Ring in the new year by planning to join PulpFest 2025!
PulpFest is a paradise for fans of pulp magazines, digests, vintage paperbacks, original artwork, and other collectibles. Collectors will also find first-edition hardcovers, men’s adventure and true crime magazines, series books, Big Little Books, B-movies, serials and their related paper collectibles, old-time radio shows, vintage comic books, and more in our spacious dealers’ room.
For those who simply like to read pulp or genre fiction, you’ll find science-fiction hardcovers and paperbacks, mysteries, adventure fiction, and countless pulp reprints from both specialty publishers and direct from contemporary writers.
So ignore that old adage about “Ring out the old, ring in the new.” Let’s ring in the new year with some grand old pulp fiction!
We look forward to seeing you from August 7 – 10 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry in Mars, Pennsylvania for a celebration of the “Masters of Blood and Thunder” and more! You can join the convention by clicking the “registration” button at the top of the PulpFest webpage.
Your friends from the PulpFest organizing committee — Mike Chomko, Jack and Sally Cullers, Bill Lampkin, Craig McDonald, and Barry Traylor — wish everyone a happy and healthy new year.
Although Detective Story Magazine regularly saluted Yuletide with a special Christmas number, it rarely did the same for the New Year holiday.
As far as we know, our featured image — excerpted from John A. Coughlin’s cover for the January 1, 1931 issue — and our lead image — Coughlin’s cover for the December 28, 1929 number — are the only two New Year’s themed covers published by the Street & Smith pulp magazine.
For some more holiday spirit, grab some confetti, put on your party hat, and check out Craig McDonald’s latest video — PulpFest Wishes You a Happy 2025 — on the PulpFest YouTube Channel.
And while you’re there, gift yourself a free subscription to catch all of our upcoming films.
