Though often overlooked by popular culturalists, sports were one of the staples of the pulp scene; such standards as the \u003ci\u003eNational Police Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAll-Story\u003c\/i\u003e carried some sports stories, and several publications, such as \u003ci\u003eSport Story Magazine,\u003c\/i\u003e were entirely devoted to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   An overview of the pulps is followed by an examination of those devoted to sports: how they came into being, the development of the genre, the popularity of its heroes, and coverage of real-life events. The roles of editors, writers, artists, and publishers are then fully covered. A chapter on Street \u0026amp; Smith, the foremost publisher of sports pulps, follows, while a concluding chapter discusses the reasons for the demise of the pulps in the early 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231638245720,"sku":"9780786440474","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786440474_53e4b136-35d0-4aec-8265-84f10f59cb6e.jpg?v=1764495039","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sports-in-the-pulp-magazines","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
