Captain Zero eBook
#2 January 1950

Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.

Captain Zero premiered in November 1949, and had the dubious distinction of being the last of the single-character hero pulps. Captain Zero was a fabulous character whose strange and deadly career began each midnight at the stroke of twelve — and ended each gray dawn with the first rays of the sun. During those few hours, he became completely invisible! But even that wonderous feat wasn't enough to save the pulp magazine. It ended after only three issues. Now, once again, you will experience the reading thrills in the adventures of this amazing, yet compellingly human, character of fiction... the Master of Midnight, Captain Zero... as he returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
