“Wild West Weekly” was originally a dime novel, later transformed into a pulp magazine, first published on October 24, 1902, by Frank Tousey. The debut issue, titled “The Prince in the Saddle,” was written by Tousey under the pseudonym “An Old Scout” and introduced the character Young Wild West, a skilled eighteen-year-old horse rider with distinctive chestnut hair. The dime novel series became popular, running from 1902 to 1928, before being acquired by Street & Smith in 1927. It continued as a pulp magazine from 1931 until 1943, when it underwent a brief name change before being discontinued later that year. Over its lifespan, Wild West Weekly produced 822 issues. Notable contributors included writers such as Cornelius Shea and J. Allan Dunn, while cover art was provided by renowned artists like Walter M. Baumhofer and Norman Saunders, leaving a lasting legacy in early American popular literature.
