Pulp Magazines

Pulp Magazines (often referred to as "the pulps") were inexpensive fiction magazines widely published from the 1920s through the 1950s. The first "pulp" is considered to be Frank Munsey's revamped Argosy Magazine of 1896. Most remaining pulp magazines are science fiction or mystery magazines now in digest form.

The name "pulp" comes from the cheap wood pulp paper on which such magazines were printed. Parallels between comic books and pulp magazines can be drawn; for example, magazines often featured illustrated novel-length stories of heroic characters such as The Shadow, Doc Savage, and The Phantom Detective. Pulp magazines often contained a wide variety of genres, including detective/mystery, science fiction, adventure, romance, war, horror/occult, and others.
