That was more fun than I thought it was going to be...huh.

And that bonus I was talking about.
What if I told you the the spy group U.N.C.L.E. existed in 1937. You would laugh. Until I showed you this nifty (yeah, i used nifty in a sentence, you got a problem?) little tale from the G-Men August 1937 issue.
the story in called Enemies of UNCLE. but why should i go on when you can read it at: http://pulpgen.com/pulp/downloads/getpdf.php?id=381
Have Fun and Think About it!

  1. Nice blog, glad to see the younger generation reading (and across a wide range of genres too! good work :)
    Question though, why did you close the poll? I just saw it, would have voted other (since I prefer Robert E. Howard's Conan or Donald Wandrei's I. V. Frost to the other characters) but hopefully you'll post another poll on something pulp or reading related soon.
    Best,
    Steve Harbin
