PulpFest

Ten Months to PulpFest

The PulpFest organizing committee has decided to return to Mars, Pennsylvania for our 2019 convention. We’ll be back at the wonderful DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry. Per our members, it’s a terrific venue for PulpFest.

Located where three major roadways intersect, the DoubleTree boasts a world-class restaurant. Many other restaurants are nearby, suitable for a variety of tastes. The adventurous can find more dining, shopping, and nightlife in downtown Pittsburgh.

We’re happy to return to Mars for summer’s gathering of fans and collectors of pop culture. We seek to honor pulp fiction and pulp art by celebrating the many ways they’ve inspired creators. We hope you’ll join us at PulpFest 2019 for “Children of the Pulps and Other Stories.” Expect another great dealers’ room and superb programming from PulpFest and FarmerCon.

PulpFest 2019 will begin on Thursday evening, August 15 and run through Sunday, August 18. Please join us for our celebration of mystery, adventure, science fiction, and more. If you enjoy  genre writers such as J. K. Rowling, Michael Connelly, and Stephen King, you’ll love PulpFest!

(Despite reading DOC SAVAGE MAGAZINE as a boy, Jerry Siegel couldn’t recall if the character had influenced him when he created Superman. It had been “so doggone long ago.”

There were similarities between the two characters. Doc was “The Man of Bronze,” while Superman was “The Man of Steel.” Both characters had a “Fortress of Solitude.” Both were named “Clark.” And in a 1934 advertisement, Street & Smith labeled Doc Savage a “superman.”

We hope you’ll join PulpFest in 2019 as we explore the many ways pulp fiction and pulp art have influenced writers, artists, film directors, software developers, game designers, and other creators over the decades.)

PulpFest Returns to Pittsburgh!

PulpFest 2024 will begin Thursday, Aug. 1, and run through Sunday, Aug. 4. It will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry. Please join us for "Spice, Spies, & Shaw" and much more at PulpFest 2024.
