The Wold Newton Family is a group of heroic and villainous literary figures that science fiction author Philip José Farmer postulated belonged to the same genetic family. Some of these characters are adventurers, some are detectives, some explorers and scientists, some espionage agents, and some are evil geniuses. According to Farmer, the Wold Newton Family originated when a radioactive meteor landed in Wold Newton, England, a village in the Yorkshire Wolds, on Dec. 13, 1795. The meteor landing is a real historical event. The meteor’s ionized radiation caused a genetic mutation in those present, which endowed many of their descendants with extremely high intelligence and strength, as well as an exceptional capacity and drive to perform good, or, as the case may be, evil deeds. Additionally, some of the ancestors of those present at the 1795 meteor strike were extraordinary individuals, and so their genetic stock was excellent to begin with. Popular characters who Philip José Farmer concluded were members of the Wold Newton Family (both pre– and post–meteor strike) include: Solomon Kane; Captain Blood; The Scarlet Pimpernel; Harry Flashman; C. Auguste Dupin; Sherlock Holmes and his nemesis Professor Moriarty (aka Captain Nemo); Phileas Fogg; The Time Traveler; Allan Quatermain; Tarzan and his son Korak; A.J. Raffles; Arsène Lupin; Professor Challenger; Richard Hannay; Bulldog Drummond; the evil Doctor Fu Manchu and his adversary, Sir Denis Nayland Smith; G–8; Lord Peter Wimsey; The Shadow; Sam Spade; Doc Savage, his cousin Pat Savage, and one of his five assistants, Monk Mayfair; The Spider; Nero Wolfe; Mr. Moto; The Avenger; Philip Marlowe; James Bond; Lew Archer; and Travis McGee. The roots of some of Farmer’s ideas can be traced to Professor H.W. Starr’s articles “A Submersible Subterfuge, or Proof Impositive” (included as an addendum to Farmer’s The Other Log of Phileas Fogg ) and “A Case of Identity, or, The Adventure of the Seven Claytons” (included as an addendum to Farmer’s Tarzan Alive ). It should also be noted that, although Farmer incorporated the theory that Sherlock Holmes and Nero Wolfe are father and son into his Wold Newton mythology, he was not the first to advance this hypothesis. For a more expansive treatment of Holmes and Wolfe, the reader is referred to William S. Baring–Gould’s Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street and Nero Wolfe of West Thirty–Fifth Street .

  • 2019-07-08 Catalog P
    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for July and August 2019 Given that I’m writing these words in early September, I’m way behind on my bookselling chores. As I’ve relayed via email, between PulpFest 2019 and helping my wife with her mother — now in hospice care — this summer has been extremely busy. PulpFest is over for another year — actually eleven months, given the timing of this catalog. The convention’s organizing committee is already working on next year’s gathering. It will take place August 6 - 9 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh — Cranberry, located in Mars, Pennsylvania. PulpFest 2020 will focus on Bradbury, BLACK MASK, and Brundage. We may even throw in a touch of Brackett and Burroughs for good measure. In October, we’ll be announcing our very special guest of honor. Over the Labor Day weekend, Dianne and I drove to the Burlington area of Vermont to acquire a substantial collection of pulps, digests, vintage paperbacks, first edition hardcovers, underground comics, fanzines, and more. The primary focus of the magazine collection is the science fiction genre. There are also miscellaneous periodicals from the adventure, detective, hero, spicy, and war genres. The collection contains magazines in both the pulp and digest formats. The vintage paperbacks run the gamut of genres that are popular in that area of book collecting. PulpFest will begin selling the collection via auction during our 2020 convention. Given its size, it will take a number of years to disperse the entire collection. Now begins the difficult and time-consuming work of organizing, cataloging, lotting, and photographing the collection.

