MAIN'S PULP FAN #7: THE SHADOW KNOWS!

Main Enterprises' Pulp Fan #7 is dedicated to Walter B. Gibson's The Shadow, aka Lamont Cranston, a crusading mystic who dominated radio, film and periodicals for decades, making his "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows" one of the most mimicked declarations in popular culture. 

For this spectacular, Shadow salute, publisher Jim Main (in conjunction with the artistic eye of layout specialist, Bob Sodaro) gives an affluent intro per "The Publisher Speaks", thus priming readers for #7's articles: Will Murray's "The Shadow's Mercy", which details the character's evolution; Dennis Kininger's "They Knew What Evil Lurked in the Hearts of Men", which covers The Shadow's surreptitious agents; and Michael F. Housel's "George Jerome Rozen, Shadow Master", which essays the life and imagery of The Shadow's most prolific, cover artist.

When it comes to artwork, Pulp Fan #7 also flaunts creations by Tom Lovell, Vernon Greene, Paul Orban, Edd Cartier, Phil Latter, Kevin Dale Duncan and a gallery's worth by Frank Hamilton. The vibrant cover springs from Tim Faurote and the sensational inside-cover from John Lambert. Striking beauties through and through!

For any Shadow fan, Pulp Fan #7 is an essential, so be wise and purchase it while supplies last.

MAIN ENTERPRISES' PULP FAN #6: SAVAGE SUBMISSIONS

Ah, what adventurous wonders await in Main Enterprises' Pulp Fan #6!

As with previous issues, Doc Savage rules in articles on the Man of Bronze's legacy by Dennis Kininger, in "Bring on the Bad Guys" (an overview of Doc's arch adversaries); Will Murray on "The Four-Piece Affair" (a respectful focus on writer Walter Ryerson); and yours truly with "Toxic Masculinity! The Art of Emery Clarke" (a master of many of Doc's most striking images). And as a swell bonus, these prodigious articles are ushered by Jim Main's homespun "The Publisher Speaks".

To embolden the Savage essays, Pulp Fan #6's artwork springs from the aforementioned Clarke, Paul Orban, James Bama, Walter Baumhoffer, Joe DeVito, Kevin Dale Duncan, John Lambert, and Brad Olrich's dignified, Doc-and-crew/Orban-homage front cover. 

As always, Main Enterprises serves stunning layouts by the peerless Robert J. Sodaro, which makes Pulp Fan #6 yet another aesthetic collectible to own and exalt.
