    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 Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

  • By Lee A. Breakiron ONE-SHOT WONDERS
    REHeapa Autumnal Equinox 2015 By Lee A. Breakiron ONE-SHOT WONDERS By definition, fanzines are nonprofessional publications produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, such as a literary or musical genre, for the pleasure of others who share their interests. Readers themselves often contribute to fanzines by submitting their own articles, reviews, letters of comment, and fan fiction. Though the term fanzine only dates from 1940 when it was popularized within science fiction and comic book fandom, the first fanzines actually date back to at least the nineteenth century when, as a uniquely American development, literary groups formed amateur press associations or APAs in order to publish collections of poetry, fiction, and commentary. Few, if any, writers have had as many fanzines, chapbooks, and other ephemera dedicated to them as has Robert E. Howard. Howard himself self-published his own typed “zine,” The Golden Caliph of four loose pages in about August, 1923 [1], as well as three issues of one entitled The Right Hook in 1925 (discussed later). Howard collaborated with his friends Tevis Clyde “Clyde” Smith, Jr., and Truett Vinson in their own zines, The All-Around Magazine and The Toreador respectively, in 1923 and 1925. (A copy of The All-Around Magazine sold for $911 in 2005.) Howard also participated in an amateur essay, commentary, and poetry journal called The Junto that ran from 1928 to 1930, contributing 10 stories and 13 poems to 10 of the issues that survive. Only one copy of this monthly “travelogue” was circulated among all the members of the group.

  • Doctoral Thesis History in Robert E. Howard's Fantastic Stories: from An
    Doctoral Thesis History in Robert E. Howard’s Fantastic Stories: From an Age Undreamed of to the Era of the Old West and Texas Frontier Dierk Clemens Günther April 2019 Acknowledgements For all the generous help, advice, and support received, I would like to thank the following: Prof. Dr. Shinsuke Ohchi (University of Hiroshima) and Prof. Dr. Reiko Nitta for their all their support, their valuable advice given for this thesis, and their endless patience to bring out the best in me. Lee Breakiron has been of an immense help for having been so gracious to open his archive for me and to provide me with many articles and papers that are not publicly available anymore. Words cannot express my gratitude for this generous support. Also, for always being there, answering many of my question, thanks go out to Bobby Derie, Patrice Louinet and Jeffrey Shanks. I also want to thank the members of Project Pride of Cross Plains, Texas, the staff of the Robert E. Howard Museum, Cross Plains, Texas, and the Public Library, Cross Plains, Texas for all their help in my research for this thesis. Cross Plains is a community of wonderful and kind people, all of whom deserve my thanks but too many to name them here. Nonetheless I would like to give very special thanks for all their help with my research and their friendship to Arlene and Tom Stephenson, Cross Plains, and Ann and Kennith Beeler, Cross Plains. Finally, immense gratitude goes to all my aunts, Claudia Bollacher, Luitgard Reiter, and Barbara Ecker, who always believed in me and without whom I would not be who I am today.

  • 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.

  • Science Fiction and Fantasy Published by Ace Books
    SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY PUBLISHED BY ACE BOOKS (1953-1968) Compiled by: DICK SPELMAN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY PUBLISHED BY ACE BOOKS (1953-1968) Compiled by: DICK SPELMAN Published by: INSTITUTE FOR SPECIALIZED LITERATURE Post Office Box 4201 North Hollywood, California 91607 Copywrite - 1976 FORWARD The following listing of the alpha-numeric ACE BOOKS has been compiled in three parts: Part 1 - Listing by Publisher’s Number Part 2 - Listing by Author Part 3 - Listing by Title The data contained in the listing has been checked carefully against the actual books and has been proofread three time; I am certain that there are still some typing errors, however. I believe that the listing is complete and I can authenticate every entry from my own collection. There may be arguments, however, concerning some of the titles that I chose to include or exclude. Considering the importance of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Andre Norton to ACE BOOKS, I have included all of their titles, regardless of the science fictional content. On the other hand, I have excluded most of the STAR ("K") series, Asimov’s Is Anyone There? (N-4) and Lupoff’s biography of Edgar Rice Burroughs (N-6) on the basis that they are not science fiction. The system that I have used for alphabetizing is based on the first signif­ icant word, and any punctuation is disregarded. Therefore, "Moondust" (one word) is shown later in the listing than "Moon Maid" (two words), and "Game-Player" is considered a single word. I have been assisted greatly in making this listing by Don Kramer and Marty Massoglia, both members of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society.

