The SM Detective

Before comic books, there were the salacious so-called detective magazines and men's adventure magazines. These were the original, the true pulp fiction masterpieces, before Tarantino came along. On the outside they flashed slick, provocative covers. On the inside, lurid stories, some by now-famous authors, were cranked out on cheap paper.

The pulp phenomenon in the US spanned the 1920s to the 1950s. The ascension of television is believed to have caused the decline in the popularity of the pulps.

I went over to Tanaka Kinichi's event which, for some reason, was held on Saturday this time. But I wasn't alone. I met with rida beforehand and she got the chance to see what Tanaka's subterranean studio/dungeon is all about.

But this evening she was footloose and fancy free and really enjoying her time out and a bit of freedom from her many responsibilities. She didn't stay for the entire event at Tanaka's. She had to get over to Sleeping Beauty because she had told the proprietor, Hajime Kinoko, that she'd be paying a visit.

Things are getting interestinger and interestinger.
