The Golden Gazette News offers up an interview with Patrick Scott Belk about The Pulp Magazines Project, his open-access all-fiction pulp magazine archive (1896-1946):

During the 1930s—the decade which is generally considered the heyday, or the golden age, of pulp magazines—there were around 1,000 different pulp titles published. Some of these lasted for only a few issues, like Zeppelin Stories (1929), Gangland Stories (1930-32), and The Mysterious Wu Fang (1935-36); others lasted for just a single issue, like The Octopus (1939) and The Scorpion (1939).
