A team of experts in each of the ten major Pulpgenres, from action Pulps to spicy Pulps and more, chart for the first time thecomplete history of Pulp magazines-the stories and their writers, thegraphics and their artists, and, of course, the publishers, their market, andreaders. Each chapter in the book, whichis illustrated with more than 400 examples of the best Pulp graphics (many fromthe Editors' collections-among the world's largest) isorganized in a clear and accessible way, starting with an introductory overviewof the genre, followed by a selection of the best covers and interior graphics,organized chronologically through the chapter.

All images are fully captioned(many are in essence "nutshell" histories in themselves).

Two special featuresin each chapter focus on topics of particular interest (such as extendedprofiles of Daisy Bacon, Pulp author and editor of Love Story, the hugelysuccessful romance Pulp, and of Harry Steeger, co-founder of PopularPublications in 1930 and originator of the "Shudder Pulp"genre).

With an overall Introduction on"The Birth of the Pulps" by Doug Ellis, and with two additional chaptersfocusing on the great Pulp writers and the great Pulp artists, The Art of thePulps covers every aspect of this fascinating genre; it is the firstdefinitive visual history of the Pulps.
