Once again join us on a journey back
to an “Age of Aces” as “Battling” Mord Grogan burns through
the tortured skies of pre-WWII China. Grogan, an
American pilot, commands the all-Chinese “Dragon Squadron”
in their battle against the invading Japanese along with
his three valiant flight commanders: Monty St. John, the lanky Limey;
slender Hank Goyen, the dapper Frog; and last but not least, the
imperturbable Ah Im, Grogan’s boyhood chum of old Nanking days,
now premier olive-toned ace of the Dragon clan. Never before has
the struggle been so fierce or the danger of Oriental treachery
so great!
WWI pilot Robert M. Burtt wrote the fourteen
Battling Grogan stories in the early 1930’s for Flying Aces
Magazine before becoming well known as the co-creator and writer
of aviation-themed radio serials like The Air Adventures of
Jimmy Allen, Captain Midnight, Hop Harrigan and Sky King.

Dangerous
Men by Gordon Young
Before there was Marlowe. Before there was the Continental Op, Before there
was
Three-Gun Terry and Race Williams . . . there was Don Everhard.
A hard boiled man in a poached egg world.
A chance encounter one foggy night in San Francisco puts Don Everhard in
contact with Melville Summers a wealthy man being menaced for some reason
by extortionists. For safety he and his wife and his’s wife’s sister have
been living on a steam yacht out in the harbor - where Summers thinks he
will be safe from attack. On a whim Everhard offers to help him, not as
an employee, not as some private detective, which he is not, but as one friend
to another. That Everhard knows Summers’ sister-in-law and parted from her
on bad terms is a complication not a benefit. Those begins a short novel
of complex characters, clever plots desperate actions and above all... dangerous
men.
Backing up this story is “A Bluff and a Little Luck” a short story where
Everhard’s gambling skills are put to the test to thwart the plans of some
German spies.
Dangerous Men - two tales of the first hard-boiled man, by Gordon
Young (author of the Hurricane Williams stories) in print for just $9.00

The
Thrill Book Library - Cobra Girl and other Eastern Adventures
Our second release this week is the last entry in The Thrill Book Library
- Cobra Girl and other Eastern Adventures. The collection opens with
the long novelet, Cobra Girl, wherein a mild-mannered playboy gets kidnaped
and hauled off to India for reasons unknown. The first night there, far
up a river in an isolated province he sees a beautiful white woman peering
out of an abandoned temple. Curious why she was there he jumps ship to
find her only to be attacked by men of the local Raja. The girl had been
kidnaped by the Raja to be one of his many wives but she had escaped to
a nearby temple where, surrounded by Cobras which she seemed to easily
command she had been protected from the potentate.
As the Raja presses a more aggressive campaign the other men from the
boat arrived. The mission had been to rescue the girl all along. After
some tense moments they beat a retreat to the save and set sail for home
but the mystery only continues as one by one the adventures die - killed
by a cobra’s bite. Who is slaughtering the band of heroes and can he be
stopped before all have fallen to his subtle plan?
Next up is a short tales, The Mate by May Freud Dickenson, where a cruel
man tried to cure his wife of her fear of snakes by locking her in their
bedroom with cobra he had just killed, forgetting in his arrogance that
cobras mate for life.
The Vengeance of Vishnu by George C. Jenks is a New York crime story where
the body of a man cursed by a Hindu cult disappears, re-appears and is turned
onto an aged skeleton in a matter of days. It’ll take more than the usual
police work to straighten out this mystery.
At The Hands of The Master by Everett McNeil. A down and out man is asked
to attend a Hindu Fakir at his apartment one day only to find himself drugged
and while unconscious has a weird dream of being someone else, in the far-off
sub-continent and forced to betray and murder the kingdom’s ruler. When
the penniless American awakes he is richly rewarded and set on his way. A
newsboy hawking a paper recounts how an India price had been murdered that
very day. Exactly as he had dreamed it!
Finally, because these four Indian related tales were running a little
short, we’ve added a short detective novelet, The Crystal Ball by James
Cary Hawes. A Hollywood actor needs to get married that day, before his
rich aunt dies but his efforts to pick up a bride gets constantly delayed
by a succession of woman all looking for a large diamond, the crystal ball
of the title. Why do they all seem to think he has it, and who starts killing
off his guests as the night goes on. It’s a funny comedy A touch of the
urban wit often on display in the pages of the Thrill Book.
Over 60 pages of fine entertainment for just $6.00 (plus postage)

