EPISODES FROM THE ZERO HOUR! DELIVERS ADVENTURE WITH VOLUME 3
NEW JERSEY – Modern pulp publishers Episodes from the Zero Hour! are proud of their latest installment, Volume Three, featuring globe-trotting adventure with Rex Rockwell, Weird Game Hunter and Mac Samson: The Secrets of the Lost City.
Volume Three, on sale at the Zero Hour! electronic storefront, www.lulu.com/zerohour, also marks the publishers’ first book away from the hard-boiled, neo-noir world of Federal City and its resident Tough Guy for Hire, Tommy “Knuckles” McNichols.
“When Jason and I first imagined Episodes from the Zero Hour!, we never believed that it should be restricted to the hard-boiled stories we featured in Volumes 1 and 2,” said publisher and book designer Anthony Schiavino. “The original pulps ran the gamut from weird fantasy to far-flung science fiction, from tough guy detectives to war heroes and even prototype superheroes. From the beginning, we said we wanted to tell good stories, and didn’t want to be tied down to a specific genre.”
“Volume 3 has been a long time coming, but we think it’s worth the wait,” said author and editor Jason Butkowski. “Rex and Mac are completely different characters from Knuckles, but the stories live up to the standard of good story-telling we strove for with our first two volumes. If you’re looking for a good read that stays true to the sense of adventure from the original pulps, Episodes from the Zero Hour! is your destination for modern pulp.”
Episodes from the Zero Hour! Volume Three contains three tales of adventure featuring Rex Rockwell, Weird Game Hunter, written by Butkowski (author of Episodes from the Zero Hour! Volume One: Featuring Knuckles, Tough Guy for Hire) and illustrated by Rich Woodall (artist of creator-owned comic Johnny Raygun and art director for the ZombieBomb! comic anthology) and three stories featuring Mac Samson: The Secrets of the Lost City, written by newcomer S.E. Dogaru and illustrated by Duane Spurlock (proprietor of The Pulp Rack Web site, www.pulprack.com).
The volume also features the first part of a serialized story, C.T. and the Savage Chimps of Cannibal Mesas, written by Schiavino (creator/writer of the Sgt. Zero independent comic) and Butkowski and illustrated by Dave Flora (artist/writer/creator of independent comic Ghost Zero) and the usual back-ups and special features that Zero Hour! Productions have become known for.
The synopsis for Rex Rockwell, Weird Game Hunter, from the book jacket: Behind the walls of Blaylock Manor, hidden from prying eyes, lies the Evy Rockwell Nature Preserve for the Weird and Unusual, home to some of the strangest animals ever to roam the Earth. Rooted in the myths, folklore and fables of primitive people, these beasts – collected by Rex Rockwell and his band of adventurers – live out their lives, protected from a world that would fear and kill them. Rockwell and his team travel the world, employing the latest technological marvels and ancient mystical relics to discover the undiscovered and protect mankind from threats beyond human understanding.
“Jason’s created a universe where myths come to life, and a team of adventurers protect us for the things that go bump in the night,” said Schiavino. “He takes inspiration from steampunk and gothic fiction, as well as a litany of world folklore and legends, and weaves a cryptid Victorian fantasy that draws you in from page one.”
The synopsis for Mac Samson: The Secrets of the Lost City from the book jacket: Mac Samson’s been a lot of things in his years: hired muscle, treasure hunter, thief, rum runner… but it’s when an exotic women from his past shows up that he gets pulled into the greatest adventure of his life! What secrets does the mysterious journal of Professor Jennings hold?! Why is the Third Reich tirelessly pursuing his lovely companion?! And will Mac survive this pulse-pounding, globetrotting, gun-toting escapade wrought with intrigue, danger, explosion and fearsome air battles to discover the secrets of the Lost City?!
“Stefan has created a reluctant hero who can stand toe-to-toe with the best of the best in terms of pulp and pulp-inspired protagonists,” said Butkowski. “Mac Samson is a tough-talking, two-fisted throwback to an era when the world was in turmoil, and heroes stepped up to do the right thing, whether it was convenient or not.”
Episodes from the Zero Hour! Volume Three is now available at www.lulu.com/zerohour in hardcover for $21.60 and paperback for $14.00. In addition, all three volumes of the Zero Hour! publications will soon be available in eBook format, to bring the best of modern pulp to the latest platforms in book distribution.

But then we came up with Sovereign City.”
The city, so named because of its prime location, having access to any and all a city needs to grow into a metropolis, is as much a character as the three action packed, two fisted concepts the three writers have placed in Sovereign-

To seek out evil in every shadow and hole that Sovereign City has and to save the city some thought would save the world from its own version of Hell. Surrounded by skilled, colorful aides, Lazarus Gray delves into the mysteries of Sovereign as well as his own!
DOC DAYE, 24 HOUR HERO by Tommy Hancock-Born to heroism. Raised for perfection. The Savior of Sovereign City.

