Conveniently located at the intersection of three major roadways, the DoubleTree boasts a fine restaurant in an open air setting.

The more adventurous can discover plenty of dining, shopping, and nightlife just a short drive away in downtown Pittsburgh. The DoubleTree also offers a 24-hour fitness center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a sauna.
We’re very happy the DoubleTree Cranberry will be hosting the summertime destination for pop culture fans and collectors. PulpFest seeks to honor pulp fiction and pulp art by drawing attention to the many ways they have inspired popular writers, artists, film directors, software developers, game designers, and other creators over the decades. Per our members, the DoubleTree is a terrific venue for our convention.
PulpFest 2019 will begin on Thursday evening, August 15, and run through Sunday, August 18. We hope to see you at the DoubleTree.
(As mentioned in our recent post, Doc Savage and Superman resembled each other. Doc was “The Man of Bronze,” while Superman was “The Man of Steel.” Both characters had a “Fortress of Solitude.” Both were named “Clark.” And in a 1934 advertisement, Street & Smith labeled Doc Savage a “superman.” Thus, PulpFest art director has created a PulpFest banner using H. J. Ward’s depiction of Superman and Walter Baumhofer’s “Man of Bronze.”
We hope you’ll join PulpFest in 2019 as we explore the many ways pulp fiction and pulp art have influenced writers, artists, film directors, software developers, game designers, and other pop culture creators over the decades.)
