The world of the pulps is past, but the elements that made them great still survive in much of today's pop culture entertainment.
Adventure Strips
Bringing back to life the sort of adventure comics that filled the newspaper funny pages back in the golden age of comic strips. You'll see several pulp-inspired and influenced strips here, including Gary Chaloner's Doc Savage homage, Red Kelso, and the Flash Gordon/John Carter of Mars-influenced Perils on Planet X, and much more.

Clive Cussler & Dirk Pitt
Clive Cussler's series character, Dirk Pitt, usually gets the nod as a contemporary sort of Doc Savage. The Dirk Pitt novels are full of thrills, chills, bad guys, and cool gadgets. And unlike Doc, Dirk isn't afraid of dating lovely women. This site is devoted to Dirk and his creator, whose real-life adventures are the basis for Dirk's undersea work.
