F. PAUL WILSON Guest
of Honor 2018
Windy City Pulp and
Paper Convention is a few months away.
CELEBRATING HAROLD HERSEY’S 125TH BIRTHDAY AND THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF WINGS AND THE AIR WAR PULPS We’re just over three months away from the 18th annual Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention at The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL. We’d previously announced that we’d sold out all 155 tables in our dealer room in record time. We’re now very pleased to announce that NYT bestselling author F. Paul Wilson will be our Guest of Honor at our 2018 con! Wilson is the author of over 50 books, many of which feature his popular anti-hero, Repairman Jack. Among his numerous awards are the Bram Stoker Award, the Prometheus Award, the Porgie Award and the Inkpot Award. His first published story, “The Cleaning Machine,” appeared in the March 1971 issue of Startling Mystery Stories, while his second appeared a month later, in the April 1971 issue of the John Campbell edited Analog. His newest novel, “The God Gene,” is scheduled to be released by Forge Books on January 2, 2018. Wilson contributed the Foreword to The Art of the Pulps, published in October 2017, where he shared that “I love the pulps. … I’ve been a fan of the pulps since my teens…” We’re excited to have him as our GoH, and we know that our attendees will enjoy meeting him at the convention! Friday Night Auction to feature material from the estate of Glenn Lord We’re honored to announce that this year’s Friday
night auction will draw on material from the estate of Glenn
Lord. As literary executor of the Robert E. Howard estate for
nearly three decades, Lord was instrumental in popularizing the
works of Howard, and in making reams of previously unpublished
Howard material available. It would be difficult to overstate his
contributions to Howard’s legacy. Not surprisingly, his own pulp
collection was centered around Howard, but also contained many other
titles as well. If you’re a fan of pulps – and particularly if you’re
a fan of the man who brought us Conan and so many other memorable characters
– you won’t want to miss it!
We’ll be posting more details over the coming weeks concerning the pulps, fanzines and other rare material that will be in the auction. For now, we’ll just post the one piece of original art that will be in the auction – Frank Utpatel’s original cover art for the second Robert E. Howard Arkham House collection, “The Dark Man and Others”. The art was a little too large for my scanner, so these images are very slightly cropped, but we’ll post full sized shots later. We’re showing it in two images. The image on the left is Utpatel’s original art, on illustration paper. The image on the right is scanned with the overlay (which contains some image and text) on top of the art. For Hotel Information/Registration information, visit the link below. For con registration (Tables and membership), visit the link below. You have several choices to register for this year's convention. 3 Day - $35.00 1 Day [Fri or Sat] - $25.00 1 Day [Sunday] - $10.00 2018 Windy

In stock on January 26 will be all five books in the classic Western series by Kent Thorn, The Mavericks. Originally published by Popular Publications, the Mavericks were a quintet of outlaws fighting for good in the old west. A throwback version of the same theme used in Popular’s Secret 6 series, this series has been out of print for some time. However, they’re available now in the digest-sized Popular Heroes series. Get them now! Mavericks #1: Five Against the LawMavericks #1: Five Against the Law They were wanted men, those five hard-riding travelers of the still night trails…. Mavericks all, they had entered outlawry for five different reasons, drawn irresistibly down the Owlhoot Trail from five different walks of rangeland life. They became one living inseparable unit of grim, uncompromising justice, united as one man by their friendship, their burning championship of the underdog—and the high, white flame of their courage…. Step up folks and meet the five Mavericks—Lance Clayton, Doc Grimson, Charlie Parr, Lockjaw Johnson, and Flint Maddox…. You’ll ride with them through many a blood-tingling tale of high adventure and heady romance during the months to come. We know you’ll like your saddlemates! 149 pages | 5.25″ x 8″ | $12.95 softcover Mavericks #2: Mesquite ManhuntersMavericks #2: Mesquite Manhunters Men beyond the law, forever outcast from the security and happiness of normal life, were these five inseparable owlhooters. But they rode straight into a bristling hornet’s nest of posse guns to take up a blood debt for the law-abiding folk of Tarpaulin—who had disowned them! Another great novel of those unforgettable, recklessly courageous bravos—Doc Grimson, Lance Clayton, Charlie Parr, Flint Maddox, and the solemn-faced, deadly-shooting Lockjaw Johnson! 159 pages | 5.25″ x 8″ | $12.95 softcover Mavericks #3: Bait for the Lobo PackMavericks #3: Bait for the Lobo Pack Five men, bound inseparably together by the immortal bonds of outlaw partnership, rode together below the Border to loot the rich booty of a thieving lobo pack. But the girl they found in that sand-town hell-hole drove them instead to a courage test in a flaming crucible of desert death and blasting killer guns. 158 pages | 5.25″ x 8″ | $12.95 softcover Mavericks #4: Doc Grimson’s Outlaw PosseMavericks #4: Doc Grimson’s Outlaw Posse In hidden cabins and moonless rendezvous along the twisted Outlaw Trail, grim riders still whisper the names of the Five Mavericks; still tell, in the hushed midnight silence, of that time in Bear Creek County when Doc Grimson and his longrider bunch risked a sheriff’s noose and lobo lead to cleanse from their name the damning killer sign—braved the hungry guns of an entire county so that one victim of their supposed ruthless gunplay might realize her rightful heritage! 167 pages | 5.25″ x 8″ | $12.95 softcover Mavericks #5: Charlie Parr’s Gunsmoke CureMavericks #5: Charlie Parr’s Gunsmoke Cure Charlie Parr, white-haired member of the five inseparable, long-riding Mavericks, wanted to rob a bank and lay up an old-age cache of outlaw loot. The other four were willing to play along—until they ran blindly into a more exciting, more reckless, job, where they could chance their lives and gun-arm skill for a girl’s happiness—and a brave man’s lost courage! 147 pages | 5.25″ x 8″ | $12.95 softcover |

