When my Encyclopedia of Pulp Heroes comes out I hope to open
some eyes--not those on this list, obviously, but out
there--on the amount and quality of work that authors like
Plummer and Coxe did. There's so much great stuff published
before 1945...I long for the day when it all clears copyright
and can be put online. Alternatively, when estates stop
having inflated estimations of their authors' worth and allow
reprints to be done without extortionate fees beforehand.
Naming no manes, of course.
