Saturday Morning Western Pulp: Dime Western Magazine, December 15, 1934

Replace one of the Stalwart Heroes (probably the guy in the red shirt) with a Wounded Old Geezer, and you'd have another instance of the trio that shows up on so many Western pulp covers. We've certainly got the Angry, Gun-Totin' Redhead, although I question her aim a little bit. I think this cover is by either Walter Baumhofer or Tom Lovell, but as always, I could certainly be wrong about that. As usual, DIME WESTERN has some great authors in its pages: Walt Coburn, W.C. Tuttle, Harry F. Olmsted writing as Bart Cassidy with one of his Tensleep Maxon stories, Ray Nafziger, Robert E. Mahaffey, and C.K. Shaw. The C.K. stands for Chloe Kathleen, by the way. Shaw was one of the relatively few female authors to contribute prolifically to the Western pulps. My impression is that Tuttle didn't appear very often in Popular Publications pulps, but I could be wrong about that, too. At any rate, this appears to be a fine issue.
