Remembering the Pulps

My first video, a tribute to the great pulp-magazines of the 20's-50's. It's a bit longer than I thought it would be, hence the looping music.

I'm currently working on my own hero-pulp novels to be published soon, and these are my influences. Check out the developments at the Miami Aerodrome Research and Development Labratories at: http://miamiaerodrome.wordpress.com

My first reading lessons were from pulp westerns and sci fi man those covers bring back memories My folks had racks of them all the way back to the thirties.

@oldgamergeek Very cool! I've been lucky enough to track down a handful of original pulps... they're the crown jewels in my collection.

Great video. I would love to see some more. Heck, I'd love to do something like this myself.

Want to see more? Look no further than my channel. Hero-pulp essays abound, with more on the way. Hope you like them!

[MARDLtransmit]

Good theory, actually. Makes me wonder...

Love your username, by the way :)

Nicely done, Shame the news stand photo and some of the cover scans are blurry; but hey, for a first effort - marvelous, very enjoyable.

I know. I've gotten better, definitely. Thanks for checking it out, Doc!

Thanks.

While Dejah Thoris dressed as Sailor Mars would be cute, Sailor Mars dressed as Dejah Thoris would be better.

Sports pulps and romance pulps...

They're still doing that in Japan. They're comics, but still, the sports stuff and teen boy stuff and girly stuff...

I have to wonder if American pulps might have helped spark the whole manga thing in Japan after the War?

[MARDLtransmit]

Wow. So I did it right, then?

Honestly, thanks so much for the compliments. I guess I'd better get busy on the follow-up video now...
