Before the epic movie Pulp Fiction, there was Pulp
Magazines. Pulp magazines (often referred to as "the
pulps") were inexpensive fiction magazines that were
published from 1896 through the 1950s. The term pulp derives
from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were
printed; in contrast, magazines printed on higher quality
paper were called "glossies" or "slicks". The typical pulp
magazine had 128 pages; it was 7 inches (18 cm) wide by 10
inches (25 cm) high, and 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) thick, with
ragged, untrimmed edges.
In their first decades, pulps were most often priced at ten
cents per magazine, while competing slicks cost 25 cents a
piece. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls,
dime novels, and short fiction magazines of the 19th
century. Although many respected writers wrote for pulps,
the magazines were best known for their lurid and
exploitative stories and sensational cover art. Modern
superhero comic books are sometimes considered descendants
of "hero pulps"; pulp magazines often featured illustrated
novel-length stories of heroic characters.
This DVD contains the complete
run of both magazines, Air Wonder Stories and Science Wonder
Stories, published in 1929 and 1930. Each issue is
about 100 pages.
Please note that this collection contains scans of old magazines, some
of which were in poor condition before being rescued and digitized for
posterity. This means that you may see some covers with creases
and tears that show up in the scans.
