PulpFest

Head North of the Border this May

Fantastic Pulps 2015 PosterFor almost twenty years, Neil and Leigh Mechem have organized Canada’s one and only pulp convention. It’s called the Fantastic Pulps Show & Sale, held annually in the lower level of the Lillian H. Smith Branch of the Toronto Public Library, 239 College Street in Toronto.

A small but terrific show featuring a variety of pulp and pulp-related items, you’ll find twenty-five dealers’ tables crammed with collectible pulps, pulp reprints, vintage paperbacks, posters, and other ephemera. There’s also a half-hour pulp magazine cover slide show. It’s a great time for both serious pulp collectors as well as the casually interested, with lots of great stuff to see!

So if you reside in the states, grab your passport, and head north to Ontario for the Fantastic Pulps Show & Sale on Saturday, May 9th, beginning at 10 AM and running until 4 PM. For additional details, you can email Neil or Leigh Mechem at info@girasolcollectables.com or call 905-820-7572. Please tell ’em that PulpFest sent you.

(Robert Gibson Jones’ Fantastic Pulps poster was originally painted for the February 1950 issue of FANTASTIC ADVENTURES, published by Ziff-Davis. A Chicago commercial artist, Jones also painted covers for AMAZING STORIES, MAMMOTH ADVENTURE, MAMMOTH DETECTIVE, and MAMMOTH WESTERN.)
