Out of this World Adventures, July 1950

Description

Developed in the 1890s and lasting into the 1950s, the "pulp" magazine (called pulp due to the kind of paper used) format was a low-cost means of delivering fiction short stories to the masses. In many ways, the pulp magazine was a predecessor to the comic book of today and several famous comic book heroes got their start in pulp magazines. Out of this World Adventures was published by Avon books, an imprint of Harper Collins. It contained a mix of several stories with about 30 pages of full-color comics. The pulp only had 2 issues, with releases in July and December of 1950. This July issue contains the following stories: The Planet-Smashers by Ray Cummings Letter from the Stars by A. E. Van Vogt Omega and the Wolf Girl by Lester del Rey The Puzzle of Priipiirii by William Tenn The Shipwrecked Boogeyman by Lloyd Williams Terror of the Mist Maidens by A.
