    New All-Action Stories   (about)
    A loosely-connected series of thin pulps that were (mainly) numbered sequentially but varied between detective, romance and westerns, at least, and each of which had a different title. The series “title” was never listed in the table of contents, but was mentioned in advertisements for “other titles in the series”.
