The All-Story (which transitioned to All-Story Weekly in March 1914) was a prominent American pulp fiction magazine published by Frank A. Munsey. Launched in January 1905 as a monthly, it became a legendary breeding ground for genre fiction, famous for first publishing major pulp milestones like Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan of the Apes (October 1912) and John Carter of Mars (Under the Moons of Mars, February 1912), as well as Johnston McCulley's Zorro.
