Since May 1, we’ve had an announcement about this year’s PulpFest three days each week. Starting today, we’ll have a post every weekday — Monday through Friday — with an occasional weekend post. We’ll maintain this pace through August 5, the day after the 2024 convention ends.
In future posts, we’ll discuss our PulpFest 2024 dealers, highlights from this year’s issue of The Pulpster, look at new books premiering at PulpFest, and more.
And don’t forget to visit our auction page where you’ll find nearly 300 lots of pulps, magazines, books, and more up for bids. If you can’t attend PulpFest 2024, you can place an online bid through the end of this week.

Our featured image was excerpted from H. J. Ward’s original cover art for the May 1935 issue of Spicy-Adventure Stories while our lead image was adapted by William Lampkin from Ward’s original cover art for the August 1940 issue of Spicy Mystery. We’ll be celebrating 90 years of Harry Donenfeld’s “Spicy” pulps — the forerunners to Superman and DC Comics — at this year’s PulpFest.
Our final image was adapted by William Lampkin from Frank R. Paul’s cover art for the February 1927 issue of Amazing Stories, illustrating the first segment of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “The Land That Time Forgot.” PulpFest and ERBFest 2024 will celebrate the centennial of the first book publication of The Land That Time Forgot and the 50th anniversary of the film version of Burroughs’ adventure classic.
