This March 1920 issue of Adventure, published twice monthly by Ridgway Company, features fiction by established pulp authors. The table of contents lists stories by Charles Beadle, W.C. Tuttle, Arthur O. Friel, H.A. Lamb, Harrison R. Howard, Thomas McMorrow, Hugh Pendexter, Roy P. Churchill, S.B.H. Hurst, Edgar Young, and Gordon Young. Advertised serials include Joseph Conrad's "The Rescue," Charles Neville Buck's "The Tempering," and Talbot Mundy's "The Eye of Zeitun." The issue also advertises Arthur B. Reeve's Craig Kennedy detective fiction series, promoted as applying scientific methodology to mystery-solving, alongside related ads for self-improvement courses in memory training and vocational education.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
