Since May 4, 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 3, the day after the 2026 PulpFest ends.
In future posts, we’ll discuss our PulpFest 2026 dealers, highlights from this year’s issue of The Pulpster, previews of new books debuting at PulpFest, and more.
And don’t forget to visit our auction page, where you’ll find nearly 200 lots of pulps, books, and more up for bids. Online bids can be placed through Tuesday, July 28.
We also have a link on our homepage where you can order a PulpFest t-shirt. They’re available in a variety of sizes in black or royal blue with the PulpFest logo across the chest (photo below). Click here for the link where you can check them out and place your order. They’ll also be available for sale at PulpFest 2026.

Our lead image was adapted by William Lampkin from Ed Valigursky’s cover art for the January 1955 issue of Amazing Stories.
Our final image is a modern take on the bumper sticker issued for George Pal’s 1975 movie Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze. It was adapted by Bill Lampkin for the Doc Con Facebook page.
