Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
The Old West lives again in these blazing tales relating the saga of the Rio Kid. Meet Bob Pryor, the Rio Kid, fresh from the cavalry charges of the Civil War. Relive the gunsmoke thrills of that glorious era when the course of empire moved westward and pioneers wrote history with the smoking ends of their Winchesters. Ride with the Rio Kid as he joins with the West’s greatest figures — General Custer, "Doc" Holiday, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson and Geronimo — blazing the trails for cattle and preparing the way for the railroads, opening up the vast land for homesteaders, subduing savage and outlaw, fighting fire and flood, winning the West! In 1939 Better Publications (also known as Thrilling Publications) wanted to add something new to the western pulp field: a fictional hero who rubbed shoulders with actual historical figures. The Rio Kid was that man. For 76 bimonthly issues, readers thrilled to stories of the early West until the magazine finally ceased publication with the May 1953 issue. The Rio Kid rides again in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today's readers in electronic format.
