Today in pulp... I look back at '70s Argentinian superspy Namur, a lady who lives her life by the motto "Peligro Supremo!"
Namur is something of a mystery. She's an FBI agent who uses her unique martial arts skills to fight crime. However she always wears a mask to protect her identity.
Namur's boss at the FBI is the equally mysterious 'Taurus' who hides his identity behind a fan. It's such a secretive world fighting crime...
Today in pulp I try to discover what the Bra Of The Future will look like... courtesy of Thrilling Wonder Stories!
Ever since the dawn of time Man has pondered the bra. What will it be like in the future? Will it even be needed?
And one magazine did more pondering than most. Thrilling Wonder Stories not only probed the mysteries of the future, it also tried to guess the evolution of the humble brassiere.
Today in pulp I revisit a mystery of the recent past: did ‘John Titor’ really travel back in time from 2038 to the year 2000 to warn us about an apocalyptic future? And why was he so keen on getting his hands on a 1975 IBM 5100 computer?
Let’s find out...
In 1998, US radio talk-show host Art Bell read out a fax from a man claiming to be from the future. Two years later the same man, calling himself Time_Traveler_0, left similar messages on the Time Travel Instutute’s internet forum.
They told a strange tale…
“Greetings. I am a time traveler from the year 2036. I am on my way home after getting an IBM 5100 computer system from the year 1975.” For the next two years Time_Traveler_0, now calling himself John Titor, would leave many similar messages on internet forums.
