DOC IS BACK!-ALL PULP NEW PULP BESTSELLER LIST FOR MARCH 11, 2013!

  • News
  • March 11, 2013

 Welcome to the March 11, 2013 installment of All Pulp’s New Pulp Best Seller List, originally created by Barry Reese! Before we get to what you’re all waiting for, here are the rules by which this little list comes together.

1) This list only tracks sales through AMAZON. It does not keep track of sales through Barnes and Noble, face-to-face or anything else!

2)   
This list only tracks PRINT sales. Exactly how Amazon calculates these things is mostly a trade secret and they vary wildly from day to day. If we checked this tomorrow, the list could be very different. This list reflects sales ranks as of Monday morning March 11, 2013.


3) In order to keep the focus on new releases, eligible works must have been published within the last three months. So, since this list is being done on March 11, 2013, we are only looking at books published since December 11, 2012. Please keep that in mind before complaining that Title X is not listed. Also, keep in mind that for the most part, we are tracking sales from smaller and mid level press publishers who actively publish New Pulp material. We won’t generally track sales from Simon and Schuster or places like that — they have the New York Times Bestseller List for that. If one of the major publishers starts doing The Shadow or something, we’ll track that, but some publishers will not be listed here in order to keep the focus on the publishers activelyworking to produce and promote New Pulp.

4)   
Like the name suggests, we’re tracking “New” pulp —not sales rankings for reprints of classic material. In order for something to qualify for this list, it has to be at least 50% new material that has not been printed in bookform before.


5) We are human. If you are aware of a title that should be listed below (keeping in mind all the rules above), please let us know and we will make sure to remedy the situation.


6) This information is garnered mostly from All Pulp, New Pulp, the Pulp Factory mailing list and a few other sites. If you think we might miss yourrelease, let us know in advance — drop All Pulp a line and tell us when it’s being released.

Without further ado, here’s the completely and totally unofficial New Pulp bestseller list as of right now (title, then publisher, then release date, then sales rank):

1)         Doc Savage: Skull Island by Will Murray (Altus Press, February 26, 2013) – 9,255

2)       Sherlock Holmes and the Texas Adventure by Dicky Neely (MX Publishing, December 14, 2012) – 55,070

3)         The Detective, The Woman, and the Winking Tree by Amy Thomas (MX Publishing, January 22, 2013) – 78,832

4)         Monster Earth by Various (Mechanoid Press, January 18, 2013) -82,461

5)         Cadaver Island by Kevin Rodgers (Pro Se Productions, March 6, 2013) – 116,913

6)         Fourteen Western Stories by Lloyd Fonvielle (Lloyd Fonvielle, January 23, 2013) – 249,402

7)         Prohibition by Terrence McCauley (Airship 27 Productions, December 15, 2012) 283,483

8)         Finn’s Golem by Gregg Taylor (Autogyro, January 10, 2013) – 298,810

9) Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective, Volume 4 by Various (Airship 27, January 19, 2012) – 450,526

10) The City of Smoke and Mirrors by Nick C. Piers (Pro Se Productions, February 22, 2013) 499,083

Will Murray’s revival of The Man of Bronze has returned to the top of the list (with the help of a big primate type), a position he and Altus Press will most likely maintain for the book’s entire time of eligibility for the list.  As a character, Sherlock Holmes still has a strong showing on the list, Dicky Neely’s ‘Texas Adventure’ making a huge reentry in its last week.  Another title on its way out this week, Airship 27’s ‘Prohibition’ by Terrence McCauley also holds its own, a consistent performer on the list.  Pro Se makes a top five entry with the debut of Kevin Rodger’s ‘Cadaver Island’, a futuristic horror thriller.
As for publishers this week, Pro Se Productions, Airship 27, and MX Publishing lead the way with two titles each, while Altus Press, Mechanoid Press, Lloyd Fonvielle, and Autogyro each have one title inthe Top Ten.   It’s Monday, folks!  Enjoy this list with your weekly grain of salt!

Although the Ebook list, like the print list of late, is dominated by Holmes, it’s interesting to see another genre making a decent play into the list- The Western.  Nifty Entertainment and Mat Nastos maintains a tight hold on the number 1 spot for a third week in a row with three new publishers making a showing on the list.

