An early experiment with a "pocket-sized" magazine to persuade readers to part with their cash in the hard days after the depression, Pocket Detective featured many of the same authors as the other Street & Smith detective pulps. Bad sales did not result in the anticipated success and it folded after 11 issues.

Designed to fit in a man's hip-pocket, Pocket Detective featured fast-action, crime-adventure stories, each preceded by a pulplike illustration and printed on cheap paper. It folded after only two issues.

Offshoot from Man with the same mix of pin-ups, cartoons, features and fiction, it was effectively a replacement for Man Junior when that title shifted to full-size format.

A series of small paperbacks that are variously listed as anthologies or magazines. Contents of issues varied between detective, romance and westerns, at least. The detective issues were entitled Detective Tales and mainly reprinted stories from the Popular Publications magazine of the same name and Dime Detective, leading it to be listed sometimes as a British reprint edition of the former magazine.
