The Dr. is good, but if you can find any of these reprints:

THIS doctor is always a good read.

I'm reading several of these for my independant study this semester.

Nostalgia Ventures is publishing nice reprints of the original Doc Savage and The Shadow magazines.

I picked up a few on sale at Borders for $5.

Doc Savage, The Shadow, The avenger, Operator 5, they're all good reads, but my personal favorite is The Spider. He gives a whole new meaning to "over the top." All of these are available as reprints in many forms over the years.

I've been gobbling up the 'Mega-Packs' on Kindle for a few months now and there's a vast amount of pulp collections on there for pence. I started off with the complete 'Bulldog Drummond' collection and now it keeps recommending other pulp stuff to me, which I inevitably take, since it's always less than 50p for a huge amount of fiction.

You might consider "Mark of the Lion" by Suzanne Arruda. This is the start of a recent series. The protagonist is a woman from New Mexico named Jade del Cameron who drives an ambulance during WW1 and then travels to British East Africa after the war. There's a bit of mystery, treasure, romance, adventure, and the supernatural involved. It's a bit pulpy in a modern way.

Orctrader, thanks for the suggestion of John Buchan's Greenmantle. I found it in a public library and I'm reading it now. Writing style is a bit dated, but the spy adventure across Europe in the middle of WW1 is pretty interesting so far.

Shanghai Station by Bartle Bull is another book that I checked that one out of my local public library. Ex-pat White Russians in Shanghai in 1917 and after has to be a good topic:

Master of Rain by Tom Bradby is another book about White Russians in Shanghai that I want to check out:

Master of Rain is an excellent book. I wouldn't call it pulp, though - it's more espionage/intrigue. That said, I highly recommend it.

If you go for Fu Manchu, skip the first book. It is three short stories strung together.
