4.0 out of 5 stars Pulp Western Hombres, April 19, 2011
This review is from: The Western Pulp Hero: An Investigation into the Psyche of an American Legend (Starmont Popular Culture Studies) (Paperback)
This is a quick look at characters from the Western Pulp magazines from the thirties to the early fifties.
Short review of characters like Len Siringo; Pecos Kid; Pete Rice; Sonny Tabor; Senorita Scorpion; Zorro; Kid Wolf; Tombstone and Speedy; Rio Kid; Hop-a-long Cassidy, and a couple dozen other cowpokes, from DIME WESTERN; WILD WEST WEEKLY; STAR WESTERN, and other pulp magazines.
Saddle up podners, and get this pronto!