Blood 'N' Thunder / Murania
Press
The Blood 'N' Thunder #38 - Summer 2013
Now shipping!
This issue’s outstanding feature is a lengthy excerpt
from Nathan Madison’s recently published book, Anti-Foreign
Imagery in American Pulps and Comic Books, 1920-1960. In this
richly detailed, extensively illustrated piece Nathan explores
“Yellow Peril” fiction from the pulps. His exhaustive study complements
Bill Maynard’s celebration of Fu Manchu’s centennial from our
last issue.
Another book published earlier this year, Will Murray’s Skull
Island, pitted Doc Savage against King Kong and aroused much
interest not only among the Bronze Man’s fans in general but
devotees of Philip José Farmer’s Wold Newton Universe
in particular. BnT contributor and Wold Newton adherent Rick Lai examines
Skull Island and catalogs its deviations from the Universe in an
unusually absorbing work of scholarship. In a separate piece Will
responds to critics of his approach. Let it never be said that BnT
refuses to present both sides of a story!
Will’s second contribution to BnT #38 is an 80th Anniversary
hat-tip to the long-running hero pulp G-8 and His Battle Aces,
adventures from which a re now being offered in audiobook form
by Radio Archives. He covers a hitherto overlooked attempt by
Popular Publications editors to gauge reader interest in a proposed
shift of emphasis for the magazine.
This summer marked another important anniversary in American
pop culture: Superman debuted 75 years ago in the first
issue of Action Comics. Mike Bifulco, author of The Original
Superman on Television (a definitive guide now in its third edition),
weighs in on the recent theatrical release Man of Steel and
reflects on the enduring popularity of the TV series starring George
Reeves.
This time around our “Tricks of the Trade” department boasts
a particularly comprehensive installment by long-time pulp
editor and science-fiction specialist Robert A. W. “Doc” Lowndes.
Originally written for a 1949 writers’ magazine, this 6400-word
treatise is perhaps the most informative piece of its type we’ve
published to date. It provides the clearest look yet at how pulp
editors appraised the manuscripts they received by the thousands
every year.
BnT #38 also reprints two fascinating short stories culled from
vintage pulp magazines. James B. Connelly’s “The Last Passenger,”
from an early 1913 issue of The Popular Magazine, may well
have been the first work of mass-market fiction inspired by the
Titanic tragedy. “The Tenth Man,” from a 1922 issue of Adventure,
is a taut tale of African intrigue by the unjustly forgotten
Robert Simpson.
Subscriber copies will begin shipping shortly after Labor
Day. To those of you who either aren’t BnT subscribers
or have let your subscriptions lapse, remember that signing up
for a year earns you a 20-percent discount on the recently published
Blood ‘n’ Thunder Guide to Pulp Fiction. There’s a special page
on the Murania Press website that allows you to do just that.
Individual
copies of Blood ‘n’ Thunder #38 can be had for $11.95 plus shipping
from the Murania Press site as soon as they are available.
The cost of a one-year, four-issue subscription is $40,
which represents a considerable savings.

SALE TIED TO BLOOD
'N' THUNDER SUBSCRIPTIONS
The long-awaited Blood ‘n’ Thunder Guide to Pulp
Fiction, many months in preparation, is now available
from Murania Press.
A greatly revised and expanded version of 2007’s Blood
‘n’ Thunder Guide to Collecting Pulps, this massive new
book has been positioned as more of a reference work
than a mere manual for hobbyists. It’s a complete history of
the pulp magazine (told in more detail than ever attempted by a
single author) wrapped up in one-volume. Its 2007 predecessor had
226 pages and close to 400 pulp-cover reproductions. The new Guide
to Pulp Fiction has 414 pages and 700 cover repros, along with
a smattering of original cover paintings.
Chapters from the old Guide have been extensively reworked.
New chapters have been added on Spicy pulps, sports
pulps, love pulps, and war-and-aviation pulps. Also, two
new appendices have been created for pulp-fiction readers
who don’t collect the vintage magazines. One appendix gives
basic information on the best small-press reprint publishers,
while the other lists the most important anthologies of
pulp stories in various genres.
The Blood ‘n’ Thunder Guide to Pulp Fiction is priced
at $29.95, which includes shipping to domestic U.S. buyers.
However, Murania Press is also making the book available
at a 20 percent discount to anybody who purchases it along
with a one-year subscription to Blood ‘n’ Thunder. This special

