Rather usefully for some, there’s now a biographical-survey directory to Who’s Who In New Pulp<\/a><\/em>, published by Airship 27 Productions at \u00a34 in Kindle. The book includes artists, editors and publishers as well as writers. In its first edition it appears to be a working Who’s Who<\/em> directory for the field, rather than a survey of the tales, themes and ideas. Probably also of interest to early-bird collectors.<\/p>\n

The book has been compiled and edited by veteran comics writer Ron Fortier, now turned neo-pulpster. Ron also has a My Life in Comics (a Memoir)<\/em> ebook available.<\/p>\n

One of the pulp genres looking increasingly lively is the Weird Western, and historians are also taking an interest. Dark Worlds Quarterly<\/em> also has a short but useful new historical survey of Weird Westerns and Lee Winters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In games I hear that there’s also a substantial action-RPG videogame with the same theme, Weird West<\/em>. The isometric view and turn-based combat doesn’t make it look very appealing, but I guess I might have once thought the same about the superb Titan Quest<\/em>. There’s a trailer, but no release date beyond “2021”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
