Description: PulpFest 2012 continues the proud tradition of a summer pulp con, now entering its 41st year. PulpFest is the summertime destination for fans and collectors of vintage popular fiction and related materials. It will be held at a new venue, the Hyatt Regency in downtown Columbus, Ohio. It will begin on Thursday evening, August 9th and continue until Sunday afternoon, August 12th. There will be more than 100 tables of pulps, books, vintage comics, original art, B-movies and serials, and similar items available for sale, daily from 9 AM until 5 PM. The evening hours, from 7 PM until midnight, will see a variety of programming.

2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of Edgar Rice Burroughs' UNDER THE MOONS OF MARS, recently adapted as JOHN CARTER, a major motion picture from Disney. Robert E. Howard's Conan the barbarian will also be 80 years old in 2012. PulpFest will be celebrating both of these occasions during their evening programming. The award-winning science-fiction writer and noted Burroughs authority, Mike Resnick, will be appearing as the convention's guest of honor. Author readings and an art show featuring work by illustrators Jim and Ruth Keegan and possibly, Mark Schultz, will also take place at the convention.

The contact phone number for the hotel is 1-614-463-1234. Be sure to mention PulpFest 2012 when booking a room to get the convention rate. Hotel reservations can also be through the convention's website through a dedicated link to the Hyatt Regency Columbus.
