With Pulp, set for release on July 29 via Image Comics, writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips dug into a relatively unexplored aspect of those old westerns. Browse through the cheaply printed pages and you might find a mysterious stranger riding into a forgotten, broken-down town, only to rescue its inhabitants from any number of thieves, murderers, and bandits. But for a long time, if you were reading pulps, it typically meant you were reading stories of heroism and villainy in the Old West.
Pulp magazines, popular around the turn of the 20th century through the 1950s, ran the gamut from gory horror to romance to superhero tales and back again.
Before there were comic books there were pulps.
