Published by Popular Publications, Dime Western Magazine ran for over 20 years, from 1932 to 1954. The best western stories were combined with exciting, action-filled covers, in order to keep fans of cowboys and six-guns reading. Here is just a small sampling of the many covers of Dime Western Magazine!

This is from 1955, a novel about “soldiers on leave and their women.” This cover was done by one of my favorites, Rafael DeSoto.

Unknown Artist
This cover is from 1954. Unfortunately, the identity of the artist responsible is not known.
Variety Detective only lasted for eight issues but the covers, all of which were done by Norman Saunders, have made it a favorite of collectors. Here are the eight covers of Variety Detective. I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the second image. It’s the best that I could get. I think the other covers make up for it.
All of the covers below are credited to Norman Saunders.
