Seemingly a one-shot that reprinted three stories from Dime Mystery Magazine.

Short-lived digest which attempted to cover, in a comprehensive manner, all mystery-related entertainment— fiction, book reviews, film reviews, puzzles, articles and interviews with prominent personalities in the field.

One of the better weird-menace magazines, stressing the luscious female in most distressing situations. The first issue was Vol.1 No.4 - it is not known whether any magazine preceded this for the first three issues.

Initially a giant-sized, 256-page, quarterly, the magazine changed hands after only 8 issues and shrank to 128-page issues, with an emphasis on weird crime. Although the new publisher claimed their magazine was not a continuation of the previous one, the issue numbering is continuous throughout. After a further 9 issues it changed to a frontier adventure magazine called Real Northwest Adventures.

Mystery Puzzle of the Month was a series of jigsaws published by Pearl Publishing Co., each of which was accompanied by an original short story in a well-known series. The idea was that both story and jigsaw contained clues that would allow the reader to solve the mystery. The actual solution was given on the final page of the story in mirror text.

Non-fiction magazine about the crime and detective fiction genre.

A companion title to Mystery and Detection, Mystery Stories was a mixture of new stories and reprints, but drew mostly from lesser-known British sources or American pulps.

One of Martin Goodman's "Red Circle" weird menace magazines, seemingly published as a companion to Star Detective. Began with Vol.2 No.3, possibly to match the current issue of Star Detective.

A short-lived magazine with an assortment of well-known and lesser-known authors writing crime-adventure stories, oriented more to fast action and swinging locales than to mystery.

The lead stories are reprinted from the "Master Thrillers" series of booklets from the 1930s but the other stories appear to be new (at least in the second issue). Two further issues were announced but probably never appeared.

Small press mystery magazine. It is currently not known how many issues were published before 1993.

Quarterly journal devoted not only to crime and mystery fiction but also other artistic mediums with relevant attributes.

Primarily an occult non-fiction magazine which, in its early issues, was about half fiction and half articles. After the fourth issue the fiction was greatly reduced and appeared only sporadically after the seventh issue. Later issues contain articles by Richard S. Shaver that may be of interest to some collectors.

The magazine settled firmly into a non-fiction format about the time that Palmer sold his interest in its chief competitor, Fate, and the title was changed to Search with the October 1956 issue. It was still running at the time of Palmer's death in 1977.
