Sports fans knew what to look for on their newsstands — Thrilling Sports! Every issue was filled with exciting action from the worlds of track and field events, boxing, baseball, football, hockey, wrestling, tennis, auto racing, basketball, dog sled racing, horse racing, water polo, rodeo events, swimming, rowing, ice skating, crew racing, fishing, bowling, bob-sledding, lacrosse, golf, and the list goes on. Standard Magazines (aka Best Publications or Thrilling Publications) saw a need for a new type of magazine and brought out Thrilling Sports beginning in 1936. From the debut issue of September 1936 until the final Summer 1951 issue, Thrilling Sports knew what the sports fans wanted, and gave it to them! Thrilling Sports returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
