THREE MEN—ONE BIG PROBLEM Tawny March thought juggling a Marine and a Soldier was trouble enough—until a wrong number brought a Navy man with eyes like storm-tossed seas! Now three uniforms, two proposals, and one sizzling secret threaten to set her heart—and her future—on fire! fromAll-Story LoveSeptember 1934 All-Story Love was a pulp romance magazine published by the Munsey Company, one of the pioneering giants of the pulp era. It debuted in 1921, during the boom years when publishers were experimenting with specialized pulps to target particular audiences. While Munsey had already made its mark with The Argosy and All-Story Weekly, All-Story Love was part of its expansion into genre-specific markets, alongside titles devoted to westerns, adventures, and detective tales. The magazine focused squarely on romance stories, offering melodramatic plots filled with passion, heartbreak, betrayal, and redemption. Unlike the broader pulps that mixed genres, All-Story Love catered specifically to women readers, which was still a relatively novel idea in pulp publishing at the time. The magazine ran through the 1930s, with changing editorial approaches as tastes evolved. In its early years, All-Story Love presented dramatic, almost gothic romance tales, but later it shifted toward lighter “love-conquers-all” narratives that mirrored popular Hollywood romances. Cover art played a crucial role in its appeal, often featuring glamorous young women in moments of emotional intensity, designed to catch the eye on crowded newsstands. Although it never achieved the enduring fame of adventure-oriented pulps, All-Story Love is significant for helping establish romance as a viable pulp genre. It paved the way for the later explosion of love pulps and, eventually, the mass-market paperback romance novels that would dominate mid-20th century popular fiction.
