Ew Pulp-Related Books and Periodicals Available from Michael Chomko for February-March 2012 for a Good Portion of January, I 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. You can read “Biting the Hand” by visiting http://www.snmhorrormag.com/snmfebmarissue1.htm . My son, Peter, has had an article concerning Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe novels accepted for publication in the journal Clues , published twice a year by McFarland. It will be appearing in fall 2013. Needless to say, I’m very proud of him. Hippocampus Press won the Horror Writers Association’s Specialty Press Award for 2011. John Gunnison’s Adventure House will be selling Frank Robinson’s magnificent pulp collection over the next few months. This is probably one of the finest collections ever assembled. Please visit for http://adventurehouse.com/ for further details. For current pulp-related news and events, you can turn to Bill Thom’s award-winning Coming Attractions website at http://www.pulpcomingattractions.com/index.html as well as Bill Lampkin’s The Pulp.et at http://www.thepulp.net/ .

  • 2019-05-06 Catalog P
    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.

    The Empowering Squirrel Girl Jayme Horne Submitted for History of Art 390 Feminism and History of Art Professor Ellen Shortell Massachusetts College of Art and Design All the strength of a squirrel multiplied to the size of a girl? That must be the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (fig. 1)! This paper will explore Marvel’s Squirrel Girl character, from her introduction as a joke character to her 2015 The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl ​ comic series which is being harold as being extremely empowering. This paper aims to understand why a hero like Squirrel Girl would be harold and celebrated by fans, while other female heroes with feminist qualities like Captain Marvel or the New Almighty Thor might be receiving not as much praise. Squirrel Girl was created by Will Murray and artist Steve Ditko. Despite both of them having both worked for Marvel and DC, and having written stories about fan favorites like Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and others, they are most known for creating Squirrel Girl, also known as Doreen Green. Her powers include superhuman strength, a furry, prehensile tail (roughly 3-4 feet long), squirrel-like buck teeth, squirrel-like retractable knuckle claws, as well as being able to communicate with squirrels and summon a squirrel army. She was first introduced in 1991, where she ambushed Iron Man in attempt to impress him and convince him to make her an Avenger. That’s when they were attacked one of Marvel’s most infamous and deadly villains, Doctor Doom. After Doctor Doom has defeated Iron Man, Squirrel Girl jumps in with her squirrel army and saves Iron Man1 (fig.