The Emperor
The Underground
Pulp Action Sensation – First Time Ever in Book Form!
Deerstalker Editions has just released two more books reprinted
from Charles Lee Jackson's underground pulp magazine novels featuring The
Emperor, a debonaire 1960s adventurer with a team of agents who help him
out on his cases.
In The Emperor Marked for Death the action races from the silver mines
of Idaho, to Hollywood and Malibu, to a slumbering volcano in the Cascades,
as The Emperor tackles a monstrous enemy so deadly that even the evil Executive
of Crime known as Continent-Eight joins forces with our hero! And because
he is the only thing stopping this fiend, he becomes ... The Emperor Marked
for Death!--
In The Executive of Crime, Federal Agent Max Decker finds himself undermining
the evil Continent- Eight from the inside, after he is forced to kill The
Gila, one of its leaders, and assumes The Gila's identity. But when
the other heads of Continent-Eightdisover Decker's impersonation, he is arrested
and put on trial for The Gila's murder - with only one hope of escaping the
ultimate penalty ... his old friend with the reputation for pulling a rabbit
out of any hat, The Emperor!
Both novels are available everywhere as ebooks at 3.99 and trade paperback
at Amazon for $8.99.
Are you a fan of James Bond and
Cotton Malone? Of “Maverick” and “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”? Of Modesty Blaise
or Catwoman? Of Spiderman or Green Lantern? Of Doc Savage and the Spider?
Then prepare to enter a world of adventure and danger, of a hero unequaled
since the days of the movie serials, of comic books, and the yellowed pages
of the pulp magazines, a world of memorable characters, good and evil. Welcome
to the Emperorverse!
For over four decades, in dozens of privately published comic books and
pulp magazines, Charles Lee Jackson II has produced a unique body of work
set in what his fans hail as the "Emperorverse". Its central figure is The
Emperor, a crusader for good who doubles as the harassed head of a minor Hollywood
movie studio. The Emperor is smart, swift, capable of amazing feats, all
but indestructible, well dressed, able to charm beautiful women with a single
smile. He leads the fight for law and justice against all odds.
In his war against evil, The Emperor is aided by as memorable a group of
allies in crime-busting as Doc Savage's fabled companions. His supporting
cast includes Bill Mills, musician, stuntman, and adventurer who joined The
Emperor to make motion pictures and stayed to fight crime; Max Decker, Federal
Intelligence agent who met The Emperor in the field and worked for many years
as a crime-fighter while masquerading as a criminal gang-leader, the Gila;
the amazing Shanghai Lil, red-headed woman as skilled with a blade as her
wits. Plus a host of costumed heroines and heroes, super and otherwise, among
them Shooting Star, Solara, Nemesis, Cat's-Eye, Fireball, and the robot
Titan.
Opposing him is Continent-Eight, the international Executive of Crime and
its creator, Varan Haruchi, AKA The Black Dragon, whose exposure to arcane
experimental chemicals has resulted in his long-lived youthful appearance.
The Emperor also encounters a host of other evil-doers in his war against
crime and destruction: Dr. Yalta, doctor and dentist once recruited by US
intelligence for his resemblance to warlord Adolf Hitler, kept young by the
same accident, who now supervises medical and scientific crimes for Continent-Eight.
Maskman, a mysterious helmeted figure, whose true identity is unknown even
to his partners in crime. Victoria Poten, The Jade Dragon, third generation
Eurasian crime boss whose personal goals of crime often place her at odds
with her partners. Horst Sterling Rosefeld, the mysterious and powerful leader
of the Church of Nihilism, dedicated to the destruction of the human race,
and ruthless enough to accomplish it. And a rogue's gallery of sinister figures,
notable among them Johnny Rainbow, the Steel Skull, Xavier Xavier AKA Dr.
Double X, the Eye, Alain Sarnov, the Dragon, Warhead, and Madame von Teufel.
They are all part of the Emperorverse, an incredible assembly of international
spies, space aliens, mad scientists, colorful villains, costumed heroes, secret
agents, spacemen, and even the cowboys of yesteryear, all engaged in the
wildest and wooliest adventures you’ve ever read.
It's an amazing and unequaled creative tapestry, woven into a complex,
interrelated web that snares the imagination.
In this newest installment released to the public, the actions races from
the silver mines of Idaho, to Hollywood and Malibu, to a slumbering volcano
in the Cascades. The Emperor tackles a monstrous enemy so deadly that even
the crooks of Continent-Eight join in the fight against him, a villain who
plans not merely to subjugate humanity but to destroy it - at any cost. And
because he's the only thing stopping this fiend, Our Hero becomes... The
Emperor Marked for Death!

on The New Pulp Heroes. It’s about time we catalog
new characters appearing in books and anthologies. Since
Tom does not have time to read everything being published,
he is offering space for legitimate creators of new pulp characters
to send him their data, and he will post their essays. The
only changes Tom will make to essays will be editing and format.
If you wish, include a jpeg of a book cover or b&w illustration
if you have permission from the artist. By sending Tom your essays,
you are giving me permission to promote and showcase this
data. Eventually, it would be nice to see all the data published
in book format. Essays should be up to 500 words, and include
information on MC and back up characters, creator, title of books,
and where the stories can be found.

