They sort of represented the spirit of adventure, etc. They covered all types of subjects except for SF or the fantastic. There was a policy of not publishing fantastic or supernatural stories. <br /><br />In the teens they followed the practice of many other pulps like BLUEBOOK and ALL STORY and showed pretty girls on the covers. But by the later teens and 1920's, this practice ceased to such an extent that there were absolutely no women showed at all. <br /><br />It was a man's adventure magazine without what editor Arthur Sullivant Hoffman called "women's interest" stories. The covers reflected this policy and though women might appear as characters, the stories avoided the love and romance formula demanded by the slicks and other pulp magazines.<br /><br />Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-77796695866773977132014-03-03T21:18:24.018-06:002014-03-03T21:18:24.018-06:00Just going by the titles of the stories listed in ...Just going by the titles of the stories listed in the Fictionmags Index, none of them sound like Viking stories.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-81826526430381686642014-03-03T20:35:14.219-06:002014-03-03T20:35:14.219-06:00Is there a Viking story in this issue?Is there a Viking story in this issue?Duane Spurlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102074370101800708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-88228533600554941052014-03-02T18:40:41.109-06:002014-03-02T18:40:41.109-06:00Now there is a cover that would pull me in.Now there is a cover that would pull me in.Neil A.

I consider the twenties to be the very best period for this excellent magazine. Copies are still available at the pulp conventions and ebay.<br /><br />The cover was done by one of my favorite artists by the name of Edgar Franklin Wittmack. I still have a cover painting by him from PEOPLES MAGAZINE. One of the better painters but almost forgotten today.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
