I love the colors here and the iconic image of the lone paddler, I think it's very meditative.
At this time the pulp was a nice big, bedsheet-size and full of stories of cowboys with three columns and profuse illustration. It ran as a bedsheet for nine issues between November 1925 until the August issue of 1926 when it would return to a smaller format and become Frontier Stories which Fiction House would publish for many years. When I look for this pulp, it seems like the earlier issues aren’t that common but that the 40s issues with a girl in distress in the GGA style of the day are around in greater numbers.

I really enjoyed the first story in this issue, a tale of pirates and treasure, loyalty and deception, and attacks and counterattacks. This lively tale is enriched by all of the illustrations. I love the little illustration for the beginning letters of some of the paragraphs. They are something of a snapshot of what is happening in the story and add to the atmosphere. Or the inclusion of the island’s map is a great touch. It's a shame that illustration has dropped out of so much of today's fiction and the trend is likely to get worse with some of the text only e-formats in heavy use. Samples. The splash for for the first story, “The Devil’s Cauldron”
