Listen to the coyotes howl across the lone prairie. Join up with the sheriff's posse to chase down a gang of cattle rustlers. Battle the frost-bitten elements of a snow storm in the Dakotas. Face off with a snake-eyed hombre who is itchin' to slap leather. All this and much more was offered readers of the Western Yarns magazine. Columbia Publications had a good dozen different western titles in its stable, but there was always room for one more. It brought out the first issue of Western Yarns in January of 1938, and continued for 22 issues until late 1944. Enjoy these tales of the wild west, where men were men, women were women, and law-breaking skunks received western two-gun justice. Western Yarns returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
