His second takes a look at the mythical “Nemedian Chronicles” that underpins REH’s world of Conan. That’s something I would have never imagined. The first takes a look at the connections between the works of Robert E. Pulp researcher Rick Lai provides two articles. I wonder if this might spark interest in his stories such that someone reprints them? I’m not interested in Western characters myself, but I am intrigued by the description of the bizarre foes he later went up against, making him almost a Western counterpart to Ace’s Secret Agent X or the Moon Man. I don’t think any of his stories have been reprinted. But at some point, he stopped writing pulp works and instead moved on to other matters. His work was so good that some thought he was just another pseudonym for Max Brant. During his pulp career, he had created a popular Western hero for the Ace magazines named Bert Little, who starred in over 70 stories. Pulp historian Will Murray takes a look at a now forgotten Western pulp author Clyde A. But is it really the culprit in several murders? And from the late author Ron Goulart is a reminiscence of his personal relationship with Woolrich. This one is about a black panther who is killing people. From well-known pulp historian Don Hutchison is a look at a film adaptation of Woolrich’s work Black Albi, which was based on a story that appeared in Strange Detective Stories. This one is on the short-lived genre of gangster pulps, where gangsters, molls, and other thugs were the main focus.Īuthor Cornell Woolrich is the subject of two pieces.
I’ve posted on some of his works, and still need to complete my review of his six-volume magnum opus, Yesterday’s Faces. We get a previously unpublished work by the late Robert Sampson.
We get a lot of top contributors this time. This one also clocks in at 334 pages, with articles, fiction reprints, and more on pulp, vintage movies, and old-time radio. Well, we got our 2023 annual issue of Blood ‘n’ Thunder, the Blood ‘n’ Thunder 2023 Special Edition, again a little before Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention.
