Western pulp covers usually weren't very humorous, but here's one that's at least a little whimsical, provided by Jim Griffin. The luckless cowboy's bath has been interrupted by bushwhackers. I think the art is by H.W. Scott, although I could be wrong about that. The lead novel in this issue is by the prolific Harry Sinclair Drago, who also wrote as Bliss Lomax (one of the great Western pen-names) and Will Ermine. Later in his career he wrote several volumes of very readable Western non-fiction, such as THE LEGEND-MAKERS.
This cover also appears on the WesternPulps website this week.
For any of you wondering about my absence the past few days, it's been due to some minor health-related problems and an abundance of work. Nothing to worry about, though, and I plan to get back to updating the blog on a more regular basis.

Glad that health issue was minor.
