The popularity of pulp novels in the mid-20th century was fueled by diverse sources such as changing mores regarding sex and violence, the influence of more liberal European mass literature and illustration, and still-existing censorship of film and television. To a minor degree, the pulp novel survived into the 1980’s, as seen in this popular cover by Ed Tadiello.
