Pulp's fun and can make for a good brake pad or breathing spot between the more psychologically intense purist games.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-28310760824230100052012-04-03T00:38:10.397-04:002012-04-03T00:38:10.397-04:00Lately I've been becoming a big fan of the Ato...Lately I've been becoming a big fan of the <i>Atomic Robo</i> comics put out by Red 5 Comics. Even though the timeline jumps around a lot, it spends quite a bit of time in the 30s and 40s - and there's even a Lovecraftian storyline (<i>Volume 3: The Shadow From Beyond Time</i>). And even when it's not the "correct" pulp period, it's still pretty pulpy straight through.Simon J.

Though it's set in the modern day, the early issues at least of John Constantine: Hellblazer do some nice occult detective stuff.<br /><br />Of course, some of REH's modern stories have two-fisted confrontations with weird menaces.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-22823771412338483702012-04-02T12:46:34.158-04:002012-04-02T12:46:34.158-04:00Lobster Johnson is spot-on for this.

The current story "The Burning Hand" features a great Weird Detective story with supernatural antagonists. Less overt than the previous stories, and thereby more unsettling.<br /><br />Sandman Mystery Theater is my other go-to pulp comic resource for this sort of thing. The original Batman stories are also genuinely bizarre by today's standards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862556389958594140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4353391426294254427.post-77027725220544819222012-04-02T05:53:02.999-04:002012-04-02T05:53:02.999-04:00The key source for me is the Indiana Jones trilogy...The key source for me is the Indiana Jones trilogy. They may not be the best examples of pulp storytelling, but they're a good, immediate starting point to capture the feel of the genre.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
