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.

SSGT Martin


SSgt Martin

Creator: Tom Johnson
Characters
SSGT Martin

SSgt Martin leads a squad of well-trained soldiers through the Viet Cong infested jungles of Southeast Asia on reconnaissance for enemy activity. These men aren’t suicidal heroes, they just want to survive the war and go home in one piece. It’s Sergeant Martin’s duty to see that they do! Here, death is their constant companion, and they learn about fear, and the dangers lurking in the night.
These are men who are faceless. Perhaps a son, a husband, or a father. Most are 19 years old, except for their leader, Staff-Sergeant Martin, a career soldier that began service to his country on the DMZ in Korea. Now he must fight a new war, and do his best to send his men back to wives and families.
