2010 is already shaping up to be a great year for pulp fiction. We’ll have another full year of not only Doc Savage and The Shadow from Sanctum Books, but also quarterly issues of The Avenger and The Whisperer. From Girasol Collectables, there will be twelve new Spider pulp replicas as well as eight adventures of The Master of Men in the popular doubles format. Girasol will also be publishing two facsimile editions collecting all of H. P. Lovecraft’s output for Weird Tales magazine. John Gunnison’s Adventure House will have six more issues of High Adventure–fast approaching its 20th anniversary–four issues of G-8 and His Battle Aces, about three dozen pulp replicas, and more. And of course, there will be plenty of other books to choose from with the offerings from Age of Aces Books, the award-winning Altus Press, Black Dog Books, Pulpville Press, and other small publishers.     (more…)

Although PulpFest 2010 is nearly nine months away, there could very well be a pulp con coming up, right in your home town. The first two Saturdays of November will feature three pulp-related shows, scattered across the United States.

Classicon 36 will be held in Lansing, Michigan on November 7. Ray Walsh’s long-running show features pulps, paperbacks, comics, calendars, pin-ups, original artwork and more. There will be 35 tables of goodies available. For further information, contact Ray at his Curious Book Shop in East Lansing, MI.

Down in Bordentown, New Jersey, just off Exit 7 of the Turnpike, you’ll find about three dozen tables filled with rare pulp magazines, vintage paperbacks, pulp reprints and movie collectibles. Rich Harvey has been putting on this one-day show for about ten years and it’s a blast. For further details about Pulp Adventurecon, please visit the Bold Venture Press website or drop Rich an email.   (more…)
