The largest issue of this award-winning journal to date, Summer 2011 features an extensively researched article on Frank A. Munsey, the father of the pulp magazine. Other articles cover the early years of the Shadow radio show, the 1940 cliffhanger serial DRUMS OF FU MANCHU, a rare 1940 comic book with thinly disguised adaptations of hero-pulp novels, and the last years of legendary pulp and comic collector Bill Blackbeard. There's also a 1939 column by Erle Stanley Gardner lamenting the state of pulp publishing, and a Robert Leslie Bellem yarn reprinted from SPICY ADVENTURE STORIES. As always, the articles are profusely illustrated.
