Goal

This Site is for essays on The New Pulp Heroes. It’s about time we catalog new characters appearing in books and anthologies. Since I do not have time to read everything being published, I will offer space here for legitimate creators of new pulp characters to send me their data, and I will post their essays. It is not my place to say what is, or what is not a new pulp hero, and the only changes I will make to essays will be editing and format. If you wish, include a jpeg of a book cover or b&w illustration if you have permission from the artist. By sending me your essays, you are giving me permission to promote and showcase this data. Essays should be up to 500 words, and include information on MC and back up characters, creator, title of books, and where the stories can be found. A paperback edition is now available for $12.00, plus $3.99 postage (US). The book will only be sold through us: Tom Johnson, 204 W. Custer St., Seymour, TX 76380.

There is only one story so far. Professor William Gregory has invited several people to his home in the country, where he intends to kill them. During WWI, he had been left for dead by his unit as the German soldiers were advancing, but had been taken prisoner, and blamed those who had left him. Only one of them still lived, but their children would pay for their sins. However, unaware that one of his intended victims had invited a friend on the special invitation to a party, The Blue Scarab is also on hand.
