The Spider awards bonus books to attendees


A few weeks ago, we announced Timely/Marvel artist Allen Bellman will be a guest at the Florida edition of Pulp Adventurecon on February 11, 2017. Now here's some more pertinent information ...

The first 50 paying attendees -- on February 11, 2017 in Fort Lauderdale -- will receive their choice of a bonus book, The Spider #5: Empire of Doom, The Spider #7: Serpent of Destruction or The Spider #8: The Mad Horde. Bold Venture Press published these editions over a decade ago, and they remain highly prized collectibles!

The Spider was created in the early 1930s, in the wake of The Shadow's success. Early in the run, Norvell Page (under the house name Grant Stockbridge) gave The Spider's adventures a unique hysterical quality. In many respects, he was the Lethal Weapon of the 1930s.

For newcomers to the world of pulp fiction, this is a great introduction to one of the classic pulp super-heroes. The supplies are limited, so get to the show early!

Be certain to put Pulp Adventurecon on your must-attend list. Dealer tables packed with quality merchandise, much of it pulp magazines, Golden Age comic books and original artwork. You'll also find vintage paperbacks, mens adventure pulps, and quality reprints from various publishers.

Admission is a miserly $5.00 per person. Vendor tables are $45.00 each. Keep checking our website for updates, and for information on our upcoming November show in Bordentown, NJ.
