Spicy Western Stories

A fast-draw of pulp action and frontier grit, Spicy Western Stories galloped through 14 issues from 1936 to 1942 under DM Publishing. The series was largely shaped by the twin talents of Joseph Sokoli and Bill Everett, who handled both writing and art duties, delivering rough-and-tumble tales of the Old West. Though short-lived, it stands as a distinct entry in the pre-war comic landscape, offering a lean, unvarnished take on cowboy adventure before the genre’s later boom.
