BLOOD 'N' THUNDER #20 (Spring 2008) features another mix of articles
covering adventure, mystery and melodrama in various media. In the
cover story, BnT editor Ed Hulse offers an account of the lengthy
process involved in compiling ADVENTURE’s highly touted 25th-
anniversary issue of November 1935. It’s a rare behind-the-scenes look
at how a great pulp magazine was put together. From a 1930 issue of
WRITER'S DIGEST comes “Writers A-Wing,” an informative, comprehensive
survey of the pre-Depression market in aviation pulps, written by
genre stalwart Arch Whitehouse. Old-Time Radio researcher and author
Martin Grams Jr. returns to the pages of BnT with the first half of a
lengthy, richly detailed article on the Sam Spade radio show—which, as
Martin reveals, dramatized some of Dashiell Hammett’s Continental Op
stories, replacing the Op character with Spade! Another installment of
“Cliffhanger Classics” finds Ed Hulse examining the brief careers of
Pathe’s last serial team, Hugh Allan and Gladys McConnell, whose
starring vehicles included THE TIGER'S SHADOW (1928) and THE FIRE
DETECTIVE (1929). This article is illustrated with rare photos from
the late Ms. McConnell’s personal collection.
Single copies of BLOOD 'N' THUNDER #20 are $6.00 plus $1.50 for
postage. One-year (four-issue) subscriptions are available for $25.
Payments should be made out and mailed to: Ed Hulse, 2467 Route 10

Special Note: Ed still has limited quantities (literally a handful) of

These are priced at $10 each. Ed will be selling these, as well as
the latest issues and THE BLOOD 'N' THUNDER GUIDE TO COLLECTING PULPS,

BLOOD 'N' THUNDER #21 (Summer 2008) is already being assembled and,
hopefully, will also be available at Pulpcon. |
