Offering more gun-slappin' excitement, another western magazine made its debut in February of 1945. It seems that there could never be enough western adventures to slate the public thirst for hard ridin’, gun-bustin’ old west thrills. The publisher was Trojan Publications, who also provided readers with such other western fare such as Blazing Western, Gunsmoke Western, Lone Ranger Magazine, Six-Gun Western, Speed Western Stories and the infamous Spicy Western Stories. Whew! And the issues quickly flew from the newsstands, as customers eagerly sought the latest tales set in the old west. Git ‘em up cowboy! These western tales kept a-comin' until the final issue in September of 1950, when pulps were being beginning to lose out to the competition from comic books, paperbacks and, of course, television. This magazine title lasted 31 issues. Fighting Western returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
