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.
Tales of the great American west struck a nerve with pulp magazine readers. It seemed that their appetite was insatiable when it came to cowboy action. Columbia Publications (also known as Blue Ribbon Publications and Double-Action Magazines) released a wide variety of western titles to appease their western fans. Complete Cowboy was one of those. Some of the others were: Double Action Western Magazine, Real Western, Western Action, Blue Ribbon Western, Famous Western and Western Yarns. All of these offered the hard-hitting action, the bronco-ridin' thrills that western fans demanded. Complete Cowboy began publication in January 1939 and ran for 42 issues until the final magazine hit the stands in April/May of 1950. Complete Cowboy now returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

Two Quick-Trigger Novelets
One Veterinary, One Undertaker, One Gun-War
by Lee Floren
Ringbone Smith and Funeral O’Neill had a problem on their hands. They had to clear Ed Burnett of the trumped-up charge that landed him in jail. But they couldn’t let him stay there, because a necktie party for Ed was brewing; and they dassn’t break him out because dry-gulchers’ bullets were waiting for him. In fact they couldn’t do anything. The way the old hellions did it makes one of the saltiest, punchingest, gosh-darn yarns we’ve seen in a long, long time!
A Man Called Trigger
by P.J. Delancye
Jack McCall came back to Tombstone to find that he’d been given a bad name so they could hang him. He knew who the coyote behind this game was: Slade, the one who had jumped McCall’s claim and drygulched his partner. But Slade had things nicely arranged, and Trigger found himself tangled with Marshall Wyatt Earp, bane of badmen!
