For those who came in late...
While the original pulp movement, so named because of the cheap paper the stories were originally printed on, had its "heyday" between the Great Depression and the end of World War 2, by no means has the genre died.
Today there are companies that remember the past, and create new adventures of not only old favorites, but of brand new characters as well.
Let's take a brief look at some of those latest efforts.
Pro Se Press continues to not only publish books, the latest previously mentioned in this e-zine being Creeping Dawn: The Rise of the Black Centipede by Chuck Miller and The Adventures of Lazarus Gray by Barry Reese, but also releases a monthly magazine as well.
