H.J. Ward provides a dramatic, action-packed cover for this issue of SPICY WESTERN STORIES. The issue leads off with two original stories, one by James P. Olsen writing as James A. Lawson, the other by Laurence Donovan as himself. The other five stories are house-name reprints of stories originally published under other names. E. Hoffmann Price wrote one of them, John A. Saxon wrote two as Rex Norman, there's another Olsen/Lawson story, and the other one is by-lined William Decatur in this issue but was published originally as by Ken Cooper. No telling who wrote that one since both of those are house-names. The Fictionmags Index notes that Glenn Lord provided the reprint information. I remember talking to Glenn about the Spicy pulps and wish I'd had the chance to discuss them more with him. That's just one of many reasons to miss Glenn.
