The Western Raider

The Western Raider was an American pulp magazine.

[1] Both these two issues were named after a supervillain, rather than after a hero who fights crime, as was the case with most such magazines.

[2] Norvell Page wrote the lead novels for both the crime fiction issues; the second was rewritten by Ejler Jakobsson, one of the editors, to change the character from The Octopus to The Scorpion.

[2] The Western Raider was published by Popular Publications.

There were a total of five issues; three under the title The Western Raider, one as The Octopus, and one as The Scorpion.
