With the very gracious permission of Will Murray and Doug Ellis, I'm excited and pleased to present this interview with pulp fictioneer Ryerson Johnson. Johnson was Guest of Honor at PulpCon 19, and Murray interviewed him as one of the convention's events. Ellis, publisher of the fanzine Pulp Vault -- perhaps better known now as one of the organizers of the Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention -- published the transcribed interview in issue number 8 of that fine publication.
With their permission, The Pulp Rack presents this interview in two parts. For those who enjoyed the pulp-writer name dropping in Paul Malmont's novel, The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril, you'll find similar treasure here, as Johnson discusses Lester Dent, Arthur Burks, L. Ron Hubbard, and more.
The interview is presented as a PDF scan of the original appearance in Pulp Vault's pages. For that reason, the break between the two sections isn't perfect -- is, in fact, a bit of a cliff hanger. But perhaps that's appropriate for an interview with a writer who specialized in exciting pulp adventure.
