Main Enterprises revs into full-heroic throttle with Pulp Fan #4 (Dec '21).
This issue throws the spotlight on two of the all-time greats: Doc Savage and Richard Henry Benson, aka the Avenger, with articles by Teel James Glenn ("A Phoenix of Justice: The Avenger"); William Murray ("The Lost Doc Savage Intermission"); Mark Lambert ("Lester Dent Memorial Bridge Dedication"); and the presiding Jim Main ("The Publisher Speaks!")
There's also an overview of Conan/Weird Tales artist, Margaret Brundage by yours truly, featuring facts of her life and examples from her influential career.
To add extra frosting to the nostalgic cake, this issue's bracketing artistry is nothing short of breathtaking, with eye-popping contributions by John Lambert and Kevin Duncan (dishing up some swell, Avenging inserts); Jim Ordolis (giving the Shadow ample light); Frank Hamilton (rendering a lively, Savage sequence); Scott McClung (supplying a bold, Spidery back cover); and Allen Freeman (kicking it all off with some astounding, neo-Avenger front-cover splash, adorned by Marc Haines' slick logo). Robert J. Sodaro also deserves mountainous praise for laying out (and editing) the contents in such a sleek, professional manner.
Main Enterprises produces the finest pulp-cultural periodicals around, celebrating a glorious past, while embracing a fanciful future. Pulp Fan #4 is no exception to that fulfilling rule.
Get Pulp Fan #4 by sending a check or money order of $8.25 (for within-the-U.S. mailing only) to Jim Main; 130 Wellsville Av; Back of House; New Milford CT 06776.
Pulpy euphoria is affirmed!
