Frank Tousey (1853-1902) was among the top five publishers of dime novels in the late 19th-century and early 20th-century. Based in New York, his sensationalism drew a large audience of youth, hungry for scenes of daring and tormented heroes and damsels in distress. Of particular notice in his approach to the ‘blood and thunder’ genre were the vivid cover illustrations of his dime novels, which were consistently larger and more thrilling than previous publications. Although focused on fictional weeklies, Tousey managed a variety of materials over time, including some handbooks, gossip sheets, and even a newspaper on current events in the Spanish-American War. “All Around Weekly” was a nickel weekly publication reprinting material from “Boys Star Library” and ran from from October 29, 1909, to March 10, 1911. Each issue featured 32 pages with colored pictorial covers and contained a variety of long, interesting stories. These stories were written by different authors and illustrated by expert artists. The publisher aimed to provide engaging content that couldn’t be found elsewhere. The blurb promised “a new story every week” and “fine illustrations.” Although the series ended after 72 issues, it left a mark as a periodical that catered to diverse tastes and entertained readers with thrilling adventures, mysteries, and more.
