An archive of all-fiction pulpwood magazines from 1896 - 1946

All the covers seem to be low-res unfortunately

See also: http://comicbookplus.com/ for many comics that have gone into public domain. Recently used some cartoon images from there for a presentation in lieu of standard clip-art.

One of the highlights is reading the long-copy advertising on the back covers

I could see pissing away an awful lot of time on this. It's almost like I'd rather wait until I'm 60 to dig in. :-)

There's a bunch of really amazing SF writers mixed into much of the pulp, like Philip K. Dick, Lovecraft, Poe, etc. There seems to be a lack of a large amount of the old serials but a few of them remain.

Weird and annoying: The copyright expired on much of the works, yet some of the archives refuse to display the text on copyright grounds. Take for example "The Variable Man" [1], which Wikipedia [2] claims copyright already expired on due to lack of renewal. So probably a bunch of these issues could be released if they reviewed the records. (Luckily the Gutenberg Project has a copy available [3])
