Things kick off with an intro from Richard A. The focus seems to be paperbacks in the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s. Ed wrote most of this, but also has contributions from Will Murray, Gary Lovisi, and David Saunders, all authorities in this area.Ĭoming in at around 230 pages, it contains 12 chapters, each focused on a different area of paperbacks. There are sections on pulp reprints in the paperbacks, including the pulp heroes, so this is definitely worth getting for the pulp fan. And sadly, if you pay attention to the title, it’s really not about pulp fiction, but on paperbacks - which are not pulp.īut this is not Ed’s fault. There are other anthologies out there, but this one is probably the best of them.Ī sort-of follow-up recently came from IDW, this time edited only by Ed Hulse: The Art of Pulp Fiction: An Illustrated History of Vintage Paperbacks. Edited by Doug Ellis, Ed Hulse, and the late Robert Weinberg, all of whom are long-time fans and collectors of pulp artwork.
I previously reviewed an excellent book from IDW titled The Art of the Pulps: An Illustrated History, published in 2017.
