Not comic books, but when I was in the Army, I read a lot of Mack Bolon books.  Pretty much pulp imo.

Wow, how did I miss this guy?? Looks very good.

Mack Bolan, alias The Executioner, is a fictional character who has been serialized in over six hundred novels. When asked his name and rank in Colorado Kill Zone, he replied, "Bolan, Mack Samuel, Master Sergeant." His weapons of choice are the Beretta 93R which he traditionally carries in a vertical shoulder rig, and "Big Thunder", a stainless steel .44 AutoMag he usually wears on his hip. Though in the later books he adopts a Desert Eagle in the .44 Magnum and in the early books he wielded "Belle", a usually silenced Beretta Brigadier, and a Weatherby Mark V in the .460 Weatherby Magnum.

I blazed through the Mack Bolan series about 20 years ago. Good pulp. IIRC, the books always had a bio on a different weapon on the inside of the back cover.

For comics G.I.Joe was great as well as Punisher, and his War Zone and War Journal.

Some of those limited run Dark Horse ones were good too, especially the Aliens Series's.

For books, read a couple o' the Casca books, pretty cool.  

Does Tom Clancy, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlen, Fredrick Pohl, William Gibson count as pulp?

Clancy's Without Remorse was awesome.  Read it a couple of times, still got it if someone wants to check it out.

I'm not sure.

If it includes comic books from the mid-late 70s;

I didn't miss too many of these (not a fan of the recent movies though)

ETA: The Survior series, dont remember the author, about TEOTWAWKT.

If they do ever let those two movies merge, I hope whoever directed the last Batman movie makes all the decisions.

Wasn't that Jerry Ahern?

I read most of Barry Sadler's Casca the Eternal Mercenary series.  My favorite was where the Aztec High Priest had carved his heart out of his chest, and he reached up and grabbed it, and said "Give me that back!"  

Also the They Call Me The Mercenary series by Axle Kilgore.

Doc Savage, Mac Bolan, Destroyer, all great.

Now have moved on to Tom Clancy, Stephen Hunter, Dale Brown, Stephen Coonts, and Clive Cussler.
