Additions to Collectibles Page
Today I’m adding another dozen or so items to the Collectibles for Sale page. The better items include high-grape copies of the December 1937 issue of Doc Savage (with the sequel to his very first adventure) and Lost Worlds, the scarce 1944 Arkham House collection of Clark Ashton Smith yarns originally published in Weird Tales […]
READ MORE >>THE BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER SAMPLER: Now Available!
The majority of people who visit this site are already familiar with Blood ‘n’ Thunder, the flagship publication of Murania Press. A good many are subscribers; some have been supporting the magazine since it was launched in 2002. But my little corner of cyberspace also receives a fair number of visitors who, while having a […]
READ MORE >>Windy City 2015: 100 Days to Go!
The countdown begins! As I write these words it’s exactly 100 days to the beginning of this year’s Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention. “The Windy,” as it’s popularly known, has become a mecca for fans and collectors of vintage pulp fiction and related material. Now in its 15th year, the confab gets underway on […]
READ MORE >>Happy Birthday, Spencer Bennet!
Who, you ask, was the King of the Motion-Picture Serial? Well, most aficionados would bestow the title on Buster Crabbe. Others would nominate Kane Richmond. A fair number might say the distinction belongs to Tom Tyler, or Ralph Byrd, or maybe even Kirk Alyn. Fifty years ago, old-time fans would have nominated Eddie Polo, William […]
READ MORE >>For One Week Only: Overstock Sale — Half Off Selected Items
Currently I have excess copies of some Murania Press books filling storage-unit shelves I’d like to reclaim for newer inventory. So, for the next week only, I’m making them available at half price, domestic shipping included. There have been Murania Press sales before, but never with such a steep discount. From today, January 2, through […]
READ MORE >>Newly Added Collectibles For Sale
I recently added a couple dozen items to the Collectibles section. Most are science-fiction pulps, with some historically important items among them. For example, there’s a pretty nice copy of the October 1933 Astounding Stories, the first issue published by Street & Smith and one of the scarcest of the entire run. I’m also offering […]
READ MORE >>Happy New Year!
To those who follow Murania Press: Please accept my best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2015. I know last year was a difficult one for many of you, and it’s no secret that 2014 was unexpectedly challenging for me as well. Funny how that happens just when you think everything is under control. […]
READ MORE >>On My Way to Cinecon
In 1974, shortly after my 21st birthday, I drove to New Haven, Connecticut with some film-buff friends to attend something called Cinecon 10. It was advertised as a convention for devotees of silent and early sound movies. The core membership was comprised of private collectors who shared 8mm and 16mm prints from their holdings. Musical […]
READ MORE >>BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER #41 (Summer) Now Shipping To Subscribers
I’m just back from Ohio and PulpFest 2014, which was an unqualified success. Still working on a convention report, but in the meantime I want to report that subscriber copies of Blood ‘n’ Thunder #41 (Summer 2014) are beginning to ship from the printer. Although the last issue was egregiously tardy in reaching some subscribers, […]
