PULP FAN #4: SAVAGE, BENSON, BRUNDAGE & MUCH MORE

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!

JIM MAIN'S PULP FAN: A DOC SAVAGE SALUTE!!!

Jim Main Enterprises has succeeded again, with a stunning, new issue of PULP FAN. This latest offering salutes one of the genre's greatest: Doc Savage, Man of Bronze!!!

Brought to life by Lester Dent, John L. Nanovic and Henry W. Ralston in 1933, good ol' Doc Savage has performed a sterling and consistent job enthralling readers of all ages. He even graced a 1975 movie with Ron "Tarzan" Eli in the lead, produced by the great George Pal; and there's a new film on the horizon to star Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson. 

Pulp Fan #2 is jammed with related gems, including Link Hullar's super-informative interview with acclaimed Doc author/scholar, Will Murray; plus Mike Maloney's comprehensive overview of Philip Jose Farmer's Doc novels. There's also a terrific Doc short story by Hullar ("What Walks in the Night?") and a heartfelt issue-intro by editor-in-chief Main. 

To supplement the literary content, Pulp Fan #2 spotlights awe-inspiring artwork by Lance Boucher; Walter Baumhofer; Jamie Chase; Tom Doyle; Kevin Duncan; Tim Faurote; Marc Haines; John Lambert; and this issue's cover artist, Don Marquez. 

I salute Jim Main for saluting Doc Savage with this powerhouse of an issue. Can't wait to see what the next Pulp Fan holds!!!

You can purchase this issue by sending a $9 check or money order to Jim Main at PO Box 93; New Milford, CT 06776. You'll be mighty pleased to add this Doc Savage tribute to your pulp-hero collection.
