Triple-X Magazine, January 1929: Content Description This pulp magazine issue features war stories, westerns, and adventure tales.

Maynard's "Shorty Traps a Rustler," John Webb's "Tel Brown Cleans a Gang" (gunfights versus automatics), and Joe Ball's boxing story "The Jinx Punch." Serials continue H. Bedford-Jones's "The Tornado From Eagletail" and G.W. Barrington's "Bandits of Bald Hill."
