Time once again for my occasional series "Women with great hair fleeing gothic houses!"

And today It's an open thread. Ask me anything you like about this popular pastime and I'll do my best to answer it below for the next hour.

Over to you... Image
One frequent question I'm asked is "do I need long hair to flee a gothic house?" The answer is no; many short-haired heroines have vacated gothic domiciles in the past. However most have worn evening gloves whilst doing it. ImageImage
"Am I in the UK?" Yes I am.

"Do I own all these books?" Alas no. I have about 90 or so gothic romances but I have sold many more. I used to work in the book trade and these things went like hot cakes! Image

Happy #DoctorWhoDay everybody! The show is 57 years old today, and as this is a pulp account there really is only one way I can mark the occasion...

Let's look back at the New Adventures! #MondayMotivaton
In 1989 the BBC killed off #DoctorWho. The corporation said the series was being 'rested'; the fans suspected it was dead as an Adric. But an unlikely saviour emerged to carry Who through the wilderness years: Richard Branson.
Both Michael Grade and Jonathan Powell, BBC Directors in the 1980s, disliked Doctor Who. They felt it was outdated, violent and cheap-looking. Ratings were awful, exacerbated by terrible scheduling. Relations with producer John Nathan-Turner had also hit rock bottom.

Today in pulp... I look back at the wonderful pulp art of Johnny Bruck! #TuesdayThoughts
Johnny Bruck was one of the most prolific illustrators in science fiction. He painted over 6,000 covers during his career, as well as many interior illustrations. The vast majority were for one title: Perry Rhodan.
Johnny Bruck was born in hamburg in 1921 and spent his younger years in England learning his craft, before travelling around the world.

Today in pulp I look back at the fonts of 1975!

I know that's the content you come here for... #FridayFeeling
Now I know what you're thinking: 1975? Surely that was wall to wall Bookman Swash!

Well not quite...
We all know that the books of '75 were fond of a cursive font. Goudy Fancy was all the rage and even Cooper Black got a bit swashy.

But many new typefaces were starting to appear too....
