Cool stuff, as always. I have to admit that I'd never heard of Operator 5 before.

I wonder, could Zorro and Conan be pulp? Zorro may be too early, but I think the case can be made for Conan.

Oh yeah, they are definitely pulp. I did a Zorro vid not that long ago, and will be making a Conan one in the future. Part of a second series of videos focusing on characters that didn't have their own magazine title, but nonetheless are legendary (like Tarzan, etc). Glad you like these! :)

Excellent video! It's a shame that the Operator Nº5 series never have a clear end.

By the way, where I can find information about the Pulp villains? I am writing some things inspired on these wonderfull stories and style, but for some reason, I am unnable to make a good villain. I only knew Doctor Kreuse for G-8 and Shiwan Khan from The Shadow, thanks.

Thanks! :)

The problem with pulp villains is that they usually didn't last long, with all the pulp justice being handed out etc.

I have some info about pulp villains I think. I'll send you a message about them soon.

Thanks again!
