Pulp International - Darwination+Scans

Apr 10 2023

If you like old magazines the next selection is natural.

Darwination Scans, an amazing website that collected and preserved pulp and pop culture magazines and made high resolution scans available for download, is active again after years of being idle. The site runner Beau dropped us a line and the basic sentiment was that real life ate up most of his time for a while. But he's returned to the paper chase with plans to tidy up his site and offer all sorts of new material. If you've spent a lot of time here on Pulp Intl. you know we've mentioned Darwination often, and used scans from there on days when we were at a loss for something to post. The place is a treasure trove. If you haven't visited, we recommend having a look.
