"[Pulps were] a widespread source of affordable fiction in the first half of the 20th
century. They were essentially regular periodicals printed on cheap
paper (hence "pulp") featuring original text stories, in contrast to the
slick magazines printed on higher grade paper.
"Inside these mags were stories of almost every genre possible depending on a particular magazine's focus. While the Action Adventure series in the spirit of Indiana Jones and Tarzan and proto-Super Hero (like The Shadow or Doc Savage) series are best remembered today, there were vast varieties like science fiction (like Amazing Stories), crime & detective (like Black Mask), horror (H.P. Lovecraft's stories) romance and many others."
