Argosy Magazine Among Copyright Acquisition For Licensing
Pulp Magazine fans will find this news interesting. Steeger Properties, LLC have acquired the copyrights to nearly 150 pulp magazine titles originally published by Popular Publications, Inc and The Frank A. Munsey Company. This is roughly 6,000 issues and 30, 000 stories.
Part of the deal is The Argosy Magazine. Started back in 1896, the magazine published the exploits of such characters as Tarzan and Zorro. Popular Publication also published authors like Raymond Chandler, Ray Bradbury and Erle Stanley Gardner.
Steeger Properties plans to license out the titles/stories as part of their growing catalog.
Though the popularity of the pulps have fluctuated over the years, Dynamite seems to be dong well with characters like The Shadow, The Avenger, Doc Savage and The Phantom. So it would seem that there is some kind of a market out there for these stories. Just how big that market is remains to be seen.
