Pulp Tapestries
Description: Inspired by the success of Hugo Gernsback's Amazing Stories, Clayton Publishing Co. released, in January of 1930, the first issue of Astounding Stories. Early issues lacked much of Gernsback's attention to the scientific and extrapolative possibilities of the SF genre, and instead featured many instances of stock, pulp adventure yarns simply transplanted into exotic or alien environments. While possibly a travesty in the eyes of SF purists, it attracted many SF fans and general pulp readers, and aided Astounding's first three years of survival, until its cancellation during the height of the Great Depression in March of 1933.
Description: Astonishing Stories was an American pulp science fiction magazine, published by Popular Publications between 1940 and 1943. It was founded under Popular's "Fictioneers" imprint, which paid lower rates than Popular's other magazines. The magazine's first editor was Frederik Pohl, who also edited a companion publication, Super Science Stories. After nine issues Pohl was replaced by Alden H. Norton, who subsequently rehired Pohl as an assistant. The budget for Astonishing was very low, which made it difficult to acquire good fiction, but through his membership in the Futurians, a group of young science fiction fans and aspiring writers, Pohl was able to find material to fill the early issues.

Description: Fantastic Novels was an American science fiction and fantasy pulp magazine published by the Munsey Company of New York from 1940 to 1941, and again by Popular Publications, also of New York, from 1948 to 1951. It was a companion to Famous Fantastic Mysteries. Like that magazine, it mostly reprinted science fiction and fantasy classics from earlier decades, such as novels by A. Merritt, George Allan England, and Victor Rousseau, though it occasionally published reprints of more recent work, such as Earth's Last Citadel, by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore.
Description: Big Kahuna Burger is a fictional chain of Hawaiian-themed fast food restaurants that has appeared in movies including Death Proof, Four Rooms, Pulp Fiction, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, and Reservoir Dogs. The most notable appearance of the chain has got to be when Jules and Vincent pay a visit to Brett, leading to Jules absconding with Brett's Big Kahuna Burger. "Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger. Vincent, ever have a Big Kahuna Burger?" This version of the Big Kahuna Burger t-shirt features a realistic looking screen print style imprint with heavy distressing and a little fade to make it look like you got back in the 80s.
