in 1981 and studied at the Art
Students League in New York City.
Over the years DeVito has painted many of the most recognizable Pop Culture
and Pulp icons, including King Kong, Tarzan, Doc Savage, Superman, Batman,
Wonder Woman, Spiderman, MAD magazine’s Alfred E. Newman and various characters
in World of Warcraft, with a decided emphasis in his illustration on dinosaurs,
Action Adventure, SF and Fantasy. He has illustrated hundreds of book and
magazine covers, painted several notable posters and numerous trading cards
for the major comic book and gaming houses, and created concept and character
design for the film and television industries.
In 3D, DeVito sculpted the official 100th Anniversary statue of Tarzan of
the Apes for the Edgar Rice Burroughs Estate, The Cooper Kong for the Merian
C. Cooper Estate, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman for Chronicle Book’s
Masterpiece Editions, several other notable Pop and Pulp characters. Additional
sculpting work ranges from scientifically accurate dinosaurs, a multitude
of collectibles for the Bradford Exchange in a variety of genres, to larger-than-life
statues and the award trophy for the influential art annual SPECTRUM.
An avid writer, Joe is also the co-author (with Brad Strickland) of two
novels, which he illustrated as well. The first, KONG: King of Skull Island
(DH Press) was published in 2004. The second book, Merian C. Cooper’s
KING KONG, was published by St. Martin’s Griffin, in 2005. He has also
contributed many essays and articles to such collected works as Kong Unbound:
The Cultural Impact, Pop Mythos, and Scientific Plausibility of a Cinematic
Legend and Do Androids Artists Paint In Oils When They Dream? in Pixel
or Paint: The Digital Divide In Illustration Art.
2012 saw the release of Kindle and iBook versions of KONG: King of Skull
Island that were accompanied by Part 1 of a cutting edge app version of the
book. With the property in full development as a motion picture, other plans
include the release of Part 2 of the interactive Kong book app, the beginning
of a KONG: King of Skull Island YA series and Kong collectibles for the
Cooper Estate.
Presently DeVito is painting covers for The All New Wild Adventures of
Doc Savage (written by Will Murray), while also finishing the screenplay
and developing imagery for his newest creation, a faction world of truly
epic proportions tentatively titled The Primordials.

to painting and more is represented by these fantastic Guests.
It's a privilege for Pulp Ark to have them as its centerpiece in 2013."

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #16
Unabridged Audiobook
Terror Tales Volume 1
Read by Joey D'Auria and Michael
C. Gwynne
Now available!
Among fans of classic pulp fiction,
aficionados of supernatural stories consider Popular Publications' Terror
Tales the magazine for people who found the Lovecraftian stories in Weird
Tales too tame and Universal's classic monsters too Hollywood!
Between 1934 and 1941, Terror Tales and its legion of unholy authors spewed
forth an unremitting litany of horror, terror, torment and torture—all
directed at ordinary American couples faced with supernatural menaces torn
from their deepest, darkest nightmares. Think Scream during the Great
Depression.
|
|
We have selected seven
of the most compelling stories torn from the pages of Terror Tales for
this sampler from Hell.
In Paul Ernst's horrific "The Mummy Maker," an innocent woman faces
the fearsome fate of being mummified alive! Norvell Page's disquieting "Accursed
Thirst" takes us into the dark mind of a vampire—or is it a werewolf? The
specter of a dead Egyptian deity loosed upon the modern world comes alive
in E. Hoffmann Price's eerie "The Cat Goddess." Asian elementals harass
the curious in Arthur J. Burks' creepy "Six Doors to Death." G. T. Fleming-Robert's
gruesome "Moulder of Monsters" serves up twisted human flesh. Maitland Scott's
unsettling "Shadows of Desire" leads us inexorably to a traumatic climax.
Finally, terror and horror compete for supremacy in Frederick C. Davis deeply
disturbing "Dig Deep the Graves!"
Terror Tales is narrated with appropriate doom-laden solemnity by Joey D'Auria
and Michael C. Gwynne. Shivers await! Horrors abound! Try not to listen
after midnight. We are serious about this. Not for children! Seven terrifying
hours. $27.98 Audio CDs / $13.99 Download.

