Saturday Morning Western Pulp: New Western, November 1942


A nice action-oriented cover and a good bunch of authors in this Western pulp from the always dependable Popular Publications: Ed Earl Repp (sure, a lot of his stories were ghosted, but I don't care), veteran pulpsters Frank C. Robertson, Lee E. Wells, Ralph Berard (who was really Victor White), and Bruce Douglas, an author whose work I need to read more of.

How did the horse climb the ladder to the loft?

Damn it Cap'n, why did you have to point that out? Now I can't stop wondering how no one asked this question when the cover painting was submitted for publication.

Great cover but how did the horse get to the loft?

I have seen horses climb stairs (Yankee and Sizzle have both done, it, but a ladder? No way. I'd say the barn was built against a slope, so the back door to the loft is ground level and the horse walked right in. Kind of like my place. The front door is ground level, but it's a LONG drop off the back deck.

That makes perfect sense, Jim.
