Pulp Artists: Charles Sultan
Charles Sultan – Wikipedia
Charles Sultan – GCD
[His] unusual evolution from a Jewish immigrant family in Pre-WWI Brooklyn to a 1930s freelance pulp magazine illustrator, WWII soldier, and then a California publisher of 1960s men’s magazines is curiously parallel to the life story of Milton Luros. It is unlikely that most freelance illustrators of modest income would have been able to finance the acquisition of a publishing company without financial backing from some third-party enterprise. Perhaps such an organization preferred to remain unknown, while using a trustworthy free-lance employee, who happened to have a clean police record, to act as a front man for a company that produced magazines of sexual content in order to avoid the risk of scandalous repercussions for their larger and more family-oriented publications. ~ Charles Sultan – Pulp Artists
