The name "pulp" comes from the cheap wood pulp paper on which such magazines were printed. Although many respected writers wrote for pulps, the magazines are perhaps best remembered for their lurid and exploitative stories, and for their similarly sensational cover art.
Pulp covers, printed in color on higher-quality paper, were famous for their half-dressed damsels in distress, usually awaiting a rescuing hero. Modern superhero comic books are sometimes considered descendants of  pulp magazines featuring illustrate stories of heroic characters.  Among the best-known titles were Amazing Stories, Black Mask, Dime Detective, Flying Aces, Horror Stories, Marvel Tales, Oriental Stories, Planet Stories, Spicy Detective, Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Unknown and Weird Tales

The Second World War paper shortages had a serious impact on pulp production, starting a steady rise in costs and the decline of the pulps.Decline even more due to the heavy competition from comic books, television, and the paperback novel..
