The last few
years of its existence, STAR WESTERN rather blatantly went after the RANCH
ROMANCES readers. Not only do all the covers prominently feature female
characters, most of the story titles do, too, such as this issue from January
1950. You've got "The Strip's Too Hot for Blondes!" by Leslie
Ernenwein, "Girl Strike in Jubilee" by Joseph Chadwick, "Bride
of the Killer Legion" by Talmage Powell, "The Queen, the Wench, and
the Devil" by Ray Townsend, "Two Roses for Dead Man's Range" by
Dean Owen (Dudley Dean McGaughey), "Girl for a Fighting Man" by
Everett M. Webber, and "Brand Her Señorita Killer!" by John Jo
Carpenter (John Reese). With those authors, I'll bet most of those stories are
pretty good!
