Pulp Magazines

Pulp magazines contain some of the most widely-read characters ever created. Tarzan, The Shadow and Doc Savage – among others – are a touchstone for many modern comic-books, television series and films, though the originals are vastly superior in entertainment value if not quality. I have put together a few links to sites where you can read for the Amazing and the Weird for yourself.

For an introduction to the pulp heroes, have a look at The Pulp Heroes by Jess Nevins.

Black Mask Magazine has had a few stories pulled from the archives and placed on their official website.
There are a number of scans of stories available here, taken from a wide variety of classic pulp magazines.
Yet more scans of classic stories are available at the Miscellanea page of Retro Novello, including Sax Rohmer, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Johnston McCulley pieces.

The Pulp Series Character Reprint Index lists most (if not all) of the currently known pulp reprints. Some of the paperbacks in which the shorter stories were collected are just as collectable as the original magazines.

Anyone familiar with the Ubiquity Roleplaying System™ might want to take a look at Mythic Eras for pulp-flavored gaming resources (they have a nice Hollow Earth PDF available for download).
The Wold Newton crossover indexes of characters, and how they interact with each other is a major component of recent fiction, and there is no better site for information on the subject than The Wold Newton Universe.

Street & Smith (publisher of many pulp magazines) have a number of images here, takes from the Syracuse University Library.