Pulp Adventurecon
2013
Saturday, November 2nd,
2013
On Saturday,
November 2nd, 2013, the annual Pulp AdventureCon will convert
the Ramada Inn in of Bordentown, NJ into a Pulp Collectors
Mecca. There will be vendors with rare pulp magazines,
movie posters, and vintage paperbacks. There are also several
new publications that are reviving both the heroes and tradition
of pulp fiction.
Pulp magazines were an inexpensive form of
entertainment in the days before the internet, cell phones,
and even television. They first appeared with
Argosy in 1897, flourished in the 1930s, and ultimately died
or reinvented themselves in the 1950s. Characters like The
Shadow, Tarzan, and Zorro prospered in the pulps, while authors
like Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Edgar Rice Burroughs,
and Ray Bradbury actually started their careers in these rough old
magazines.
We have 34 vendors
spoken for to date ... giving us room for about 12 more to fit comfortably
in the room.
Here's the list of attending people and tables
so far:
Paul Herman (1); John Gunnison (4); Martin
Grams (2); Brendan Faulkner (3); Ed Hulse (1); Cowboy Tony (3); Rock
Savage (1); Bruce Tinkel (2) Carol Scherling (1); Mike Chomko (1); CJ
Henderson (1); Mike Carbanaro (2); Gary Lovisi (1); Joe Rainone (4); Rob
Levitt (1); Jack Cullers (1); Gale Heimbach (1); Mark Halegua* (1); Patrick
Dunne* (2)
The Pulp AdventureCon will be held at the Ramada
Inn, 1083 Route 206, Bordentown, NJ.
The show runs from 10AM to 5PM. Admission is $5.00.

Will Murray's Pulp Classics
#36
Dime Mystery Magazine Audiobook Volume 1
by Norvell W. Page, Frederick C. Davis, and Paul Ernst
Read by Michael C. Gwynne. Liner Notes by Will Murray
Now available!
We here at Radio Archives were pleasantly surprised when, with more
than a smidgen of trepidation, we released our first Terror Tales audiobook
last year. It was a hit, as were a slew of Terror Tales eBooks we subsequently
released.
We thought: If customers like this brand of retro-horror so much, why not
go back to the dark well from which it all sprang? That meant Dime Mystery
Magazine, the pulp that started the Weird Menace sub-genre back around Halloween
of the horrific year of 1933. Since we were planning on celebrating the 80th
anniversary of Popular Publication’s G-8 And His Battles Aces and The Spider
during this autumnal epoch, why not do the same for their sister publication?
|
|
In brief, Popular Publications had a foundering title in Dime Mystery
Book. It featured lead mystery novels with an emphasis on the sinister and
the suspenseful. But readers shunned it. Instead of canceling the magazine,
Popular dropped the word Book from the title, booted out of the feature novel,
and ramped up the terror and horror. The reinvigorated Dime Mystery Magazine
went through the roof, spawning Terror Tales and Horror Stories, as well as
lesser, but equally sinister satellites.
Dime Mystery magazine remained the flagship, however. It offered the best
writers doing their most memorable stories. All were built around the premise
of ordinary young couples thrown into contact with demonic forces they must
battle alone. No calling 911 allowed! Up against the Devil, it was Do or Die….
For our first Dime Mystery audiobook, we’ve chosen a trio of terrible tales
of tension and terror, each one weirder than the one before! Here’s the rundown:
Norvell Page’s dark drama, “The Dance of the Skeletons” leads the fear
parade. It had the distinction of being the cover story to that first reimagined
issue of Dime Mystery eighty years ago in 1933, and lead directly to Page
writing The Spider series. It’s not only the first true Weird Menace story,
but it’s also among the longest and most horrific ever penned! This truly
frightening tale plunges an intrepid police investigator into the gripping
mystery of the men who become skeletonized by a hideous, unseen predator.
Then go behind the vampire-haunted scenes of a 1936 stage performance of Dracula
in Frederick C. Davis’ eerie “When the Bat Man Thirsts.” Finally, we conclude
with Paul Ernst’s haunting “Brides of the Dust Demon,” wherein a strange
doom stalks the besieged inhabitants of a dying Dust Bowl town.
These stories were chosen to showcase the many darkling facets of the Weird
Menace experience. All three novelettes are read by Michael C. Gwynne. He
is still recovering from the experience…. 7 hours $27.98 Audio CDs / $13.99

