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.

Preliminary Listing


Preliminary Listing
THE NEW PULP HEROES

Writers who have a love for the old pulp heroes often create their own characters in similar mold to the original pulp heroes, but bringing in their own slant to the old stories. Over the last few years these new characters have been popping up quite regularly. The new stuff is appearing so fast I’m not able to keep up with them, so there are undoubtedly others out there. I’ve also added the name of the creator where known. The list is only preliminary and is far from complete. Pulps were called such because of the pulpwood paper used to print the magazine, so I felt only characters in print should apply. However, more and more are appearing in Kindle and other electronic media, so if you feel that I have missed anyone, please let me know, or copy this list and add your data to it. And please let me know if I have anything wrong. We can compare data at a later date, and update this listing.

  1. In addition to my Rook character, I have Lazarus Gray (three books published so far and a fourth completed) and Gravedigger (one book published so far, with a second completed). Also -- it's Reese with an 's' not a 'c'. :-)

  2. Thanks for adding Lance Star, Tom. There's also Rick Ruby, as created by myself and Sean Taylor. He has his moments of heroics.

    Great list.

  4. Thanks Bobby. I just posted the info. BTW, you're welcome to Guest Blog on Pulp Den http://pulplair.blogspot.com/ some time.

    Michael, Give me the characters of Wayne Reingel. Was Doc Hazzard one of his? I know about Captain Hazzard, but not Doc. Captain Hazzard is an original pulp character.

    That's Patricia Wildman (Philip Jose' Farmer and Win Scott Eckert)
