Someone answered my #DocSavage novels #Craigslist ad mentioning they're in Oregon, by Potrland, and my brain ran a few clicks on "but I thought I posted in the Vancouver BC Craigslist and not the Vancouver WA one."

I can ship from Point Roberts, but I hadn't considered anyone in a nation of 390 million, within driving distance of Powells Books, would answer my ad.

#PulpFiction #magazines, like #AmazingStories, #WeirdTales, #DocSavage, #TheShadow, & hundreds more, pulled us through the 1940s toward the millennium.

For 30+ years #RustyHevelin ran the original #PulpCon here in #DaytonOhio. Collectors visited us annually. Now, we've essentially run out of #PulpMagazines & the evolved #PulpFest has moved to PA. I miss the books & their fans.

#Pulps are fragile & difficult to find in any condition. Perhaps we let some go too easily...

I am reading 1930's pulp novel Doc Savage The Man of Bronze

#Books #DocSavage #SuperHero

"Thurston" is Dr. Thurston Lane Wilder, chairman of the board of trustees of the James C. Wilder Foundation. The Wilders and Lanes are two major #WoldNewton families. Sia's a Foundation trustee and their top agent because she's the great 20th-century hero Doc Wilder's granddaughter on her mother's side. Basically I'm aping the structure of #DocSavage novels in a longer and far less "pulpy" format.

That's it for tonight. Now to start practicing my drawing again.

A note, especially for #WoldNewton, #DocSavage, and #StarTrek fans (did you know Spock's descended from major Wold Newton figure Sherlock Holmes through his mother?): "Sia is Doc Savage as a beautiful bisexual slut" is a riff on "Captain Kirk is a beautiful lesbian", which originated in this classic blog post:
