CLASSIC ERA OF AMERICAN PULP MAGAZINES
Haining, Peter
2000 19892 The pulp magazine grew out of the 19th century dime novel and was soon overtaken by comics and the arrival of the paperback book For a brief time between the 20s and 40s, the PULPS ruled supreme. Their lurid color covers depicting thrilling sex and violence (with stories to match inside) fueled the dreams and nightmares of a generation. For a few cents they offered everything young, red-blooded Americans wanted: sesx, action and adventure. From the cheap thrills of the 'hot' and 'spicy' pulps and the sexual sadism of the shudder pulps, to the weird worlds of the fantasy, sci-fi and horror pulps, the author takes us on a tour of their publishning history (and in particular their ARTISTRY) to impart a true senese of the original magazines in all their sleazy sensational glory in 224 pages - all in full color. Published at sixty dollars. 1853753882 / 9781853753886
