BBB Pulp Pick - Country Gentleman

Norman Rockwell had lots of competition when it came to magazine covers - after all, there were lots of magazines with hand drawn covers. Over at Country Gentleman, Rockwell produced 34 covers between 1917 and 1922. This cover for October 1934 was titled Full Moon Romance by artist Phil Lyford.

Country Gentleman originally was a farming and rural magazine which ran occasional poems and extracts from novels; under Curtis (when it became a companion to The Saturday Evening Post) fiction became a strong feature. Authors included Ben Ames Williams and Zane Grey, a number of whose westerns were serialized here. It's main run was from 1853 to 1955.
