PULPDOM is a little magazine about the pulp magazines and their contributors. Pulps, in this 6 x 9 format, began about 1896 and ended in about 1957. It all began for me in May 1960 with ERB-dom No. 1, a fanzine about Edgar Rice Burroughs. After some twists and turns for over the next decades, the name Pulpdom was adopted in January, 1997, and the mission of the magazine gelled into a celebration of all the popular pulps and their authors.
Perhaps the four most famous pulp authors are Edgar Rice Burroughs, Max Brand, H. Bedford-Jones and probably Lester Dent. The most famous pulp magazines are The Argosy, Blue Book, Amazing Stories, The Shadow, Doc Savage and at least 200 more, always reflecting personal interests. Where did they come from, what did they contain, and what finally happened? Did they become very successfull like ERB, did they move into the slicks like George Worts, or into western novels en masse like Max Brand, or into dog stories like A. P. Terhune, or into movies or into a cult status like Robert E. Howard. Or did they stay in the pulps for the most part, like H. Bedford-Jones, a pulp king who wrote from 1911 through the early 1940s.
