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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dinan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786440473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786440474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"John Dinan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47036564340991,"sku":"9780786440474","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_360e454c-3b54-47b0-ba32-af7030fc6fbf.jpg?v=1752637957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sports-in-the-pulp-magazines-john-dinan-9780786440474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
