Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: All Fiction Stories, June 1931


Frank McAleer's cover on this issue of ALL FICTION STORIES features a pith helmet, a Tommy gun, a spear, and a canteen. As far as props go, you can't get much more adventure pulp fiction than that! The lead story is by F.V.W. Mason, too, one of the giants of the genre. Also on hand are Harold F. Cruickshank, Jay J. Kalez, and lesser-known authors James Stevens, E.L. Marks, and Polan Banks. ALL FICTION STORIES was one of the Dell pulps, and while I haven't read much published by Dell, it was all good, and this one looks like it probably is, too.

Saturday Morning Western Pulp: Cowboy Stories, July 1935


That's a nice dramatic cover on this issue of COWBOY STORIES. I don't know the artist, but he did a good job. Other than James P. Olsen and S. Omar Barker, this issue doesn't have many well-known authors on hand. The other stories are by Jay Kalez, William E. Brandon, Eben Garrett, Victor Kaufman, Paul R. Morrison, Butler Van Steenbergh, Carl F. Happel, and house-name Ken Martin. It's understandable if you're saying "Who?" in response to most of those. Doesn't mean the stories aren't enjoyable, though.

UPDATE: This cover is by Tom Lovell. Thanks to those who identified it as his work.
