ratmmjess, pardon the squealing, but: DO WANT!!

Jess Nevins (author of The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana and well known for his exhaustive League of Extraordinary Gentlemen annotations) is signing on board to turn his massive librarian brain to the perspective of global pulp. While the pulps in our experience have had a strongly American bent, there was a lot going on in the rest of the world's pulp publication scene, and Strange Tales of the Century will be exploring the entirety of it, unveiling the many strange and exciting character archetypes seen across the planet during pulp's heyday. This will be part game aid, part reference book, acting as an index into at least two decades' worth of the pulps through the lens of the heroes and villains writ large on the page.

Also, Janeane Garofalo at the Drafthouse, April 11-12.
