Modern Pulp Heroes A project of Pulp Empire (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Pulp Empire’s second anthology of 2011 will be Modern Pulp Heroes (working title). The book’s concept is simple: invent new or revive classic public domain pulp heroes in the 21st century. Stories should have a heavy heroic bent. We want tales of adventurers, masked men, avengers and crimefighters. Your lead should be larger than life, someone at the peak of human development or even past it. Think characters in the vein of the Spider, the Phantom Detective, the Moon Man or the Black Bat. If your story is just a hard-boiled P.I. or a cop on the beat, we probably don’t want it. If your story spends a bunch of time contemplating the nature of evil, we probably don’t want it. We do want action. We do want excitement. We do want a narrative that takes all the great momentum of a classic pulp and updates it for the 21st century.
