Pulpfest 2018 - trip report

Medie Nisan 29, 2022

Recently returned from Pulpfest 2018, a 4 celebration of the pulp magazines. This year, the theme was World War 1. As usual, the convention had something for everyone. A fantastic job by the organizing committee - thanks to Jack Cullers and his family, Barry Traylor, Mike Chomko, Chuck Welch and many others.

The Panels

John Fleming Gould was the subject of a talk by his son. The artist did about 15,000 illustrations for the pulps in his career. I just about remembered to take a photo.

I didn't take a photo during David Saunder's excellent talk on the artists take on World War 1 in the pulps. I was too absorbed.

A new department - the art show. Some photos from it later.

And the biggest reason for going there, the Alladin's cave that is the dealers room

I nearly missed my own talk on Leonard H. Nason thanks to a delayed dinner. However, i managed to get my food in time by bribing our waiter to meet my deadline. In doing so, I also managed to delay the rest of the people at dinner and they mostly missed the talk. Pity.
