November, 1934... "Let's go back in time and see dinosaurs," they said. "It'll be fun," they said . . .

As always, checking out Bill Thom's Coming Attractions leaves one with the realization that there is more great pulp-related stuff coming out right now than one could realistically read: www.pulpcomingattractions.com/#21_April_2017Bill updates every week without fail. Nobody keeps better track of the pulp scene than Thom. He also runs the Howard Works website.

Winter 1947. Proving, once again, that the pulps never had any room for strong, proactive female characters.

Arthur O. Friel was a pulp writer who specialized in wild tales of South American adventure. REH enjoyed Friel's stories and seems to have made a point of collecting back issues of Adventure to find them. Here's a good write-up: www.marialima.com/discovery-friel/

Robert Weinberg died recently. He was a major force in keeping the old pulps out there in some form, especially Weird Tales. He was also a good fiction author, IMO. Now, a tribute volume to Bob is being published. I'll let pulp scholar (and Bob's friend) Doug Ellis describe it: The tribute book to Bob Weinberg that Bob Garcia, Phyllis Weinberg and I edited -- Weinberg Tales -- made its debut at last month's Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention, and is now available for sale generally! The majority of the book prints Bob Weinberg's series of articles: "Collecting Fantasy Art.” It's a fascinating look at collecting science fiction art in the late 20th Century with profiles on collectors Gerry de la Ree, Sam Moskowitz, Darrell C. Richardson, Robert Lesser, and others. Through a series of remembrances of specific art deals, Bob describes how pulp and paperback cover art survived through the diligence and sometimes the crazy obsession of avid collectors. Illustrated with dozens of covers and illustrations from Bob's collection (in B&W). The book also contains "My Life in Fantasy" in which Bob describes his years-long connection with the World Fantasy Convention, culminating in his receipt of the convention’s Life Achievement Award in 2005. Finally, it republishes his life-affirming piece: “A Dream of Mars,” in which he details his life-long wish to travel to Mars. (Which explains Douglas Klauba’s stunning cover, based on a Virgil Finlay painting). There are examples of Weinberg miscellania scattered throughout: a Robert and Phyllis Weinberg Books ad, an "I Collect Fantasy Art" ad soliciting original art; their mail-order book catalog covers, sample pages from art catalogues, photos from the Robert E. Howard Days celebration in 2005, convention photos, family photos, book covers, fanzine covers and more. In addition, there are over 40 appreciations from family and friends including Randy Broecker, Mort Castle, Stefan R. Dziemianowicz, Phyllis & Alex Eisenstein, Harlan Ellison, Ken Faig, Lail Finlay, Ron Fortier, Mike Gold, George Hagenauer, Angeline Hawkes, Tina Jens, Stephen Jones, Stephen Korshak, Joe R. Lansdale, Terry McVicker, Will Murray, Otto Penzler, Steven H. Silver, David Truesdale, Ray Walsh, F. Paul Wilson and many more. Phyllis will be handling the orders on this. You can find the info on how to order copies at Bob Garcia's American Fantasy Press website: www.americanfantasypress.com/
