Updated: Collectibles Section
I’ve just updated the Collectibles section, removing many recently sold items and adding 20 new lots with a total of 50 pieces. You’ll find newly listed pulps, pulp reprints, fanzines, reference books, and collections of vintage newspaper comic strips. As usual, there are great bargains here; some of the multi-volume comic-strip collections are available for […]
READ MORE >>BNT Subscription Drive for May
As these words are being written, copies of the new Blood ‘n’ Thunder have been sent to all current subscribers. There are quite a few renewals outstanding, which is hardly surprising. Since it had been nine months between issues prior to the release last month of the 2014-15 Special Edition (comprising numbers 42, 43 and […]
READ MORE >>Birthday Boy: Talbot Mundy
One hundred years ago or thereabouts, Talbot Mundy was one of pulpdom’s superstars, his works appearing regularly in Adventure, the classiest rough-paper sheet of the era. His 1912 short story for that periodical, “The Soul of a Regiment,” was so popular that it was reprinted seven times in subsequent issues. Mundy’s 1916 novel King—of the […]
READ MORE >>Convention Report: Windy City 2015
This past weekend found me in Lombard, Illinois (a Chicago suburb) for the 15th annual Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention, a wildly successful event that drew approximately 500 fans and collectors of vintage books, pulp magazines, original art, and related memorabilia. “The Windy,” as it’s been named by regular attendees, has become a mecca […]
READ MORE >>A Lost Serial Found (And Screened): Pearl White’s THE HOUSE OF HATE
As an historian and archivist, I’m excited by few things as much as the discovery, restoration, and revival of a movie serial long thought lost. In 50 years of actively researching and championing the preservation of chapter plays I’ve been privileged to be part of several such recovery efforts. So it was with particular enthusiasm […]
READ MORE >>Now Available: THE ISLAND
The December 20, 1921 issue of Adventure magazine carried a complete novel by J. Allan Dunn titled Barehanded Castaways. Unlike most yarns published in “the Dean of the Pulps,” Castaways did not come in over the transom, so to speak, but was solicited by editor Arthur Sullivant Hoffman, who had brainstormed the concept with his […]
READ MORE >>Collectibles Sale Ends Soon!
Just a reminder that our two-week sale on Collectibles ends at midnight this coming Tuesday, March 31st. Until then you can get anything in the section at 20 percent off the original listed price. A number of desirable items have sold since the sale began on March 17th, but I’ve just added a half-dozen more, including a […]
READ MORE >>Collectibles: Spring Cleaning Sale
Today is the first day of Spring — although you’d never know it here in northern New Jersey, where we’re expecting three to five inches of snow—so it’s time for our Spring Cleaning Sale. Accordingly, prices on most items in our Collectibles for Sale section have been reduced by 20 to 25 percent, effective until […]
READ MORE >>Silent Serials Book Set: Just Two Left!
Last week, as the result of an overstock situation, I offered two-volume sets of Murania Press books dealing with silent-era movie serials: Distressed Damsels and Masked Marauders, a history of the form, and The Perils of Pauline: Centennial Edition, our reprinting of the 1914 novelization of the classic chapter play that made Pearl White an […]
