Pulp characters travel to all parts of the World (and beyond). To get there, they have employed every sort of vehicle from Airships to Zebecs. So, what is the last word in travel for a pulp hero?

Let me start the bidding with:

The Submarine! This mighty warship can sail anywhere there is deep water; she can launch secret missions, effect daring rescues, and attack anything afloat. She was good enough for Captain Nemo and Tom Swift. So, what do you think?

Invisible aeroplane. So easy to draw….

Coelacanth23 May 2013 6:18 a.m. PST

Yeah, you can pretty much draw Wonder Woman sitting down.

That looks like the adventures of Danaerys von Targaryean.

Since we can't all have an invisible aeroplane, I might suggest a zeppelin.

jpattern223 May 2013 7:36 a.m. PST

Private seaplane or flying boat. Can land or take off pretty much anywhere there's water. And faster than a sub or zep.

I gotta go with a classic…
Grumman Goose.

If its good enough for Tales of the Gold Monkey, its good enough for me.

And it could land on one of these too…

Air travel for me…

And the characters could do the Indiana Jones theme with a red line across a map while flying.

A Grumman Goose that can take off and land vertically.

Phil McCrackin23 May 2013 8:45 a.m. PST

A Grumman Goose that can take off and land vertically, AND submerge like a submarine….

Simcoe 200023 May 2013 9:00 a.m. PST

Ahh! That would be the Grumman merganser!

M C MonkeyDew23 May 2013 10:50 a.m. PST

Gyrocopters for short hauls…or long hauls if you irrationalize the fuel use : )

J Womack 9423 May 2013 12:28 p.m. PST

Atomic gyrocopters.

Supersonic Zeppelins.

I forgot to include a credit for the artwork I used. That Amazing Stories cover was by Frank R. Paul (1884-1963).

Flash Gordon's Rocket Ship.

You can't bid on Wonder Woman's invisible plane. She's a comic book character, not a pulp magazine character.

I like this ride I worked up for the Heiress;
