Saturday Morning Western Pulp: Famous Western, Summer 1942


I don't own this issue of FAMOUS WESTERN, so I haven't read it. But I like the cover, which is credited on the Fictionmags Index to someone named Cooper, who did only a couple of pulp covers and a few interior illustrations. It has a nice dramatic look to it, though, and I like the color scheme. Inside are stories by Barry Cord (Peter Germano), Archie Joscelyn, Lee Floren, Zachary Strong (who was usually E.B. Mann), and lesser-known names Costa Carousso, Carleton Carr, and Steve Lynch. Maybe not the strongest lineup, but Germano, Mann, and Joscelyn are always worth reading, and Floren sometimes is. Don't know about the other guys.
