The Covers of Ace G-Men Stories


by Gustavus Widney

From 1936 through 1942. Ace G-Men Stories published stories of FBI agents battling gangsters and, eventually, foreign spies.  Among the many regular features in the magazine were the stories of the Suicide Squad, a group of four FBI agents who took on the jobs and the missions that were too dangerous for everyone else.  Today, the magazine is highly sought by collectors because of its exciting and very pulpy covers.

Here’s a sampling of the covers of Ace G-Men Stories!

42 Ranger Home Runs!


Well, would you look at that!

It’s nearly time for the all-star game and my Texas Rangers are leading the AL West!  Right now, the Rangers have a 50-34 record.  That’s still a little bit too close for me (the Astros are only four games behind!) but it still looks like my team finally has a chance to return to the playoffs!  Of course, I don’t want to get cocky.  A lot can change during the second half of the season and it usually does.  Right now, I’m just happy to see my team with a winning record.

To celebrate, here is every home run (all 42 of them!) that the Rangers hit in June!

Get In The Mood For The 4th With These Vintage Posters


The 4th of July is just a few days!  If you’re having trouble getting in the mood to celebrate America, I understand.  The past few years haven’t been easy and sometimes, we seem more divided as a country than we ever have.  But I have faith in us, as both a country and as a citizenry.  We’ve survived tough times before and we’ll survive them again in the future.

Here, to hopefully help get you in the mood for the 4th, is selection of patriotic posters from World War I and World War II.
