This index to Munsey's Magazine Volume XLIV catalogs the special articles and stories that defined the pulp era. Munsey's, founded in 1889, pioneered the cheap monthly format that made mass-market fiction affordable. By 1910, the magazine published adventure narratives, detective stories, and scientific romances alongside serious essays—a mix that established templates later adopted by comic books. The index lists contributors including Isaac F. Marcosson, Frank Marshall White, and others whose bylines appeared on stories of exploration, crime, and the fantastic. Munsey's painted covers, though not reproduced here, advertised these contents through vivid imagery designed to arrest newsstand browsers and promise entertainment for a dime.
