Clues:   (about)
Clues was always a popular choice among readers, despite never quite reaching the top rank of detective pulps. Starting in 1926 it ran for a very creditable 17 years (and 218 issues) before falling foul of the wartime paper shortages like so many other pulps. Listing supplied by Richard Bleiler unless otherwise noted.
