Range Riders Western was a mix of a western with a mystery — a most satisfying combination. Three buckaroo trouble-shooters, Steve Reese aided by his two pals Hank Bell, and Dusty Trail worked for the Cattlemen's Protective Association. And when they received the call to action, they strapped on their six-guns and busted leather to hit the trail. Follow the trio as they take up the cudgels for peace and justice! This long-running western series began with the December 1938 issue, coming from Thrilling Publications, AKA Better Publications or Standard Magazines. It immediately struck a chord with its reading audience. The magazine title changed slightly — with the Fall 1940 issue Range Riders became Range Riders Western. And thus it stayed until the final issue in April 1953. All told, there were 75 issues of rip-roaring action published. Range Riders Western returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
