Before the dust could settle on an old cow town, Culture Publications whipped out a new Western pulp in January of 1938 and entitled it Spicy Western Stories. Apparently there was just a bit too much spice in those pulp tales, because government and industry pressure finally force the publisher to mend their ways, after five spicy years. In January 1943 they changed the name of the company to Trojan Publications, and the magazine title to Speed Western Stories. And as such, it continued for another 42 issues and five more years, offering all the action and thrills that a western fan could ask for... just without the mild titilation. The final issue of Speed Western Stories was dated January 1948. Speed Western Stories now returns with vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