The Spider #80: The Spider and the
War Emperor
Nita van Sloan offered her young life to The Man from Hell, so that
one individual — Richard Wentworth — might don the Spider’s grim habiliments
and risk his own life in glorious battle against Secundus, the reincarnation
of Satan — Prince of Inquisitors, who led his sightless, blood-lusting hordes
against the city! Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have

G-8 and His Battle Aces #7: Squadron
of Corpses
“Ghosts! Ha-ha-ha-ha — there ain’t no such thing!” From the wreck
of a crashed D.H. came those strange words — words spoken with mad laughter

with fright? Had a “ghost” wiped out the rest of his patrol? Grimly G-8 and
his buddies seek the answer down a haunted cloud trail. G-8 and his Battle
Aces rode the nostalgia boom ten years after World War I ended. These high-flying
exploits were tall tales of a World War that might have been, featuring monster
bats, German zombies, wolf-men, harpies, Martians, and even tentacled floating
monsters. Most of these monstrosities were the work of Germany’s seemingly
endless supply of mad scientists, chief of whom was G-8’s recurring Nemesis,
Herr Doktor Krueger. G-8 battled Germany’s Halloween shock troops for over
a decade, not ceasing until the magazine folded in the middle of World War
II. G-8 and his Battle Aces return in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s
readers in electronic format. $2.99.
G-8 and His Battle Aces #8: The
Invisible Staffel
The skies are red with the blood of men who have a right to live,
and G-8 flies to his last appointment with Death! This is the will of the
Serpent, and there is hell and misery locked in the magic of his eyes. You’ll
know about this when you’ve felt the bloody Fangs of the Serpent! G-8 and
his Battle Aces rode the nostalgia boom ten years after World War I ended.

THE SECRET HISTORY OF MARVEL COMICS - Now available!
The story of Martin Goodman's Red Circle pulps
Marvel Comics is home to such legendary super-heroes as Spider-Man,
Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man, all of whom have spun box office
gold in the 21st century. But Marvel Comics has a secret history hidden in
the shadows of these well-known franchises.
The Secret History of Marvel Comics digs back to the 1930s when Marvel
Comics wasn't just a comic-book producing company. Marvel Comics owner Martin
Goodman had tentacles into a publishing world that might have made that
era’s conservative American parents lynch him on his front porch. Marvel
was but a small part of Goodman’s publishing empire, which had begun years
before he published his first comic book. Goodman mostly published lurid
and sensationalistic story books (known as “pulps”) and magazines, featuring
sexually-charged detective and romance short fiction, and celebrity gossip
scandal sheets. And artists like Jack Kirby, who was producing Captain America
for eight-year-olds, were simultaneously dipping their toes in both ponds.
The Secret History of Marvel Comics tells this parallel story of 1930s/40s
Marvel Comics sharing offices with those Goodman publications not quite fit
for children. The book also features a comprehensive display of the artwork
produced for Goodman’s other enterprises by Marvel Comics artists such as
Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, Alex Schomburg, Bill Everett, Al Jaffee, and Dan
DeCarlo, plus the very best pulp artists in the field, including Norman Saunders,
John Walter Scott, Hans Wesso, L.F. Bjorklund, and Marvel Comics #1 cover
artist Frank R. Paul. Goodman’s magazines also featured cover stories on
celebrities such as Jackie Gleason, Elizabeth Taylor, Liberace, and Sophia
Loren, as well as contributions from famous literary and social figures such
as Isaac Asimov, Theodore Sturgeon, and L. Ron Hubbard.
These rare pieces of comic art, pulp and magazine history will open the
door to Marvel Comics’ unseen history.

ZORRO RIDES AGAIN VOLUME 2: THE WRATH OF LADY ZORRO
TP - Coming in January!
(Writer/Cover) Matt Wagner; (Art) John K. Snyder III
"Justice, justice for all!" With this rallying cry, the daring adventurer
Zorro fights to unseat the brutal Spanish regime that holds authority over
Alta California. Striking by night astride his magnificent stallion, Diego
de la Vega keeps his identity secret, acting alone to protect those he loves.
But he is no longer the only masked figure stalking the corrupt, as the
mysterious Lady Zorro takes up a sword of her own. Driven by revenge for
her murdered family, she strikes down her enemies indiscriminately, offering
them no mercy. Although Zorro serves as her inspiration, he cannot condone
her actions. Are they destined to face one another as enemies? Or will the
distraction of their moral conflict make them easy prey for the bloody killer,
El Galgo?