MX Publishing and Airship 27 lead the way this week with two books each, with Curiosity Quills, Nifty Entertainment, Lloyd Fonvielle, Autogyro, Virtual Pulp, and Western Fictioneers each getting one notch on their gun belt.  Until next time, readers, remember this list comes with a grain of salt…

Just missing the list were: Monster Earth by Various (Mechanoid Press, January 18, 2013) -1,322,176, The Fangslinger and the Preacher by Bret Lee Hart ( Western Trail Blazer, January 3, 2013) – 1,440,987, Three Against the Stars by Joe Bonadonna (Airship 27, November 26, 2012) – 1,491,938, Pro Se Presents 15 by Various (Pro Se Productions, November 29, 2012) -1,494,161

This is quickly becoming the Holmes list as the top four spots are held by books featuring Conan Doyle’s classic character.  It might be said that recent news concerning suits against the author’s estate may have something to do with that, but it’s much more likely it is simply the popularity of the character. 

The list is fairly soft again this week, but with upcoming releases from Altus, Pro Se, Airship 27 and others in the near future, that is very likely to change.

Pro Se doesn’t appear in the list this week, which may be a first or at least a rarity.   That will most likely change in the near future with the rate at which Pro Se produces new titles.

One notable new entry on the list is ‘Fourteen Western Stories’ by Lloyd Fonvielle, the author of the screenplay for ‘The Mummy’, usually a favorite among New Pulp Fans.

This week, MX Publishing carries four titles in the list, with Airshipfollowing up with two.  Lloyd Fonvielle, Nifty Entertainment, Fight Card, and Autogyro all make the list with one title each. Don’t forget, folks.  This list comes with its own grain of salt and should be taken with same.  

AIRSHIP’S LATEST RELEASE DEBUTS! GHOST BOY!

  • News
  • February 17, 2013

Airship 27 Productions announces the release of their second title for 2013, GHOST BOY. 
The during the 1960s America was locked in a tense Cold War with the Soviet Union, Ian Fleming’s James Bond unleashed a spy craze and the Beatles swept across American shores with their version of new pop-rock and roll.  Meanwhile American comics had entered into the Silver Age with the birth of Marvel Comics.  Every week new titles seem to proliferate drug store magazine racks. 
Now Airship 27 Productions has dug deep into those long forgotten comic vaults to revive Jigsaw Comics’ odd-ball hero, GHOST BOY.  Created in 1964 by writer Art Croxton and artist Ric Sippo, the short lived series starred young Alex Conroy as the top agent of S.O.S (Science Operational Security) who is possessed with strange superhuman abilities. His best friend was an eight foot robot called P.O.P.S (Photoelectric Optimal Protection Sentry). 
Writers Terry Alexander, Micah Harris and Andrew Salmon recapture the fun and magic of this 60s forgotten character and offer up four brand new adventures. As an extra bonus, Ron Fortier and artist Gary Kato recreate the origin tale of GHOST BOY in a special 9 pg strip which kicks off this thrilling collection all gathered under a gorgeous cover by Laura Givens.
Comics fans rejoice, GHOST BOY is back! 
“Actually he never left,” explains Airship 27 Productions’ Managing Editor Ron Fortier with a mischievous grin in his eyes.  “That’s because there never was such a title and this particular project is in reality our homage to those wonky Silver Age comics we all grew up loving.”  Fortier goes on to explain the idea came about when the company looked into adapting an authentic 60s comic series only to discover the property was still under license.  “That’s when we collectively had this idea to make-up our own comic hero from that decade and see if could recapture the odd-ball exuberant charm those books contained.  We will let our readers judge if we’ve succeeded or not.”

3)   In order to keep the focus on new releases, eligible works must have been published within the last three months. So, since this list is being done on February 15, 2013, we are only looking at books published since November 15, 2012. Please keep that in mind before complaining that Title X is not listed. Also, keep in mind that for the most part, we are tracking sales from smaller and mid level press publishers who actively publish New Pulp material. We won’t generally track sales from Simon and Schuster or places like that — they have the New York Times Bestseller List for that. If one of the major publishers starts doing The Shadow or something, we’ll track that, but some publishers will not be listed here in order to keep the focus on the publishers actively working to produce and promote New Pulp.

There’s definitely some shifting of numbers, but Mat Nastos hangs onto the top spot for two weeks in a row with extremely impressive numbers.  New titles enter into the mix, making this list, much like its sibling- The Bestseller Print list- a Holmes list with three titles featuring the classic detective. Terrence McCauley’s Fight Card entry enters the list at number 4, a good showing.   Every book on this list came in under 200,000, so that says quite a bit for how well ebooks sell.  

