Fight Stories
Fight Stories was originally launched by Fiction House in June 1928 as a monthly magazine, as which it ran for 47 issues until being suspended for four years in May 1932. It was then revived as a quarterly in Spring 1936 and ran for a further 59 issues. It is mainly remembered today for publishing a considerable number of stories by Robert E. Howard.
A British reprint edition ran for a while in the 1940s, but precise details are not known.

SOCK OF AGES—THOMAS THURSDAY

A fighting organist! From the Brotherhood Mission to the white glare of the prize ring! Punch for punch he gave, but the big sock came in the last frame, with the crowd on its feet and the referee in a daze.

SINBAD THE SAILOR—ROBERT H. H. NICHOLS

A fighting fool of a sailor, with a mania for airplanes and red-headed sweethearts—that was Sinbad!Dumb in many ways, perhaps, but dumb like a fox with that left hand of his! Another whirlwind of laughsand leather, featuring the great Roland Rigormortis.