Predictable fun a'la ERB by a fellow practicioner of the planetary romance.By Charles A. MadisonThis novel is one of the five planetary romances written by Kline in the 1930s. Kline is probably more famous for these five than for any other twenty or so works that I'm aware of. His other works are have been out of print for the most part since their first publication. The five planetary romances have been available continuously since the early 60s when Avalon Books printed four of them They all use the tropes established by Edgar Rice Burroughs in his Martian Series and clearly were strongly imitative of Burroughs' work. Two of the five take place on Mars and they are my personal favorites; the other three take place on Venus and there are many fans of both Burroughs and Kline that favor Kline's Venus series over Burroughs'.

  • THE RISE of the NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART ONE by Lee A
    REHeapa Vernal Equinox 2017 THE RISE OF THE NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART ONE By Lee A. Breakiron The word amateur has come by the thousand oddities of language to convey an idea of tepidity; whereas the word itself has the meaning of passion. Nor is this peculiarity confined to the mere form of the word; the actual characteristic of these nameless dilettanti is a genuine fire and reality. A man must love a thing very much if he practices it without any hope of fame or money, but even practice it without any hope of doing it well. Such a man must love the toils of the work more than any other man can love the rewards of it. ‒ G. K. Chesterton What has come to be called the amateur press consists of countless groups of independent, nonprofessional writers worldwide who share an interest in journalistic activity, many on a particular topic, which might be artistic, literary, political, or scientific in nature. Though the term “fanzine” only dates from 1940, amateur journalism actually dates back to the early 19th century with the invention of relatively inexpensive tabletop printing presses, often used by students to distribute amateur fiction, poetry, and commentary. As a uniquely American development, literary and other groups formed amateur press associations or apas, in which individual members create their own material and distribute it to their fellow members. Some published their own papers, then began exchanging them with others, and finally organized into regional and then national groups. The first latter group was the National Amateur Press Association (NAPA), founded on 19 February 1876 by Evan Reed Riale and nine others in Philadelphia.

    All Scientific Stuff: Science, Expertise, and Everyday Reality in 1926 by Brian S. Matzke A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Professor Eric S. Rabkin, Chair Professor John S. Carson Professor June M. Howard Professor Alan M. Wald Copyright © Brian S. Matzke 2013 Dedication To my parents, Charles Matzke and Janice Beecher, who taught me to read, to write, to think, and to question. ii Acknowledgements Many scholars have mentored and advised me over the years, and I am grateful to all of them for the insights that they have provided and the knowledge that they have imparted. This project began as a paper in John Whittier-Ferguson’s graduate seminar on modernism, and from that beginning, numerous professors’ influences have shaped this book. I would like to thank George Bornstein, John Carson, Gregg Crane, Paul Edwards, Gabrielle Hecht, June Howard, Steve Jackson, Howard Markel, Susan Parrish, Eric Rabkin, Paddy Scannell, Derek Vaillant, Alan Wald, and Patricia Yaeger. In addition to the faculty at the University of Michigan, I received tremendous insights and support from my colleagues both at Michigan and other institutions. Their comments on drafts and their recommendations at every stage of the writing process were invaluable to me. I am grateful to Alex Beringer, Geremy Carnes, MicKenzie Fasteland, Molly Hatcher, Korey Jackson, Chung-Hao Ku, Konstantina Karageorgos, Corinne Martin, Karen McConnell, Nathaniel Mills, Daniel Mintz, and Michael Tondre. Some ideas from the chapter on Amazing Stories have their basis in my work with the Genre Evolution Project, and I am thankful to the members of the project for their inspiration, in particular, Eric Rabkin, Carl Simon, Rebecca Adams, Zach Wright, Meg Hixon, and Dayna Smith.
