The Pulp Net
Everything you ever wanted to know about pulp fiction

Pulp and Adventure Heroes of the Pre-War Years
Jess Nevins' pulp site lists almost every pulp character that ever appeared before World War II. Also check his excellent Victoriana and comic book sites. How he manages to keep them all updated is beyond me?

s1ngularity
Gabe Chouinard's cutting edge e-zine offers the very finest in speculative fiction and criticism.

Fantastic Metropolis
Despite the recent editorial shake-ups and change in direction, this is still great site. Their tagline "Like no place else" is certainly accurate.

[dead cities] online
Gabe Chouinard's site collects his reviews and essays on speculative fiction.

Avant Pulp
A brand-new e-zine that looks very promising.

[dead cities] version 3
Much like the old [dead cities], but avoiding that stupid Delphi pay scheme

Fiction Inferno
One of the best e-zines for speculative fiction on the web.

Comic Links:

Comicbook Resources
As the name says, this site offers lots of resources for comic fans. Regular columns, a huge link database and more. The largest English language comic site on the net.

Sequential Tart
A very informative webzine about comics, created and maintained solely by women.

Next Comics
There are lots of online comics, this site had some of the best.
