Though often overlooked by popular culturalists, sports were one of the staples of the pulp scene; such standards as the \u003ci\u003eNational Police Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAll-Story\u003c\/i\u003e carried some sports stories, and several publications, such as \u003ci\u003eSport Story Magazine, \u003c\/i\u003e were entirely devoted to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e An overview of the pulps is followed by an examination of those devoted to sports: how they came into being, the development of the genre, the popularity of its heroes, and coverage of real-life events. The roles of editors, writers, artists, and publishers are then fully covered. A chapter on Street \u0026amp; Smith, the foremost publisher of sports pulps, follows, while a concluding chapter discusses the reasons for the demise of the pulps in the early 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Dinan\u003c\/b\u003e has written extensively on pulp magazines in such publications as \u003ci\u003eFangoria\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBaseball America.\u003c\/i\u003e He lives in Topsfield, Massachusetts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52711332086067,"sku":"9780786440474","price":60.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/YMAwouEe719780786440474.webp?v=1763513939","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/sports-in-the-pulp-magazines-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
