Volume 1, Issue 1 - February, 1939. Cover by Frank R. Paul, depicting a scene from Stanton Coblentz's novel "The Lord of Tranerica." Stories by Stanton Coblentz, Lloyd Arthur Eshbach, Robert Moore Williams, Nelson S. Bond and Hubert Mavity. A complete gripping novel: "The Lord of Tranerica" by Stanton Coblentz - Because Hannibal Spratt, inhuman dictator of Tranerica, wanted lovely Celia Stanwick, his exploding time-machine made a space-devouring Catalyst of the Fourth Dimension, and sucked Celia out of 1938 into the mad mechanical hell of 2439! Plus two great long science novelettes: "Mutineers of Space" by Lloyd Arthur Eshbach - Doomed by an Interplanetary racketeer to slave their lives away for the rejuvenating sulphur crystals of Jupiter, what chance had those frail Terrestrials to escape the monstrous Jovians and blast their way 550,000,000 miles to Mercury and revenge! "Quest of Zipantoric" by Robert Moore Williams - Within that amazing bubble of flame was a beautiful girl, her hand holding a scepter symbol of Zipantoric -- her gesture condemning Dick Markle and Dr. Burstone to the terrible wrath of a Mayan fire god's incredible scientific devices! And two super-science short stories: "The Mercurian Menace" by Nelson S. Bond - What fiendish creatures of flame lived on that macabre terrain which was the dark side of Mercury? Aided by the bouncing-ball humans of the hot side, Buzz Carson plunged too late into the chill anti-hell necromancy of that inexplicable land to join a lovely girl in a destiny of disintegration! "The Message from the Void" by Hubert Mavity - Mutual misunderstanding between Mars and Earth -- because of two factors in the abstract beyond their comprehension! Plus science departments The Test Tube and Through the Telescope. 7-in. x 10-in., 114 pages, B&W. Cover price $0.15.

Judge these books by their covers! Get immersed in the definitive visual history of pulp fiction paperbacks from 1940 to 1970.

The Art of Pulp Fiction: An Illustrated History of Vintage Paperbacks chronicles the history of pocket-sized paperbound books designed for mass-market consumption, specifically concentrating on the period from 1940 to 1970. These three decades saw paperbacks eclipse cheap pulp magazines and expensive clothbound books as the most popular delivery vehicle for escapist fiction. To catch the eyes of potential buyers they were adorned with covers that were invariably vibrant, frequently garish, and occasionally lurid. Today the early paperbacks-like the earlier pulps, inexpensively produced and considered disposable by casual readers-are treasured collector's items.

Award-winning editor Ed Hulse (The Art of the Pulps and The Blood 'n' Thunder Guide to Pulp Fiction) comprehensively covers the pulp-fiction paperback's heyday. Hulse writes the individual chapter introductions and the captions, while a team of genre specialists and art aficionados contribute the special features included in each chapter. These focus on particularly important authors, artists, publishers, and sub-genres.

Illustrated with more than 500 memorable covers and original cover paintings. Hulse's extensive captions, meanwhile, offer a running commentary on this significant genre, and also contain many obscure but entertaining factoids. Images used in The Art of Pulp Fiction have been sourced from the largest American paperback collections in private hands, and have been curated with rarity in mind, as well as graphic appeal. Consequently, many covers are reproduced here for the first time since the books were first issued.

With an overall Introduction by Richard A. Lupoff, novelist, essayist, pop-culture historian, and author of The Great American Paperback (2001).
