Pulp: A Fiction Magazine
In February 1995, Clancy
O’Hara published a small-press magazine titled, Pulp: A Fiction Magazine (dated
Winter 1995), a Ramrod Publications, out of Hermosa, California. Such stalwart
writers as R.T. Lawton, Rick Brooks, and Aaron B. Larson were contributors.
Clancy and Quentin Tarantino were friends at the time, so I’ve often wondered
how much influence Tarantino’s 1994 movie had on Clancy’s magazine.
With issue #3, summer of 1995,
Tom Johnson’s Black Ghost made his debut appearance in Clancy’s magazine. The
first of four stories to star the new pulp hero, in an adventure titled “Behind
The Mask”.
Clancy mentioned on a Blog
that he published the magazine for three years, but there seems to be some
doubt about the actual length of time Pulp: A Fiction Magazine ran. I only saw
seven issues, and #7 was dated Spring, 1996. As it was, R.T. Lawton, Rick
Brooks, and Aaron B. Larson quickly began writing for the Fading Shadows
magazines.
