"fiction comic strip, Flash Gordon, appeared in" The link goes to an article about the character. How about something like "fiction comic strip following the adventures of superhero [or whatever] Flash Gordon appeared in"
Maybe I'm showing my ignorance here, but you mention both Harold Hersey and C.J.H. Publishing Co. as the publisher; which was it?
Bleiler gives the publisher as "C.J.H. Publications", with the officers listed as Hersey and Lloyd Jacquet, the assistant editor. I'd guess a third person whose last name began with C was involved, but Hersey was president and Bleiler refers to Hersey rather than C.J.H. when he discusses the magazine's publisher. I interpret this to mean that it was Hersey's company and that C.J.H. and Hersey can be used interchangeably. I only mention C.J.H. in the biblio section, following Bleiler, but I do say there that Hersey was the president. Does this need more clarification?

"facsimile" worth linking? Who was the publisher of the book?
A couple of potentially useful hits on Google Scholar.
First, taken from pp. 87-8 of
this book says: The IP I'm currently posting from is blocked from TinyPic...
"... published one issue of Flash Gordon. The story: "The Master of Mars", written by James Edison Northfield. Illustrated by Fred Meagher. The cover depicts Flash Gordon, Dr. Zarkov, and Dale Arden standing on what appears to be a high rise of ground overlooking a city of the future. // Dale Arden was the young, beautiful, vivacious girl who followed Flash as he searched for adventure. Like many others [end of p. 87] before her, she kept Flash pretty busy watching out for her well being. // The scene depicted in an illustration as taken from the novel has Flash standing alone in the arena facing a strage-looking creature called a Pyehocra. // This issue is considered very rare, highly prized, and expensive. The one issue I happened to see was in the hands of a California collector, a good friend of many years."
Good stuff, as ever. Please double-check my small changes. A thought occurs: Perhaps you could organise the pulp fiction navbox based around the decade of original publication? That would stop it being a simple alphabetical list, and allow readers to gain at least some context at a glance.

I've thought about this several times and have not been able to come up with a good organizational scheme. There are a couple of problems with a decade based approach. For one thing, at least one article covers multiple magazines, not all of which began in the same decade --
Wonder Stories is the one I'm thinking of. Then some magazines had their main influence in a decade other than the one they were founded in:
Astounding Science Fiction, for example. And when a magazine lasts over eighty years, it seems wrong to categorize it as a 1930s magazine.
I plan to write a
Science fiction pulp magazines article as the main topic article for these, in order to create a featured topic. When I do that I will try to find a way to organize the narrative, perhaps with tables of publishers and magazines, that shows the reader the evolution of the genre. Maybe later this year. I still have three more articles to work on before then, though.
