For hard-hittin', leather-slappin' western action, readers looked to Popular Western to deliver rough-ridin', six-gun-totin' thrills. It never failed to deliver. For 133 issues, Popular Western was one of the top western pulp magazines on the newsstands. It all started in November 1934, when Better Publications (aka Standard Magazines, aka Thrilling Publications) published the debut issue. Top writers in the field of western action contributed to each magazine until it finally bit the dust in November of 1953. Popular Western returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
