AVIS Proprietor Bill Denton and the Pulp Show encounter
<< The hardboiled pulps at the show could get pretty
expensive, with the interesting BLACK MASKS costing the
most--far beyond what I could every pay, especially if I
wanted a collection of more than a miniscule size. I picked
up half a dozen copies of ARGOSY from the '20s and '30s. Did
they published much hardboiled stuff, or did HB writers
publish in it

Woolrich and Erle Stanley Gardner showed up in ARGOSY, as did
Lester Dent, but Dent's stuff there isn't quite in the same
league with the stuff he had in BLACK MASK. Others we would
recognize showed up there from time to time. As a general
interest pulp, ARGOSY didn't focus so much on HB crime,
although crime stories ran there. I think ESG's "Whispering
Sands" stories first ran there.
