Between 1929 and 1934, Howard sold twenty adventures of Steve Costigan, the fighting sailor to various pulps. After an uneven start he hit his stride in 1931, and with "Circus Fists," from the May 1931 issue of Fight Stories, presented a full-blown and worthy predecessor to my favorite western hero, Breckenridge Elkins. Read it and see!
I got all the Costigan's on my Kindle for free and read them a few years back, but it was great fun having another look at this one.