As far as Publishers are concerned, MX Publishing has two books in the debut EBook list, with Virtual Pulp, Nifty Entertainment, Mechanoid Press, Autogyro, White Rocket, Airship 27, Mike Baron, and Fight Card Books all checking in with one.  But remember, readers, take it all with a grain of salt.

Not so soft a list this week!  That has a bit to do with adding titles to the mix, which we will endeavor to do every week, but it also speaks to a bit of an upswing with one title near the end of its run on the list swinging back into the top ten.  Numbers have shifted and changed for those who survived from last weeks list, but that’s to be expected.

Of note should be that three of our top ten spots have a character in common- Sherlock Holmes.  Holmes is definitely a seller and, as has been pointed out already, we could easily become the Holmes Best Seller List if every book based on the detective was covered here.   But, don’t let that stop you, Best Sellerites!  If you know of a Holmes book from a mid to small press publisher that falls into our time criteria and such, drop us a line at allpulp@yahoo.com and we’ll track it!

This week,  newcomer MX Publishing joins list mainstays Pro Se Productions and Airship 27 with two titles each, with Fight Card, Western Trail Blazer, Nifty Entertainment and Pulp Line each garnering one.   And as always, have a grain of salt with your Monday morning Best Seller List.

If one of the major publishers starts doing The Shadow or something, we’ll track that, but some publishers will not be listed here in order to keep the focus on the publishers actively working to produce and promote New Pulp.

4)   
Like the name suggests, we’re tracking “New” pulp —not sales rankings for reprints of classic material. In order for something to qualify for this list, it has to be at least 50% new material that has not been printed in book form before.


5)    We are human. If you are aware of a title that should be listed below (keeping in mind all the rules above), please let us know and we will make sure to remedy the situation.


6)    This information is garnered mostly from All Pulp, New Pulp, the Pulp Factory mailing list and a few other sites. If you think we might miss your release, let us know in advance — drop All Pulp a line and tell us when it’s being released.

Without further ado, here’s the completely and totally unofficial New Pulp Ebook Bestseller List as of right now (title, then publisher, then release date, then sales rank):

1) The Cestus Concern by Mat Nastos (Nifty Entertainment, December 28,2012) 2.138

2) Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective, Volume 4 by Various (Airship 27, January 19, 2012) – 59,826

3) Monster Earth by Various (Mechanoid Press, January 13, 2013- 60,940

4) Finn’s Golem by Gregg Taylor (Autogyro, January 10, 2013) -83,562

5) Legion I- Lords of Fire (The Shattering) by Van Allen Plexico (White Rocket Books, January 26, 2013) – 86,910

6) The Studio Specter by W. Peter Miller (Uchronic Books, January 5, 2013) – 108,769

7) The New Adventures of the Griffon by Various (Pro Se Productions, January 17, 2013) – 133,360

8) Sentinels: Metalgod by Van Plexico (White Rocket Books, December 10, 2012) – 155,489

9) Tier Zero by Henry Brown ( Virtual Pulp, January 13, 2013) – 276,126

10) Prohibition by Terrence McCauley, (Airship 27, December 15, 2012) – 279,713

Just missing the list were: Whack Job by Mike Baron (December 25, 2012)-339,703, Fight Card: Irish Dukes by Mike Faricy (Fight Card Books, November 12, 2012) – 399,113, Fight Card : The Knockout by Robert J. Randisi (Fight Card Books, December 1, 2012) – 402,303, Fight Card: Rumble in the Jungle by David Foster (Fight Card Books, January 8, 2013) – 472,411, The Fangslinger and the Preacher by Bret Lee Hart (Western Trail Blazer, January 3, 2013) – 410,666.

Being the first list, not a lot of commentary or history to track here.  Mat Nastos makes a fine showing in the top 2200 of all Kindle sales and our #10 comes in under 300,000, so the Kindle list definitely moves differently than Print, which is what creators and writers and publishers have been noticing for a while-Ebooks sell. 

As far as Publishers are concerned, White Rocket Books and Airship 27 each have two books in the debut EBook list, with Pro Se, Virtual Pulp, Nifty Entertainment, Mechanoid Press, Uchronic Books, and Autogyro all checking in with one.  But remember, readers, take it all with a grain of salt.