  • Jean-Marc Lofficier: J.C
    The ultimate goal of any story published in Tales of the Shadowmen is to, not change, but deepen the appreciation the reader has for the characters being pastiched. For example, one can hardly imagine the Nyctalope without taking for granted the new elements added to his biography by Roman Leary or Emmanuel Gorlier; the same could be said of Fantômas, Arsène Lupin, Doc Savage/Ardan, Doctor Who/Omega, or even The Little Prince, whose “more real than real” exploits have been chronicled in our pages. In a similar fashion, one hope that, after reading the following story, the reader will never look at the classic French New Wave films of the 1960s Alphaville and Last Year in Marienbad in quite the same way... Jean-Marc Lofficier: J.C. in Alphaville Jerry: “I promised them nothing less than the Millennium.” Beesley: “I’m afraid we’ll have to put back the Millennium for a while.” Michael Moorcock. A Cure for Cancer. Berlin, 1944: The Men Who Would Be Gods They were four. Four brilliant men. Four evil men. They already had more wealth and power than most men on Earth, but they wanted more. They wanted their own world to shape and rule to their heart’s desire. They wanted to be gods. They secretly shepherded Adolf Hitler’s meteoritic rise to power, because they recognized in him a bit of themselves, and they thought he might make it possible for them to achieve their dreams. They were wrong Misshapen Rotwang was the architect whose visionary madness inspired Albert Speer and Leni Riefenstahl; he was the necromancer who had sent Heinrich Himmler’s Ahnenerbe looking for the Spear of Destiny and the Holy Grail in Montserrat and Rennes-le-Château.

  • New Pulp-Related Books and Periodicals Available from Michael Chomko for November & December 2008
    New pulp-related books and periodicals available from Michael Chomko for November & December 2008 During the second week of October, my wife and I spent a wonderful week in New York’s Adirondack Mountains. Dianne and I have been visiting this beautiful area for most of the thirty years we have been married. It’s a mixture of glacial lakes and rugged mountains, largely unspoiled by strip malls and the like. Our week was quiet, interesting, and to top things off, the weather was pretty darn good. Not bad for the middle of October. I’m sorry that this catalog is a little slow in coming. However, as I mentioned in my email, I’ve been extremely busy working with Jack Cullers, Ed Hulse, Chris Kalb and Barry Traylor, organizing and publicizing what we are calling PulpFest 2009. Billed as “The Summer’s Leading Pulp Convention,” PulpFest 2009 is a new and improved version of the venerable convention catering to fans and collectors of vintage popular fiction. It will be held from Friday, July 31 st , through Sunday, August 2 nd , at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. For further information, please visit our website at www.pulpfest.com. There you can download some of the publicity flyers that we have created for our convention and learn how to be added to our mailing list. Please try to support this new and exciting convention in any way that you can. Thanks. Our dining room is now filled with books. As soon as I’m done with this catalog, I’m going to start shipping the backlog of stock that arrived while I was on vacation and busy with PulpFest activities.

  • Crossovers Volume Two: 1940-The Future
    Crossovers Volume Two: 1940-The Future 1940 January. Denny Colt’s first case, The Origin of The Spirit, as told by Will Eisner, in which criminologist Colt, presumed dead, defeats Dr. Cobra and sets up his headquarters in Wildwood Cemetery, just north of Central City. January CAPTAIN GRAVITY: ONE TRUE HERO Captain Gravity’s rival, Captain Marvelous, makes the headlines in the Daily Star newspaper. Marvelous is eventually revealed as a Nazi dupe, but redeems himself in the end. One-shot issue of Captain Gravity by Stephen Vrattos and Keith Martin, Penny-Farthing Press, 1999. The reference to Clark Kent’s newspaper links the African-American pulp-like hero, Captain Gravity, to the CU. CAPTAIN GRAVITY AND THE POWER OF THE VRIL Joshua Jones’ (aka Captain Gravity) friend Chase DuBois is working for American and British agents who are interested in preventing Hitler from acquiring items of occult significance. One of the British agents is Ian Fleming. The vril power also figures in the Nazi plot. Miniseries by Joshua Dysart, Sal Velluto, Bob Almond, and Mike Garcia, Penny-Farthing Press, 2004-2005. The prologue takes place in December 1939, before the events of Captain Gravity: One True Hero. After World War II, Fleming became the biographer of his friend, British agent James Bond. The vril is from The Coming Race by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, providing a more solid link for Captain Gravity in the CU. The reference to January 1941 in the second issue must be an error, as the first issue establishes January 1940 as the date. Winter. First recorded exploit of adventurer Jim Anthony.

