Age of Aces Books is a publisher of lost pulp fiction treasures with a keen eye for design. The company published its first book in 2007, but its roots go back another ten years. That’s when Bill Mann and the Kalb brothers, Chris and David, originally bonded over a shared love of pulp fiction at the venerable gathering of collectors known as PulpCon. Over the years they watched as a number of their fellow collectors made rare stories available in reprint editions, and eventually Bill decided that’s what he’d like to do — focusing initially on the aviation stories he loved. Though he had collected piles of material, and he actually enjoyed scanning-in the stories and proofing them, Bill didn’t really have a clue about how to turn his text into a book. Not a problem. Chris and David were eager to get in on the action and quickly came on board as designers. Together they’ve published an impressive number of books in just a few years, and even branched out into more earth-bound characters like Sheridan Doome and The Spider.