The Spider #25: Overlord
of the Damned
Throughout the dives of the Underworld and in the dens of criminals, the
news was spread in eager whispers: "The Boss will get the Spider! He'll
make himself th' biggest shot in the country!"... But those nearest the
criminal genius sat silent, remembering the horrible acid vat reserved for
those who talked too much. Richard Weatworth — that grim Spider who strikes
when the Law fails or dares not — faces the bitterest decision of his life.
His servants have been maddened, his beloved Nita is a hostage to doom,
and he must brand Kirkpatrick — his very dearest friend — with the red seal
of the Spider! Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have
been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every
story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
The Spider #36: The Coming
of The Terror
America had never before known two such men as those who were pitted against
each other: Richard Wentworth, the Spider, the avenger — and Tang-akhmut,
the sinister Egyptian, the destroyer. Never before had America witnessed
such Titanic Struggle. The man who came out of the East set out deliberately
to rule this country — or ruin it — by debauching the women, by promising
the men a carnival of looting and rapine and crime. Richard Wentworth knew
that he alone could cope with this all-powerful Oriental criminal — yet Richard
Wentworth had been swiftly stripped of his armor and his weapons, his wealth
and his friends. An unarmed man attacking a Juggernaut, the Spider plunges
into this epic battle! Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures
have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features
every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.

Operator 5 #17: Hosts of the Flaming
Death
Gold — a nation's strength for war and peace — had been completely
looted from the Treasury in Washington by an octopus-like international syndicate.
A mysterious madman — more cunning even than death — captained the ruthless
spy-crew which was sucking the life-blood from our land. The proudest nation
in the world seemed helpless — doomed! One man alone, Operator 5 of the
American Intelligence, grasped the full import of that crafty plunder-plan.
And he — known to only his best friends as Jimmy Christopher — was spied
upon by his brothers of the Service, suspected of treason by a short-sighted
superior, hampered by senseless bureaucracy. In the hour of America's greatest
peril, Operator 5 must sacrifice father, friends, honor, and his beloved
in order to wrest victory from what promises national dishonor and ignominious
defeat! Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been
beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every
story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.

Captain Future #21 January 1950
The Return of Captain Future
This is one of the infamous "final seven" Captain Future tales.
After a run of twenty pulp issues, the quarterly magazine closed. But that
was not the end of Captain Future. He returned in a series of short stories
published in Startling Stories magazine, beginning with the January 1950
issue. Edmond Hamilton, creator of Captain Future and author of the majority
of the full-length novels, returned to pen seven more Captain Future stories.
His style had matured, as had his original audience, and these final seven
Captain Future stories are considered to be some of his best. Captain Future
left the pages of Startling Stories with the May 1951 issue, but editors
left open the possibility that Captain Future might return some day. True
fans are still waiting. Until then, Captain Future returns in these vintage
pulp tales, reissued for today's readers in electronic format.
Born and raised on the moon, Curt Newton survived the murder of his
scientist parents to become the protector of the galaxy known as Captain
Future. With his Futuremen, Grag the giant robot, Otho, the shape-shifting
android and Simon Wright, the Living Brain, he patrols the solar system
in the fastest space ship ever constructed, the Comet, pursuing human
monsters and alien threats to Earth and her neighbor planets.

was one of the most popular. It came from Popular Publications, whose publisher
Harry Steeger was inspired by the Grand Guignol theater of Paris. This breed
of pulp story survived less than ten years, but in that time, they became
infamous, even to this day. This ebook contains a collection of stories
from the pages of Terror Tales magazine, all written by Paul Ernst, reissued

Teel James Glenn
ADVENTURES IN OTHERWHEN
Now available!
“Author Teel James Glenn approaches
the alternate universe theory from the standpoint of the pulp fiction author.
His version of a time cop rides Slepnir, Odin's 8-legged horse and is stuck
with a Chimp as a sidekick at a magic convention. Adolf Hitler turned
from politics to become an adventure writer and heads to Egypt with Robert
E. Howard (who left Cross Plains, Texas). Add in a Skullmask story,
a story featuring the intrepid newspaper reporter Moxie of Maxi and Moxie
fame, a steampunk story of transformation, warbots and romance, and a medieval
tale of magic and betrayal and you have a fun collection of pulp adventure
set in a universe of maybes and what-ifs.
Teel James Glenn was voted Best Pulp Fiction Author of the year for 2012:
in Adventures in Otherwhen he shows off his skill. Adventures is classic
pulp--with strong men, females ranging from femme-fatale to the girl next
door (with some who manage both), evil Nazis, an homage to Pulp's beginnings,
and a couple of tie-in stories to Glenn's series.”

Weird Tales 360 - Now available!
The
first issue helmed by new editor Marvin Kaye
is scheduled to ship Friday, October
19.
It’s an auspicious and entirely appropriate number, I think. After changing
direction several times over the last few years, Weird Tales has now turned
360-degrees and returned to where it started: publishing classic weird
fiction.
The theme of the first Kaye issue is “The Elder Gods,” and the table of
contents makes it clear that he is whole-heartedly embracing the Lovecraftian
fiction that helped make Weird Tales one of the most sought-after magazines
of the pulp era.
Weird Tales #360 has short stories by Brian Lumley, Michael Shea,
Darrell Schweitzer and many others. Click here for the full table of contents