Pour contacter l'auteur : [email protected] 1 Introduction Le but de cet épisode est de montrer que l'univers de Tarzan et Fu Manchu, à savoir le Wold Newton Universe1 est le même que celui décrit par Howard Phillips Lovecraft dans ses nombreux ouvrages. Cette affirmation n'est ni nouvelle ni choquante pour les lecteurs de Philip José Farmer. Philip José Farmer, dès 1972 dans Tarzan vous salue bien, prouva de manière définitive que Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes et Doc Savage appartiennent au même univers. Mais il prétendit alors que Fu Manchu était un personnage totalement imaginaire (c'est à dire qu'il n'existe pas dans le WNU). Un an plus tard, il publie une seconde biographie : Doc Savage, his apocalyptic life dans laquelle : 1. il reconnaît s'être trompé sur l'existence réelle de Fu Manchu et donc de celle de son adversaire acharné Sir Nayland Smith ; 2.

  • New Pulp-Related Books and Periodicals Available from Michael Chomko for February 2006
    New pulp-related books and periodicals available from Michael Chomko for February 2006 On January 13 of this year, I finished my internship in the Operating Room at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I am now employed at one of Lehigh Valley’s hospital sites where many of their same-day surgical procedures are performed. I work four ten-hour shifts each week between Mondays and Fridays. I have weekends and holidays off. Occasionally, I’ll have to work an evening shift. With that kind of schedule, I tell people its “nursing nirvana.” It’s tough to find a job in health care with such a schedule. I count myself quite fortunate. Given my work schedule, I can only get to the post office on my one day off during the week or on Saturdays. I work until 5:30 PM—the same time the post office closes. I don’t think the way I’ve been shipping books will change very much. It may mean a day or two longer wait every now and then. Other than that things should very much continue as they have in the past. A few people have wondered if the end of my formal nursing education days will bring back my pulp history magazine, PURPLE PROSE. Right now, I can only say, “I certainly hope so.” However, I have to see how my schedule sorts out over the next few months. If I do revive PP, it will be on an infrequent basis. When I was publishing it on a semi-regular schedule, I was either working at home as “Mr.

    ew pulp-related books and periodicals available from Michael Chomko for February-March 2012 For a good portion of January, I was updating the PulpFest website. I’m happy to report that the site is now up to date and the convention is accepting registrations for the 2012 convention. Please visit http://www.pulpfest.com/ and check it out. You can stay informed about the convention by subscribing to our email newsletter. Look for the “email list” box on the website. I shipped a good number of books in late January and early February. So you may very well have received something from me. Included in the shipments were several different titles from Battered Silicon’s Lost Treasures of the Pulps series. I have one extra copy of one of these titles, The Compleat Adventures of Satan Hall . If you ordered one of these from me, but have not received it, please drop me a line. I mistakenly wrote down the wrong customer’s name when I recorded this order and cannot find who the book was actually meant for. There was an unexpected death in the month of January. Author and pulp fan Howard Hopkins who, many years ago, published the Golden Perils fanzine, passed away at the age of fifty. PulpFest will be holding a tribute to Howard and David Burton (whose death I announced last month) on Saturday afternoon, August 11th Customer Scott Urban has had another story published by SM Horror Magazine , an online periodical.

  • New Pulp-Related Books and Periodicals Available from Michael Chomko for December 2006
    New pulp-related books and periodicals available from Michael Chomko for December 2006 I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. My wife and I got to celebrate two Thanksgivings this year. Our first was during our trip to Nova Scotia. Canada’s Thanksgiving Day has been the second Monday of October since the early thirties. Then, in late November, we celebrated Thanksgiving with our extended family here in the United States. We also celebrated our son Peter’s twentieth birthday at that time. I want to take the opportunity to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. Also, I’d like to thank everyone who ordered something from me for your continuing support. You’ve kept me very busy this year—my most successful year as a bookseller. Let’s do it again next year. Pulp Adventurecon #6 was held in early November. Although attendance was down from last year’s convention, it was still a successful show and a lot of fun. It was wonderful to see a lot of old friends who attended the gathering. Unfortunately, Bold Venture’s Spider #9 was not available at the show. I’ve heard conflicting reports about when we will see it. Let’s hope it will be fairly soon.
