Since last August, we’ve had an announcement about PulpFest once a week. Starting today, we’ll release a post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We’ll maintain that pace until early July. Then we’ll have one post every weekday. Even the PulpFest promotion department needs a day off.
In the next few weeks, we’ll look at the prolific pulpster G. T. Fleming-Roberts, upcoming conventions, the Munsey Award, and Philip José Farmer. We’ll also welcome guest author Mike Croteau, one of the founders of both Meteor House and FarmerCon.
Throughout most of May and early June, we’ll explore our 2020 programming. This year’s convention will focus on “Bradbury, BLACK MASK, and Brundage” and their continuing influence on pop culture.
And if three “B’s” aren’t enough for you, how about Burroughs, Brackett, Baum, a couple of “B” movies, plus the “B”eautiful Eva Lynd. The PulpFest 2020 guest of honor was a top model for artists Norm Eastman and Al Rossi, and a frequent collaborator with Doc Savage model Steve Holland.

(Designed by PulpFest’s artistic director, William Lampkin, our PulpFest 2020 post card features the work of artist Frank Kelly Freas. His painting was originally used as the cover art for the Fall 1953 number of TOPS IN SCIENCE FICTION, published by Fiction House.
Our post cards are being distributed by book stores, comic shops, mail order dealers, conventions, book fairs, and other venues. They publicize all the wonders that are PulpFest 2020. If you’d like to help with our promotion efforts, please email the convention’s marketing director, Mike Chomko, at mike@pulpfest.com.)
