Well, took advantage of Lulu’s 10% off offer (figured it would take care of shipping) to order several works I’ve been wanting, including 4 Altus titles: Secret Agent X Companion, Purple Wars, Purple Scar, Hooded Detective. Not many Altus titles on Lulu still that I need. I have the original editions of the SAX Companion & Purple Wars, so hope these are an improvement.

We have plans for more Johnston McCulley collections…

In reading thru the intro for “Pulp Detectives”, I’m intriged by the talk of Johnston McCulley’s various pulp heroes. While I know about Zorro, and I know Altus has reprinted The Bat, the rest of them are pretty unknown to me: Crimson Clown, Man in Purple, Thunderbolt, Mongoose, the first Green Ghost, even the villian Black Star.

I’ve read very little about these characters. they seemed popular at the time, but seem more or less forgotten today.

Has anyone thought of reprinting these, more so then one off reprints?

I see that the “Casebook of Seekay” is available in hardback from Lulu, but not yet in paperback. Hope its available soon.

Am awaiting another book from a publisher who uses Lulu, and when that’s out, am thinking of ordering several works on Lulu from them and Altus Press.

I see on Coming Attractions some additional works, like the first of 3 volumes of the Crimson Mask, and the first of I have no idea volume of The Griffon.

Since I like pulp heroes, will get the Crimson Mask. Not a fan of air war titles, so will pass on The Griffon.

Not sure about the “Curse of the Harcourts”. More info on it would help.

I see that several works on this ‘list’ have come out. But not yet the ones I really want.

I’ve heard some things about Blond Adder that make me reconsider getting it (I wasn’t, but now I might).

I look forward to many of these works.

Am almost glad I never bothered to get several of the High Adventure volumes with the Black Bat. Would prefer your Omnibus series.

Wow, I am rejoicing at the prospect of a Black Bat omnibus! You are reading my mind and I’m glad of it. I’m loving the Secret Agent X omnibuses. Thanks for making it possible!

Wow! How many clones do you have, Matt? Surely you can’t be doing all this by yourself! Talk about putting a hundred percent into a venture, you must be putting 150% into Altus Press. But, hey, we’re the ones benefiting from all your hard work, so all we can say, is “Thanks!!!”

Lots of great stuff coming up, and I bet “The Blond Adder” will be another hot property for you! Altus Press continues reprinting some of the best in pulp fiction. 2010 looks to be a banner year. I’m looking forward to some good reading!
