Munsey's Magazine, founded in 1889, was among the most popular general-interest pulps of the early twentieth century. Selling for a dime, Munsey's mixed adventure serials, detective fiction, and scientific romances with illustrations and cover art calculated to arrest the newsstand browser. The October 1912–March 1913 volume indexed here represents the magazine's maturity as a mass-market vehicle, featuring contributions from authors and artists who defined the pulp era. Munsey's celebrated technological progress and imperial adventure while pioneering the visual and narrative conventions—breathless action, exotic locales, mysterious threats—that would shape comic books and popular fiction for decades.
