Star Western was one of the more popular western magazines of the pulp era.  Each issue promised 160 pages of shoot ’em up excitement.  The majority of the covers had a red background, which undoubtedly distinguished Star Western from all of the other western magazines of the 30s and 40s.

Here is small sampling of the action-packed covers of Star Western!
