Today in pulp I look at the scandalous history of lady jeans!

Well there's a turn-up... Image
The denim jean and its predecessor the dungaree have a long history, and were traditionally seen as work wear for men.

But WWII changed all that... Image
As women headed for the factories and shipyards they found that a sturdy denim bib-n-brace, paired with a stout headscarf, was the way to go! Image

As #COVID19 continues to spread you may be wondering how the world of stock photography is reacting to the pandemic.

Well, don't worry: they've brought their A game... Image
Pictures are vital for news stories, and as the press coverage of #coronavirus increases so does the demand for stock photography to illustrate these.

In a sensitive and responsible way of course... Image

Time for a few Hindi heroes from the '70s* and '80s: the first Golden Age of Indian comics!

(*you can tell by the sideburns)
Totan Ka Kahar, from Manoj Comics. He clearly likes playing Doom. A lot...
The original Super Commando Dhruva, from Raj Comics. Yes he can fight robot dogs. No he doesn't know how stairs work.

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

And today I'm looking back at the books of Dorothy Eden.
Dorothy Eden wrote over 40 gothic romances between 1940 and 1982 and remains one of the best known names of the genre.
Must... flee... cats...

Cat's Prey, by Dorothy Eden. Ace Gothic, 1970.

Today in pulp... how the East German Stasi waged war on the Commodore 64!

We'll need to take this story one byte at a time. Komm mit mir...
In the 1980s if you wanted a home computer behind the Iron Curtain you had two choices: buy a locally produced clone of a Western one... Image
...or navigate your way around import controls and try to get a Western one. It was tricky, but it was possible. Image

Today in pulp: what name should you give your pulp vigilante anti-hero? Geoff? Sebastian? Todger?

Well funnily enough there are some rules about this. To learn more come this way...
By the end of the 1960s pulp was growing tired of swinging superspies. Dry martinis, world domination and exotic locations weren't really cutting it any more. The audience was changing.
The darker side of the '60s counterculture was causing quite a moral panic by the decade's end. Hippies, bikers, cultists and radicals were dominating the tabloid mind.
