Pulp Hero Press is not just a publisher of pulp fiction (and non-fiction): we have a lot of those books, and we like them, but we have plenty more, too. Comics, gaming, and film, for example. And genre fiction (and non-fiction about genre fiction). And boxing. There’s even some rock-and-roll. It’d make more sense if we had called ourselves Pop Culture Press, but it was taken. Besides, we’ve grown partial to the square-jawed pulp hero in our logo.
Ken Norton, the Black Hercules, was an American professional heavyweight boxer who competed between 1967 and 1981. He had a trio of fights with Muhammad Ali, winning the first by split decision (and breaking Ali’s jaw in the process), losing the second by split decision, and losing the third by unanimous decision. He scored 42 wins in his career, 33 of them by knockout.
