This issue of STAR WESTERN sports a great cover by Emmett Watson, and look at that line-up of authors: Max Brand, Walt Coburn, E.B. Mann, Ray Nafziger, Cliff Farrell, Robert E. Mahaffey, Jay Lucas, and Malcolm Reiss. I don't own this issue. The scan and the information come from the Fictionmags Index. But I'm sure it's a great issue and I'd read it if I had a copy, you can bet a hat on that.
Nearly all of the DIME WESTERN covers from this era feature the same redheaded girl, usually angry and toting a gun. With covers like this, you can understand why she was mad. Tied to a cactus? That's just not right. You can't go wrong, though, with the authors in this issue: Walt Coburn, Harry F. Olmsted (twice, once as himself and once as Bart Cassidy with a Tensleep Maxon story), E.B. Mann (with a Whistler novelette), Miles Overholt, and Malcolm Reiss, who's probably better remembered as an editor for Fiction House but who turned out a decent number of pulp stories himself.