PULP 2.0 PRESS UPDATE: 13 September, 2010RADIO WESTERN ADVENTURES TO INCLUDE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN LESTER DENT WESTERN TALE “SNARE SAVVY!”
Los Angeles, CA : Pulp 2.0 Press Mad Pulp Bastard Bill Cunningham announced today that the publisher is adding a never-before-seen Lester Dent tale to its upcoming wild west book release RADIO WESTERN ADVENTURES (RWA). Dent of course is the world-famous pulp writer of the 30’s and 40’s who created the legendary DOC SAVAGE and THE AVENGER pulp characters. This wild west tale, “Snare Savvy” written in 1932 will join Donald F. Glut’s cover tale, “Who Really Was That Masked Man?” to create a western “double feature” tribute to Jim Harmon, the Old Time Radio historian and author, to whom this special book is dedicated.
The contract for “Snare Savvy” was negotiated by the author’s agent, noted pulp writer and historian Will Murray on behalf of the Dent estate. The story is a classic western featuring Dent’s smart alec cowboy character Haw Kain who rides into town and a whole mess of trouble when he goes up against greedy land grabbers looking to strike it rich.
“We are pleased as punch to be able to add Dent’s ‘Snare Savvy’ to Radio Western Adventures,” said Cunningham. “ It makes an already unique book like RWA that much more special to western and pulp fans. As I read it I could easily see Roy Rogers and Dale Evans as the lead characters Haw Kain and Genie Quayle. Their banter matched perfectly, each giving as good as he or she got. I’m ecstatic over the prospect of publishing a pulp master like Dent’s work, and grateful that Will Murray thought Pulp 2.0 would be a good publisher for the tale.”
Radio Western Adventures will be published on Amazon’s Kindle platform for digital reading and will later come out as a print release via Createspace. The Kindle edition will feature both stories as well as an essay tribute to Jim Harmon whose love for radio western heroes was well known amongst fans. This digital edition will also include several photos resurrected from Don Glut’s archives showing the profound influence these radio cowboys had on the author and his peers. Pulp 2.0 Press’s print edition will include all of the above plus even more bonus features exclusive to the print version. Both versions will feature a stunning cover by artist Nik Macaluso (www.scripttease.tv) who created the fantastic blaxploitation cover art for Pulp 2.0’s first release BROTHER BLOOD (also by Glut).

BLACK COAT PRESS ANNOUNCES SEPTEMBER RELEASES!!
Black Coat Press, a publisher known for its international pulp fiction, announces the following releases for September, 2010.
Daniel Diersant drives his Volkswagen up to the factory gates and presents his pass to the guard. Over and over and over, Daniel Diersant drives his Volkswagen up to the gates, in the course of this narrative, only sometimes they are not quite the same gates, nor is the guard the same, nor does the pass read precisely the same, and perhaps the picture on it is of another man's face. But then, Daniel Diersant may be Dr. Robert Holzach from time to time, despite the fact that Dr. Holzach may not have been born yet... Chronolysis is one of the most important French SF novels of the 1970s. It deals with time and its manipulation through the use of chronolytic drugs. Its protagonists are psychronauts, helpless explorers of a confusing, multidimensional universe, facing threats from alternate realities, such as Harry Krupp Hitler 1st, Emperor of the Undetermined, or the mysterious Phords from the future world of Garichankar. They search for secret paradises, hidden within the folds of space and time, away from their bleak realities, such as the tropical realm of Oblivion-by-Ruaba.
This volume also includes a foreword by Theodore Sturgeon, a biography and illustrated bibliography of Jeury and a never-before-published short story translated by Jean-Marc & Randy Lofficier.
A team of spelunkers is found dead in mysterious circumstances in the shadow of the once-proud Cathar redoubt of Montségur, in Southern France. What mysterious treasure were they seeking--and did they find it? A ruthless battle over long-buried secrets is going to pit the Roman Catholic Church against an ancient secret society and descendents of the Nazis who once looked for the Holy Grail in Montségur, with the very future of Humanity at stake...Published in France two years before the world-famous Da Vinci Code, The Song of Montségur is an award-winning, fast-paced supernatural thriller which blends elements from French history with modern-day conspiracies.

PRESS RELEASE –
TALES OF THE BAGMAN
(A New Hero in Old Chicago)
Airship 27 Productions & Cornerstone Book Publishers are happy to announce the release of their thirtieth title, TALES OF THE BAGMAN by B.C. Bell. This book features the debut of a brand new pulp hero, the Bagman, and he’s unlike any other crime buster you’ve ever seen before.
In the 1930s, Chicago was one of the fastest growing metropolises in the country. Situated on mighty Lake Michigan, it was the home to millions of hard working Americans looking to a better themselves. The Windy City was also shackled by its bootleg history, a time of violent gang wars that had permanently established a brutal underworld empire second to none. Corruption was the order of the day and both the police and government were in the pay of the mob bosses.
Frank “Mac” McCullough was a foot-soldier in one of the city’s toughest families until he was ordered to rough up his uncle; a decent man with a gambling problem. The innate decency in Mac rebelled and suddenly he found himself up against the very men he had once admired and followed. Determined to put an end to their lawlessness, he put a bag over his head as a crude disguise only to become labeled the Bagman by the press.
Now writer B.C. Bells tells the amazing stories of old Chicago’s most unique hero. Aided solely by a tough, black WW I veteran named Crankshaft, Mac wages war against the mobs in these fast pace, non-stop action tales pulp fans will cheer. “Bell’s writing is a terrific mix of pulp action and wry humor,” applauds Airship 27 Productions’ Ron Fortier. “It’s really a breath of fresh air in the pulp genre and we know our fans are going to love the Bagman.” Designed by Rob Davis, the book features nine illustrations by Kelly Everaert and a gorgeous cover by Laura Givens. Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to present pulpdom’s newest avenger, THE BAGMAN.
