Norvell Page The site is getting a face-lift! Lots will be happening over the next few weeks so check back! For now, the ghost of Norvell Page in the blog! 於 2009/11/7。 檢視更多
Norvell Page had a life as remarkable as his imagination, which, since he was, among other things, the most prolific, influential and popular Pulp Fiction writer of all, is no small statement to make.
Abruptly stopping writing and, for all intents and purposes dissappearing, (insofar as the Pulp world and his fans knew at the time) as mysteriously as one of his characters in 1943, he did not remain in the public eye, though his work unquestionably has remained, through it's enormous influence, familiar to all.
You find heavy over and under-tones of Norvell Page not only in comics and related film/television, but in the work of Frank Miller, Quinten Tarrentino, Mike Mignola, Lucas' Phantom Menace and many, many other places.
Not only was he responsible, through his "Spider" character and other works, for being the first to add depth and complexity to Pulp characters, the first to give the hero a true transformation, (in fact, he often gave them 2 or 3), the first (and still one of the only) to portray female characters as equal crimefighters, the first to combine mystery and horror in Pulps, among numerous other literary distinctions, but a "Bat-man" first appeared in one of his stories and he also created an evil Superman long before Frank Miller brought it to D.C. He heavily influenced the now better-known Shadow character as well.
His influence was tremendous and remains so to this day.
Prior to his pulp career, Norvell was a journalist, often working on crime beats. He didn't dissappear really, though he very much left the impression that he had. He moved back to his native Virginia following the death of his wife in 1943 and, among other things, worked in the Executive Offices of the President on a number of Committees in the Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations.
He died an untimely death in 1961, under rather vauge circumstances around the Bay of Pigs. At the time, he was editor-in-chief for the AEC.

And my Great-Niece and Nephew, who wrote these wonderful tributes to my work. Both were performed this Halloween in Richmond, VA at Gallery 5 and Wonderland.
