Detective Action Stories was one of the first four magazines published in October 1930 by the then-new partnership of Henry Steeger and Harold Goldsmith that was to become so well-recognised as Popular Publications. However Detective Action Stories was never a great success, running for only 19 monthly issues until April 1932. It was briefly relaunched four years later (in October 1936) but lasted for only a further 9 issues before folding for good.

True crime.

Detective Book Magazine was published by Fiction House and emphasized a complete, unabridged, book-length detective novel in each issue, supported by a couple of short stories. Initially it was not particularly successful, running for only 18 monthly issues before folding in September 1931. However it was revived some six years later, in Fall 1937, and continued on a fairly regularly quarterly schedule for a further fifteen years, notching up a reasonable total of 65 issues.

Note that many (possibly all) of the novels in the second series were abridged.
