This issue of Adventure, published by The Ridgway Company, contains fiction by established adventure writers. The table of contents lists Gordon Young, Farnham Bishop, Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur, Stanley S. Schnetzler, Stephen Chalmers, Max Bonter, Arthur D. Howden Smith, Ferdinand Berthoud, Crosbie Garstin, Russell A. Boggs, and Konrad Bercovici as contributors. The specific titles and plots of their stories cannot be reliably determined from the available OCR text, which primarily shows advertisements and subscription information rather than story contents. The magazine's characteristic adventure fiction orientation—action stories for male readers—is confirmed by the bylines of prolific pulp-era authors known for tales of exploration, peril, and exotic locales.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
