Please join us from August 7 to 10 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh—Cranberry in Mars, Pennsylvania, as we honor three “Masters of Blood and Thunder!” We’ll be celebrating the 150th anniversary of Edgar Rice Burroughs’, Rafael Sabatini’s, and Edgar Wallace’s births.
But that’s not all! PulpFest 2025 will salute 90 years of pulp villains. Doctor Death, Doctor Satan, and The Mysterious Wu Fang all debuted way back in 1935! We’ll also celebrate the masters of Adventure magazine and who knows what else?
All this, plus ERBFest 2025, FarmerCon XX, and the long-awaited return of Doc Con! Just is time for the fiftieth anniversary of George Pal’s Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze.
Four conventions for the price of one, starting in 2025 at PulpFest!
As always, expect a terrific dealers’ room and superb programming. We’ve already lined up a lot of great presentations, plus appearances by contemporary creators inspired by the pulp fiction and art of the early twentieth century. PulpFest 2025 will be the 53rd convening of summer’s pulp con.
Stay tuned!
We’ll be releasing our planned programming schedule on December 2.

Our featured image is Jerome Rozen’s cover art for the seventh and final issue of The Mysterious Wu Fang, dated March 1936 and published by Popular Publications.
Our lead image was adapted by William Lampkin from Clinton Pettee’s cover for the October 1912 issue of The All-Story, illustrating Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel, “Tarzan of the Apes,” printed in its entirety. We’ll be saluting no less than three “Masters of Blood and Thunder” — Edgar Rice Burroughs, Rafael Sabatini, and Edgar Wallace on the 150th anniversary of their births.
