This site is a companion piece to my Fantastic, Mysterious, and Adventurous Victoriana site, which is a descriptive list of over 700 notable characters and creations from Victorian-era popular literature. (And is now a book, , The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana, published in 2005 by MonkeyBrain Books). With this page I intend to do the same thing, only with the pulp and adventure heroes of the pre-war years. That's pre-World War Two, obviously; this site includes heroes and heroic figures published from, roughly, 1902 to 1939. I'm not going to restrict myself only to the pulps, either, although the many characters from that medium will constitute the majority of the entries on this site. I will be including characters from "respectable" fiction (Ashenden) and comic strips (Phantom) and radio shows and children's fiction (Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew) as well as pulps and adventure fiction. I will not be doing comic book characters of the pre-War years because they deserve a site of their own; there are more than enough of them to merit an entire site all to themselves. (As it happens, I've done that, too: The Golden Age Heroes Directory.)

Because I did my Victoriana site first and was not planning, while I wrote it, to do a pulp heroes site, I added some characters on to the Victoriana site who, properly speaking, don't belong there, as they appeared after Queen Victoria died. Likewise, there may be a few characters on this site who appeared during Victoria's reign and therefore should be on the Victoriana site. I'm not going to move the characters from one site to another, as that would be more work than I'm willing to do. Likewise, there will be some characters here who properly debuted after World War Two started, despite the title of this site. Do I contradict myself or display inconsistencies? I am vast, I contain multitudes. Suffice it to say that if there's a character who should be here and isn't, like Professor Jephtha Jonkin, check the Fantastic Victoriana site.

I am, of course, open to suggestions for characters who should be here and aren't. I've checked those pulp magazines I could get ahold of, made use of my own library and of the Interlibrary Loan facilities of the library I work at, and searched the Web for as much information on as many characters and heroes as I could. But the pulps went on for a long time, and there were many of them, and I am no expert on them. Moreover, there were a lot of books published during the pre-War years that I've missed. And for the most part I've had to rely on secondary and critical sources rather than primary sources for my information. So, if there are characters who particularly deserve entries here and aren't included, please let me know about them. Note that I generally have a distaste for future war scenarios and characters and so am omitting them. Likewise, the characters of the Western dime novels and pulps generally don't interest me, as do sheer fantasy and humorous characters, so I'm leaving most of them out. (Do I contradict myself? I am vast, etc etc etc)

Characters, by the way, can be found by their proper names unless they are better known by a sobriquet, so that Dr. Thorndyke will be found under the Ts and Doc Savage under the Ss, but Captain Future will be found under the Cs and Lady Molly under the Ls. (Again, do I contradict myself or show inconsistencies? So be it, I am vast blah blah blah)

In case you're curious, at last count there were 1770 character entries listed on this site.
