Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Argosy Allstory Weekly, June 16, 1928

We haven't had a pith helmet cover in a while. The one on this issue of ARGOSY ALLSTORY WEEKLY comes to us courtesy of Edgar Franklin Wittmack. As usual, there are some fine writers inside: Edgar Rice Burroughs (with an installment of the serial version of APACHE DEVIL), George F. Worts (with an installment of a Gillian Hazeltine serial), John Wilstach, Edgar Franklin, Charles L. Hall (his only credit in the Fictionmags Index), and the long-forgotten Robert Beith, Charles Divine, Carolyn MacDonald, and Douglas H. Woodworth. As usual with ARGOSY, the serials are the bane of a collector's/reader's existence, but if you were there to pick up the issues every week off the newsstand, I suppose it's a format that worked well at the time.

Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Detective Fiction Weekly, November 20, 1937

That's a really striking cover by Rudolph Belarski on this issue of DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY, illustrating a story by a fine writer, John K. Butler. Also in this issue are stories by a couple of top hardboiled writers, Roger Torrey and Steve Fisher, and yarns by long-time pulpsters Edgar Franklin and Fred MacIsaac (writing as Donald Ross this time around). An issue of DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY was the first pulp I ever bought, so I have a definite fondness for the magazine.