night auction will draw on material from the estate of Glenn
Lord. As literary executor of the Robert E. Howard estate for
nearly three decades, Lord was instrumental in popularizing the
works of Howard, and in making reams of previously unpublished
Howard material available. It would be difficult to overstate his
contributions to Howard’s legacy. Not surprisingly, his own pulp
collection was centered around Howard, but also contained many other
titles as well. If you’re a fan of pulps – and particularly if you’re
a fan of the man who brought us Conan and so many other memorable characters
– you won’t want to miss it!
We’ll be posting more details over the coming weeks concerning the pulps, fanzines and other rare material that will be in the auction. For now, we’ll just post the one piece of original art that will be in the auction – Frank Utpatel’s original cover art for the second Robert E. Howard Arkham House collection, “The Dark Man and Others”. The art was a little too large for my scanner, so these images are very slightly cropped, but we’ll post full sized shots later. We’re showing it in two images. The image on the left is Utpatel’s original art, on illustration paper. The image on the right is scanned with the overlay (which contains some image and text) on top of the art. For Hotel Information/Registration information, visit the link below. For con registration (Tables and membership), visit the link below. You have several choices to register for this year's convention. 3 Day - $35.00 1 Day [Fri or Sat] - $25.00 1 Day [Sunday] - $10.00 2018 Windy

F. PAUL WILSON Guest
of Honor 2018
Windy City Pulp and
Paper Convention is a few months away.
CELEBRATING HAROLD HERSEY’S 125TH BIRTHDAY AND THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF WINGS AND THE AIR WAR PULPS We’re just over three months away from the 18th annual Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention at The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL. We’d previously announced that we’d sold out all 155 tables in our dealer room in record time. We’re now very pleased to announce that NYT bestselling author F. Paul Wilson will be our Guest of Honor at our 2018 con! Wilson is the author of over 50 books, many of which feature his popular anti-hero, Repairman Jack. Among his numerous awards are the Bram Stoker Award, the Prometheus Award, the Porgie Award and the Inkpot Award. His first published story, “The Cleaning Machine,” appeared in the March 1971 issue of Startling Mystery Stories, while his second appeared a month later, in the April 1971 issue of the John Campbell edited Analog. His newest novel, “The God Gene,” is scheduled to be released by Forge Books on January 2, 2018. Wilson contributed the Foreword to The Art of the Pulps, published in October 2017, where he shared that “I love the pulps. … I’ve been a fan of the pulps since my teens…” We’re excited to have him as our GoH, and we know that our attendees will enjoy meeting him at the convention! Friday Night Auction to feature material from the estate of Glenn Lord We’re honored to announce that this year’s Friday
night auction will draw on material from the estate of Glenn
Lord. As literary executor of the Robert E. Howard estate for
nearly three decades, Lord was instrumental in popularizing the
works of Howard, and in making reams of previously unpublished
Howard material available. It would be difficult to overstate his
contributions to Howard’s legacy. Not surprisingly, his own pulp
collection was centered around Howard, but also contained many other
titles as well. If you’re a fan of pulps – and particularly if you’re
a fan of the man who brought us Conan and so many other memorable characters
– you won’t want to miss it!
We’ll be posting more details over the coming weeks concerning the pulps, fanzines and other rare material that will be in the auction. For now, we’ll just post the one piece of original art that will be in the auction – Frank Utpatel’s original cover art for the second Robert E. Howard Arkham House collection, “The Dark Man and Others”. The art was a little too large for my scanner, so these images are very slightly cropped, but we’ll post full sized shots later. We’re showing it in two images. The image on the left is Utpatel’s original art, on illustration paper. The image on the right is scanned with the overlay (which contains some image and text) on top of the art. For Hotel Information/Registration information, visit the link below.
