Western Story Magazine (UK) [1966]

Country: UK
Total Issues: 2?

"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)
