The first issue of a pulp that lasted for only five issues under this title. Something seems a little off about this cover to me, but the copy really sums up what the general fiction pulps were about: "A Western, Air, Mystery, War, Adventure, Fight, Sea, and Action Story in Every Issue". There's a fine line-up of writers in this one, including long-time pulpsters Victor Rousseau and Charles B. Stilson, Eustace L. Adams, who was a regular in ARGOSY a few years later, and Nels Leroy Jorgensen, best known for his Westerns but the author of a jungle adventure in this one.

RED BLOODED STORIES is one of the rare short lived pulps that are worth alot of money at auction. Prices go into the hundreds of dollars. Really nice copies are probably worth a thousand each.
The cover design is unusually "modern" for a 1920s magazine...a fuller detailing of the contents wrapped around an unobstructed view of a relatively subtle cover painting would have me guessing 1956 or 1963 if one hid the cover date...
