Was looking for a set of youth books figures the other day and couldnt find them – got me to thinking What youth Heroes would make great Pulp Adventures for both the younger and aging generations Perhaps Ted Scott Hardy Boys Biggles WHo else would you add? |

Tintin, and the whole crew, has already been done in a somewhat post apocalyptic way by Lead Adventure Miniatures. If you're doing Hardy Boys, you have to include Nancy Drew. |

There are lots of forgotten ones from the early 20th Century--The Radio Boys,the Air Service Boys,etc. One from the Pulp era proper was Stratosphere Jim and his Flying Fortress:
His plane contained hangers for fighters in the wings:
I wasn't aware of the comics,but came across the 1941 book when I was twelve or so:
In which Jim and his valiant crew flew to Europe,and,(perhaps because the US State Department still frowned on explicit anti-Nazi messages) fought the "Caucasians". Though he looked pretty Caucasian himself! |
