Western Story Magazine

Total Issues: 1286+11=1297

Formerly a dime-novel library, The New Buffalo Bill Weekly, featuring the adventures of the eponymous hero. The changeover was not immediate - the first issue to bear the heading Western Story Magazine is believed to be 12-Jul-1919 (v7#1) but the first pulp issue was 5-Sep-1919 (v8#1) and the first two pulp issues, at least, continued to have Buffalo Bill stories.

Note that in 1943 the frequency of the magazine changed: up to the February 13th 1943 issue Western Story Magazine was a weekly, then there was six-week gap until 20th March, before then settling down to a fortnightly publication schedule. Note also that there were NO issues in February 1920.

Western Story Magazine [1966] (UK)

"This issue contains stories by Steve Frazee, Bill Gulick, Noel Loomis, H.A. DeRosso and Ernest Haycox. This would be an impressive line-up even for an anthology, but it's pretty incredible for a monthly magazine. (Of course, they're all American reprints, so it is kind of like an anthology, but the selection is still remarkable. The American reprint mags I've seen have mostly been dreck.)" (Kent Johnson on #2)
