Pulp Pinup Queen Mala Mastroberte Joins Murania Press At Windy City Con!

Posted in Uncategorized on April 18, 2014 @ 4:13 pm

Blood ‘n’ Thunder readers who hadn’t already heard of Mala Mastroberte got acquainted with her — well, acquainted with her work, anyway — in last year’s double issue. For those who didn’t get it (and what are you waiting for?), Mala is a lovely and talented woman whose fascination with pulp culture inspired her to […]

The last six months have been extraordinarily difficult ones for me in every conceivable way, and the six months before those weren’t much to brag about either. I’ve shared some of the details in previous posts and isolated e-mails, so there’s no point in going back over […]

Another DD&MM Hiccup….

Posted in Uncategorized on January 24, 2014 @ 11:28 am

Upon receiving a proof copy of Distressed Damsels and Masked Marauders last week, I was disappointed to see a number of photos that had not reproduced well. I probably should have expected this; with more than 300 illustrations, DD&MM is the most art-heavy book I’ve produced to date. In any event, I did the necessary […]

At this writing the beginning of 2014’s Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention is just 100 days away. I’m already excited. The Windy City con is always a great show, and I’m proud to have been a part of it since 2002, when Doug Ellis invited me to handle the film program. For the first […]

BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER #38 Update

Posted in Blood 'n' Thunder,Murania Press on January 10, 2014 @ 4:16 pm

Still in the process of working through back orders and getting ready to ship Distressed Damsels and Masked Marauders, I’ve decided that, at this late date, it would make no sense to print and ship Blood ‘n’ Thunder #38 in its present form.  Since the issue is so tardy, I’d have to whip up two […]

Exactly one hundred years ago today, motion-picture emporiums in selected cities across the country played Chapter One of the first true movie serial, Colonel William Selig’s The Adventures of Kathlyn. Over the next 40-odd years, more than 500 serials — or “chapter plays,” as they were also known — flashed across American theater screens in weekly […]

I hope all our friends are enjoying the holiday season and have been imbued with the accompanying spirit of forgiveness, because it’s time for me to open up a big can of mea culpa. Murania Press has been dormant for way too long, and I want to apologize sincerely for being unable to follow through […]

An Important Notice

Posted in Murania Press on September 13, 2013 @ 4:15 pm

Owing to the sudden convergence of rather severe problems — a Perfect Storm of bad luck, bad timing, unforeseen obstacles, and unintended consequences — the last several weeks have been extremely difficult for me. As a result I’ve been forced to postpone the printing and shipping of several Murania Press publications announced for late-Summer release, […]
