	Pulp magazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pulp magazines (or pulp fiction; often referred to as "the pulps") were inexpensive fiction magazines.
		Parallels between comic books and pulp magazines can be drawn; for example, magazines often featured illustrated novel-length stories of heroic characters such as The Shadow, Doc Savage, and The Phantom Detective.
		Pulps were the successor to the "penny dreadfuls" and "dime novels" of the nineteenth century.

	DITL - article Pulp magazine
		Pulp magazines are almost forgotten now: their existence is reduced to some titles, some characters and a few authors.
		Pulp magazine publishing was said to be «the business of purveying predigested day-dreams to people who cannot dream for themselves».
		Pulp magazines are best remembered for the definition - perhaps even the creation - of figures and codes of science-fiction, detective stories, horror and fantasy.

	Browne Popular Culture Library
		Pulp magazines were sold primarily at newsstands rather than through mail subscriptions, and, by 1914, the dramatic, illustrated cover had emerged as the primary means of attracting readers away from the competition.
		Some pulps lived on as digest magazines; the greatest of the postwar science fiction magazines, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, was founded in 1949 as a digest and set the style for science fiction periodicals to follow.
		Functionally, the pulp magazine, a 10-by-7-inch magazine printed on cheap paper, was dead as a form by the late fifties.

		PULP was the first English-language magazine to run the kind of manga that make comics a mass medium for ordinary adults in Japan, from dynamic action narratives to avant-garde ventures, when it debuted in December 1997.
		Despite critical acclaim (PULP's Uzumaki is nominated for an Eisner this year for "Best U.S. Edition of Foreign Material"), Viz confirmed that the cancellation is a result of low sales and it is no longer fiscally viable to continue the publication of the magazine.
		Upon the completion of the magazine's final issue, subscriptions will automatically be transferred to Animerica EXTRA, a monthly manga anthology featuring shôjo (girls' comics) titles, for the remainder of the paid PULP subscription.

	A Brief History of Science Fiction & Pulp Magazines
		These "pulp magazines", originating with The Argosy in the 1890's, had grown and multiplied during the first 30 years of the 20th century, and by 1930 there were hundreds of titles, many "sf" oriented, many general adventure, western and air-war, some "spicy", some "love," and many "hero" or character centered.
		There was a brief revival of interest in pulp magazines in the early 1940's but by 1947, pulp readers were turning to Ballantine and Ace "paperbacks", and by 1954 all the pulps were gone.
		The first "pulp magazine" has not actually been identified per se, but it probably appeared in the 1880's.

	Pulp and Dagger -- Editorial #14
		This particular Pulp magazine I got for a song namely because it was in less than pristine condition.
		The Pulp era reportedly began, in the last decade of the 19th Century, when a man named Frank Munsey got the marvelous idea that maybe the story was more important than the paper it was printed on.
		Once the ordinary Joe could afford the average magazine, the ordinary Joe was only too happy to plunk down his twenty cents for a chance to read about the latest exploits of The Shadow or Doc Savage or the Spider.

	The Shadow Magazine
		No pulp magazine in 1931 was still built around a single character, with a novel-length story in each issue featuring him — the publishing world considered that format to be dead as a doornail.
		When “The Shadow” magazine debuted with the April 1931 issue, it turned the pulp magazine upside down.
		Though Walter B. Gibson and Lester Dent would write most of the novel-length stories for their respective magazines to the end (in the late 1940s), S&S used a fictional "house name" for the authors, in case the writers ever had to be replaced.

	Boing Boing: Pulp SF magazine's role in atom bomb
