Publisher description
Nine thrilling tales of yesteryear from the December, 1959 issue of FIFTEEN WESTERN TALES magazine! Presented by Black Magazine [www.blackMaskMagazine.com] and iPulpFiction [www.iPulpFiction.com]
FIFTEEN WESTERN TALES was a late invention by Popular Publications editors. It first appeared in 1941, twenty years after the early western pulps started to emerge. It was published every other month until 1946 when it went monthly. That means that it had a slow time picking up a strong audience during World War II.
By 1946, however, FIFTEEN WESTERN TALES started to hit its stride, and it appeared monthly on a regular basis until 1951 when most of the pulps were dead or dying. Unlike most pulp genres, especially the detective pulps which died out by 1953 or so, Westerns, especially romance westerns, survived into the 1950s and longer.

"I've never lost a man, " Jim Fleming boasted-and backed his brag with lightning sixes even when the man he hunted was-himself!
WAY OF THE GUNBORN by T. C McClary
They still called him the Lobo Kid, and he still had a lobo's pride that brought him-snarling and hated-back to one last kill!
BEYOND BOOTHILL by Philip Ketchum
Chuck Martin hated Frank Holt almost as much as he hated killing him-till he found in that flame-torn night that his sixes had bought Frank a life-
DEVIL'S DRIVE by C. William Harrison
"You ain't gonna cheat us out of our chance to make you a hero, mister-not if we have to kill you first!"
TRIGGER TIME by Kenneth Fowler
"Shoot, crawl or die, mister, you still won't sell your life cheap- for this killing is paid for-in twenty years of hell!"
