Hee!

Looks hand-drawn, sir. The S's, R's, T's...none of 'em match.

Sam said...

Agree with Earl Newton. That is no font.

This is close, but not quite:

There is a font based on that exact cover title. Here is the link to a site discussing it...

Thank you, Mr. James. Finally - someone who can bring an "A-game" to the proceedings.

Trajan indeed.

The Trajan guy (me) says: "Wow, the 'Startling Stories' cover art is su-wheet!"

It's a cool font, I downloaded a copy for myself. There was another font called Fedora on that first link, that is not bad either. Sort of a action-detective type font.

The whole www.thepulp.net site is kind of interesting, lots of links. The even have a pulp-related search engine called "Pulp Gumshoe"...
