Create Your Own Pulp Magazine Cover

Sometimes we stumble on a Web site and end up wasting far too much time checking it out. We call it “reviewing” but sometimes it’s just playing. But all work and no play… you know.

First, I wasn’t sure what a pulp magazine was – they stopped publishing them in the 1950s. And I’m old, but I was very young in the 1950s. When I saw samples of them, I vaguely remembered them. So for those of you who don’t know what a pulp magazine is (was) here’s a simple definition from Wikipedia:

Pulp magazines (often referred to as “the pulps”) were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the late 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called “glossies” or “slicks”.

We found a site called PULP-O-MIZER where you can design your own pulp magazine cover. Why would you want to? I don’t know why! All I can tell you it’s a lot of fun to explore all the different styles, backgrounds, pictures, font styles, colors, and so on.. and create a pulp magazine cover. What do you do with it?
