PulpFest 2010 will take place July 30 - August 1, 2010 in Columbus, Ohio. Continuing the proud tradition of a summer pulp convention, now in its 39th year,
PulpFest is a new and improved version of the venerable convention for fans and collectors of vintage popular fiction and related material.
Following the resounding success of the inaugural
PulpFest, the 2010 convention will be bigger and better. Sellers of pulp magazines, digests, vintage paperbacks, and other paper collectibles will find a larger dealers' room, while thos members of the evening presentations will be able to enjoy an expanded programming area.
This year's guest of honor will be the award-winning author, editor, screenwriter, poet, and biographer, William F. Nolan. He is a leading authority on pulp writers Max Brand and Dashiell Hammett, as well as an authority on
Black Mask Magazine. This year's convention will be saluting both the 90th anniversary of
Black Mask and the 90th anniversary of Max Brand's (one of the many pseudonyms of Frederick Faust) first appearance in
Western Story Magazine.
The prolific Robert Randisi will also be appearing at the convention.
