Not an "online" resource but I recently received my copy of "The Pulp Hero-Special Edition" By Nick Carr, published by "Wildcat Books" with short writeups on various characters ,both the famous ("Doc Savage", "G-8", "The Shadow", "Tarzan" etc) and the more obscure ("Captain Zero","Phineas Pinkham" and "Matalaa : The White Savage" for example). The web address of the publisher is given as www.lulu.com. (Er if someone who knows more about it than I could check that address out and post a link I would appreciate it !) Includes a section on "The Care and Feeding of Pulps" for serious collectors of the old magazines but so far I have only skimmed the contents.

Another resource for Pulp (especially Pulp Weirdness) is "Adventures Unlimited Press) at www.wexclub.com/aup. They publish the work of David Hatcher Childress for a start but I have more recently got a copy of "In Secret Mongolia" by Henning Haslund, a reprint of a Danish explorer in Mongolia in the 1920's and '30's, which looks to be just FULL of ideas for a pulp adventure !

More on "Wild Cat Books" (referred to in my last post). Looks like a modern publisher who wants to revive the "pulp" genre. I have a novel er book of novellas/short stories (which I am reading at the moment)entitled "The Hounds Of Hell" by Ron Fortier and Gordon Linzner which features a confrontation between two pulp characters ;the evil "Doctor Satan" and the "Robin Hood" type "hero" "The Moon Man". They also publish reprints of the works of such writers as Sax Rohmer, H Rider Haggard and "Russell Thorndike ("Dr Syn : A smugglers Tale Of Romney Marsh") as well as new fiction featuring characters with names like "Brother Grim" and "Captain Spectre and the Lightning Legion" !

Here's a great link that was posted recently in the Dragonsfoot forum. The creater of this site has a gallery of cover art for Weird Tales magazine starting with the year 1923. I thought I had to post the link here. They should provide great inspiration for your pulp adventures.

Sorry forgot to say Happy New Year everyone im my previous post.

Here's another link I wish to share. This person shares her memories of travelling by airship in 1933.

Don Carnage I presume?

Heh, no ... well, sort of.

I admire his style and his conveyances, and he is a snazzy dresser , but my inspirations are a little more old-school.

I've always like pirates. My favorite characters in games like traveller, twilight 2000 and flashing blades were pirates. I've always like airships, since movies like Hindenberg and Zeppelin. But what finally brought the two together was the Crimson Skies boardgame.

By the way, I see you're living up to your moniker.

Too bad that Crimson Skies cost so much otherwise it might have flown.

See yah
