Thomas Jefferson "Cash" Gounan managed it, moving through six 1940-41 novels armed only with a silver-doll ar pocket piece and his’wits. That was plenty. Goxman's mind, astute, subtle, sharply informed, was the equal of a dozen blazing .45's. His magazine, The Wizard, was sub-titled Adventures in Finance. It was. Written by Phil R. Sheridan, a probable pseudo.r^rm, the stories are literate, taut, with action at both physical and mental levels. They feature corporate intrigue set against a realistic back­ drop of state and local politics, union interactions, syndicated crime and high flying financial machinations. Cash Gorman, an adventurer-financder, invests in shaky businesses to build them up and take a profit. Sounds simple. But he must proceed in the face of clever and ruthless opposition. He i s always under attack. His problems are major, complex and in the real world. He handles then through a series of brilliant and informed manoeuvers. Characterisation fades before the fancy footwork. Goman is well drawn, if shallowly. Other characters are.pencilled in as collections of peculiar traits. Essentially, the story is how Gorman out-brill ianted the oppo sition,' and this is done well. The First issue of THE WIZARD, October 1940, was Gild The Sword ’%ith Gol d. We meet Gorman and he meets Jimmy Ranger, his aide through the series. We are also introduced to Phineas Gardiner, a bulging red-faced caricature of a capital­ ist. His wealth, tapped by Gorman through various deals, provides the operating fluid for most of the stories. In Sword the subject is an involved swindle with worthless helium land as bait. The swindlers are had in virtually the last paragraph of the novel by some highly tricky sleight of hand Gormanry. Mill io n Doll ar Mutual, December 1940, demonstrates how to save a failing race track against intolerable pressures. The mano eu vexing, possibly the most complex, ever put into a pulp magazine, is packed with multiple interactions between politics, law, finance and business — all based in the real world- This is the most .successful of the Wizard novels. Liquid Gold, February 1941, plunges Gorman into labour trouble in the dairy business. Murder in Gold, April 1941, is set in Hollywood. The accounts have been tapped at the studio. The swindlers are very murderous. Gorman is very very slick. With the June 1941 issue, Sabotage( advertised in April as Saboteurs in High Gear) the magazine is retitled CASH GORMAN.. In this novel German takes over an axle-manuf acturing pl ant which Nazi agents and a local traitor are reducing to rubble. Murder in Santa Paula, August 1941, sets Gorman against an entrenched political boss, a massive real estate swindle, an old murder frame, and an ex­ ploding dam. On that high note the series ends, a victim of so-so sales and the wartime paper shortage. Too bad. It was a noble experiment. Whilst the last three novels tend as much to violent adventure as to footwork through the com­ plications of corporate finance all the novels are worth reading. The first two issues are of particular interest and deserve room on any collector's shelf. -----Robert Sampson SFANCON III 23RD APRIL 1972 It is appreciated of course that it is a little difficult for UK fans to trip out to Antwerp at the drop of a hat for a one-day convention.

    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for May and June 2019 Dianne and I had a wonderful time in Chicago, attending the Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention in April. It’s a fine show that you should try to attend. Upcoming conventions include Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains, Texas on June 7 – 8, and the Edgar Rice Burroughs Chain of Friendship, planned for the weekend of June 13 – 15. It will take place in Oakbrook, Illinois. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be a spring edition of Ray Walsh’s Classicon. Currently, William Patrick Maynard and I are writing about the programming that will be featured at PulpFest 2019. We’ll be posting about the panels and presentations through June 10. On June 17, we’ll write about this year’s author signings, something new we’re planning for the convention. Check things out at www.pulpfest.com. Laurie Powers biography of LOVE STORY MAGAZINE editor Daisy Bacon is currently scheduled for release around the end of 2019. I will be carrying this book. It’s entitled QUEEN OF THE PULPS. Please reserve your copy today. Recently, I was contacted about carrying the Armchair Fiction line of books. I’ve contacted the publisher and will certainly be able to stock their books. Founded in 2011, they are dedicated to the restoration of classic genre fiction. Their forté is early science fiction, but they also publish mystery, horror, and westerns. They have a strong line of lost race novels. Their books are illustrated with art from the pulps and such.

Through a succession of commercially successful film series as well as a massive presence in comics, novels and magazines as well as on TV, Tarzan had become one of the most popular characters in the world. But that popularity and success came with a price. The films were the main culprit. Wildly successful with plots and action that transcended the need for accurate translation, they had essentially ignored the nobility, complexity, and humanity of Tarzan as a character. A lifelong fan of Mr. He brought Tarzan right back to his beginning, filling the stories with details straight from the world of Mr. He built on that strong mythology and by staying true to it, gave the Tarzan strip new life. To read these strips today is to be reminded of the best that an action strip can be. This is comic art at its finest. A stunning artist with a deep respect for the newspaper strip work of those who preceded him such as Hal Foster and Burne HogarthMr. Manning was rebooting a franchise before Hollywood had any idea what that concept meant.

James Bondright? When it first premiered inBatman was the most faithful adaptation of a bona fide comic book superhero ever seen on the screen. It was a nearly perfect blend of the Saturday matinee movie serials where most comic book characters had their first Hollywood break and the comics of its time. But the TV series, particularly during its genesis, was both a product of its own time, and that of an earlier era. Both Flash Gordon and Dick Tracy had made the leap to the big screen before Superman had even hit newsstands, and both saw their serial adventures get two sequels. While Flash Gordonparticularly the first one, was a faithful within the limitations of its budget translation of the Alex Raymond comic strips, Dick Tracy was less so. Years before Richard Donner and Christopher Reevethis one made audiences believe a man could fly, and featured a perfectly cast Tom Tyler in the title role, but was still rather beholden to serial storytelling conventions and the aforementioned budgetary limitations.

  • Forbidden Planet” (1956): Origins in Pulp Science Fiction
    “Forbidden Planet” (1956): Origins in Pulp Science Fiction By Dr. John L. Flynn While most critics tend to regard “Forbidden Planet” (1956) as a futuristic retelling of William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”—with Morbius as Prospero, Robby the Robot as Arial, and the Id monster as the evil Caliban—this very conventional approach overlooks the most obvious. “Forbidden Planet” was, in fact, pulp science fiction, a conglomeration of every cliché and melodramatic element from the pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s. With its mysterious setting on an alien world, its stalwart captain and blaster-toting crew, its mad scientist and his naïve yet beautiful daughter, its indispensable robot, and its invisible monster, the movie relied on a proven formula. But even though director Fred Wilcox and scenarist Cyril Hume created it on a production line to compete with the other films of its day, “Forbidden Planet” managed to transcend its pulp origins to become something truly memorable. Today, it is regarded as one of the best films of the Fifties, and is a wonderful counterpoint to Robert Wise’s “The Day the Earth Stood Still”(1951). The Golden Age of Science Fiction is generally recognized as a twenty-year period between 1926 and 1946 when a handful of writers, including Clifford Simak, Jack Williamson, Isaac Asimov, John W.
