The Action-Packed Covers Of Star Western


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!
