He’ll be featuring articles on “hardboiled dicks, dangerous dames, and a few psychos,” as well as other interesting topics.

(The cover art for the 2016 PULPSTER was painted by H. W. McCauley for the August 1942 number of AMAZING STORIES. What actually ran on the 1942 AMAZING was a modified version of the painting. PULPSTER editor William Lampkin discusses the alterations to McCauley’s painting in his editorial column in the magazine. If you’d like a copy, please write to Mike Chomko today! Only a few copies remain.)
