Pete RiceMagazine
A very scarceand desirable western title.
Pete Rice Magazine was one of several single character hero pulp titles published byStreet & Smith. With a cover date of November 1933 for the first issue, heappeared just eight months after Doc Savageappeared and nine months after Nick Carter. The title changed to Pete Rice Western Adventures withthe September 1935 issue and continued as such until the end of the run. AustinGridley was the Street & Smith house author that the Pete Rice stories appeared under, however most were written by apulp author named Ben Conlon.
In “Cheap Thrills”, Ron Goulart describes the Pete Rice realm as “builtaround a cowboy with a coterie of distinctive sidekicks.” In his book “The Pulp Western,” John Dinan considered Pete Rice more a moderndetective than your typical pulp fiction cowboy, “as the crimes andcircumstances surrounding them were modern and not particularly western (e.g.,counterfeiting).” Nick Carr cites Link Huller as referencing telephones andcars popping up in the stories occasionally.Pete seemed to be stuck somewhere between the old west and the early 20thcentury.
The first 26 issues hadnice striking cover art by Walter Baumhofer. Starting with the January 1936issue, R.G. Harris took over and continued until the end of the run with theJune 1936 issue. Pete Rice hastraditionally been a very difficult run to put together and to obtain all 32issues can be quite a daunting task. Average condition is about VG/FN with manyhigh grade.
