Classic Pulp #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeClassic Pulp #1 collects the first issue of this 2021 series from Source Point Press, offering a modern take on pulp-style adventure storytelling. The volume kicks off a tale that blends retro genre elements with contemporary comic sensibilities, though specific plot details and creators are not confirmed for this edition.
"The Living Ghost" kicks off with a pulse-pounding mystery: a series of bizarre, violent accidents—train wrecks, stranglings, cars hurled off cliffs—leave investigators baffled. When a man claiming to be Malevo, Satan’s first lieutenant, emerges from the shadows, his search for a queen sets the stage for something far darker than mere coincidence. Written by Frank Belknap Long and illustrated by Fred Guardineer, this atmospheric tale unfolds with a classic pulp edge, its eerie tone perfectly captured in Joshua Werner’s striking cover.
In the shadowed aftermath of a brutal train wreck, Jo finds himself entangled in a mystery that defies reason—bodies thrown like toys, a man strangled by unseen hands, and a sinister force stirring in the dark. When Malevo, Satan’s first lieutenant, awakens with a hunger for a queen, Jo must face a terror that walks between worlds.
