Saturday Morning Western Pulp: Leading Western, April 1945


This is the first issue of LEADING WESTERN, a late entry in the Western pulp field from Trojan Publishing Corporation, the outfit behind the Spicy and Speed pulp imprints. I like the cover (I don't know the artist), and there's a strong line-up of authors inside. The lead novella is by L.P. Holmes, and also on hand are Giff Cheshire, Laurence Donovan, Victor Rousseau writing as Lew Merrill, and Tonto Green, author of only a handful of stories, all for the same publisher, which makes me think that might have been a pseudonym or house-name. Either way, the other authors in this issue are enough to make it worth reading.
