Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Top-Notch, February 1934


TOP-NOTCH published some good adventure fiction, had good authors and good covers like this one by Don Hewitt. It's not as well-remembered as some of the other adventure pulps, but from what I can tell, it was a pretty solid magazine. This issue includes stories by Steve Fisher, Leslie McFarlane (the original Franklin W. Dixon of Hardy Boys fame), Hal Field Leslie, Harold F. Cruickshank, C.T. Stoneham, and assorted lesser-known authors. I'd have been tempted by that cover if I had an extra dime and nickel in my pocket back in 1934.

Thirty-four issues of TOP NOTCH magazine can be read online or downloaded as a .pdf file at http://www.luminist.org/archives/PU/ 1910 to May 1934 sorry, not Feb 1934.
ALL pulp magazines and digests are listed alphabetically, so you must scroll down, down, down to Topnotch.
