Additional notes

Active contribution renewals are recorded beginning in the 1958 January-June CCE volume, but the earliest renewed contribution is noted in the 1959 January-June volume.

Publication was suspended after the January 1935 issue until the August 1936 issue, At that point, volume numbering reset to 1 and the title changed to 'Ace-High Western Magazine' to distinguish it from the spinoff 'Ace-High Detective Magazine'. Title reverted to 'Ace-High Magazine' beginning with the March 1937 issue. Volume numbering went to 80 in the November 1937 issue, and then reset to 1 in 1940, the year the title changed to 'Ace-High Western Stories', used until publication ceased in 1951.
