Ring in the new year by planning to join PulpFest 2026!
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.
Sound good? Then, ring out the old, and ring in a new membership to PulpFest 2026. Click the registration button at the top of our webpage to join.
We look forward to seeing you from July 30 – August 2 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry in Mars, Pennsylvania, for a celebration of the centennials of Amazing Stories and Ghost Stories, as well as the sesquicentennial of the birth of Jack London, the popular writer and an early innovator in the science fiction genre.
And don’t forget, your PulpFest membership also makes you a member of Doc Con 2026, Farmercon XXI, and the first Shadow Con, a new mini-convention celebrating the “Master of Darkness.” That’s 4 conventions for the price of one! You can’t beat that deal!
Your friends from the PulpFest organizing committee — Mike Chomko, Jack and Sally Cullers, Bill Lampkin, Craig McDonald, Regie and David Powell, and Barry Traylor — wish everyone a happy and healthy new year.
For some more holiday spirit, put on your party hat and head to our YouTube Channel for Craig McDonald’s latest video — Season’s Greetings from PulpFest!
And while you’re there, pick up a free subscription to catch all of our upcoming films.
Our featured image is excerpted from Robert G. Harris’ cover for the January 1, 1938 issue of Liberty. Harris is best remembered for his Doc Savage Magazine covers from 1936 – 37.
Our lead image is the January 4, 1936 issue of Liberty, with cover art by George Larkin, an artist employed by Bernarr Macfadden, the publisher of Ghost Stories. He contributed covers and illustrations to Liberty, Physical Culture, True Story, and other magazines in the publisher’s chain.
Emile C. Tepperman, IV, has been writing occasionally for our website since 2017. He is purportedly the great-grandson of Operator #5, The Spider, and Suicide Squad author Emile Clemens Tepperman. Do we know that for a fact? We haven’t a clue!
