Loving the site. Is there a reason that comments are restricted to team members only? Matter of fact, there is: ALL-PULP is intended as more of a news site and so we restrict the comments to the actual staff. Such staff being myself, Barry Reese, Tommy Hancock, Bobby Nash, Ron Fortier, Van Allen Plexico and Sarge Portera. If you want to comment you're encouraged to please make use of the ALL PULP Facebook page until such time as we can get a proper forum up and running.

Derrick -- I read your excellent take on SKY CAPTAIN on this site. Personally, I think that's the single greatest movie ever made. Or at least I would have, if I had seen it when I was 10. Back then -- before the advent of cable and VCRs -- lots of us were attracted to cheesy mystery / adventure stuff from the 30s and 40s, because that's a lot of what played on TV that was pitched to a juvenile level. SC&TWOT completely took me back to that time, not just in the action, but in the banter between the hero and the girls. Okay, on pulp I have two questions for you: 1) About 15 or so years ago I snatched up some used copies of the Bantam Doc Savage re-prints, as I'd read them as a kid and wanted to thrill to them anew. I didn't finish the one I started, because there were racial portraits of the most odious sort that depressed me altogether and stopped me in my tracks. (Not literally -- I was on a long train trip when I was reading these.) This soured me on these titles, and it also held me back from liking THE CHINATOWN DEATH-CLOUD PERIL, as I didn't feel like rooting for Lester Dent. I realize allowances have to made when characters like James Bond or Bulldog Drummond say insensitive or obnoxious things in books written decades ago. But the section that bothered me in the Savage book -- I don't recall the name -- was a moronic black character included solely to appeal to the derisive instincts of the readers. Have you ever found this? 2) Have you or your colleagues been following the Gabriel Hunt series and what are your thoughts? I read the first one, which was enjoyable. I love the whole idea and the efforts the Hard Case guys have put into it. www.huntforadventure.com/

Eddie,
For years people have asked me how as a black man (sorry, but I don't use the term African-American if I can avoid it. I can't stand it) I can read and enjoy pulps when there's a lot of racism going on in there.
What can I say? I watch and read a lot of fiction produced during the 30's/40's/50's that have sterotypical characters and situations and quite frankly it doesn't bother me. Maybe it should but the plain fact it doesn't. That material was created during a time when people were not as enlightened or as culturally sensitive as they are now. I recognize that fact and move on. Truth is, there's a lot of racist material being produced today that offends me more because it's created and promoted by black people who are supposed to know better. That's the kind of racism that angers me. Not racism in a pulp written nearly 70 years ago by a man long dead and long past caring. But that's a whole other subject.
I've always been on the mind that popular entertainment such as comic books, pulps and movies can sometimes give us a better eye on the way people of a particular era thought, dressed and behaved. For better or worse, the way that Lester Dent and other pulp writers of the day portrayed blacks, Asians, Jews, Hispanics, etc. was the way the majority of white people thought these various races actually were. It's a sad fact that we shouldn't forget.
If it offends you or anybody else then by all means, don't read it and don't support it. People actually get upset with me because I don't get upset. But what can I say? I prefer to deal with the racism being written today and passed off as entertainment.
Now onto the GABRIEL HUNT books. I have the first one but I haven't read it yet. I've heard nothing but good things about the whole series so I'm looking forward to reading it. Which I will been doing so soon. The stack of unread books by my bed is getting dangerously wobbly and Patricia has firmly put her foot down and forbidden me to buy any more books until I've at least made a dent in the ones I have.
