A Loveletter to a Truly American Art Form
27 December 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This charming 1 hour doc will delight anyone interested in graphic illustration, history or the literary arts. Basic background information about the rise, effect and fall of pulp magazines is well-depicted along with some occasionally fascinating archive footage. In particular a home movie interview with Norman Saunders that will leave you an emotional wreck with its honesty and rare Desoto footage that speaks volumes in a two minute clip.

Like any low-budget doc there are some mild technical concerns but generally this 'fact based' documentary hits right on the mark as a pulp art primer and a love letter to a truly American art form. 9 out of 10.
