ART & HISTORY OF AMERICAN POPULAR FICTION SERIES Vol 1
By Joseph Rainone.
This traces the roots of popular fiction, particularly science fiction, with special emphasis on The Frank Reade Weekly. Originally derived from serialized story papers, these illustrated versions, with fantastic stories and inventions were part of the dime novel age of the late 1800s. This reproduces all 96 covers of the Frank Reade Weekly, and over 400 images of other publications. The Steam-Man from 1868 is covered as this invention led to an initial interest in science fiction. This also covers other dime novels such as The Boys of New York, The Fireside Companion, The Saturday Night, The New York Weekly, Golden Hours, Happy Days and others. Great images including flying airships, aliens, space ships, strange creatures and more.
