Don Pendleton’s The Executioner Mystery Magazine:   (about)
Despite the title, the magazine had no connection to the character created and made popular by Don Pendleton in his series of paperback books on “The Executioner” and featured all new stories in a more-or-less standard crime adventure fare. The magazine commenced publication with Volume 1 No. 4, possibly due to the first issue being published in the fourth month of the year. There were no issues labelled Volume 1 No. 1, Volume 1 No. 2 or Volume 1 No. 3.

Double-Action Detective Stories (1954):   (about)
Double Action Detective Stories was a pulp magazine in every way but size, at a time when the competition had moved on to more sophisticated material. Initially published only twice a year (although the issues weren’t dated), it shifted to a quarterly schedule after the fifth issue, and then to a bimonthly schedule the following year, changing its name at much the same time to Double Action Detective and Mystery Stories.

Double-Action Gang Magazine:   (about)
Double-Action Gang Magazine was a short-lived member of the “Double Action” magazine group and claimed to be oriented to “guns, gangsters, gun molls and stories of true gang life”. It ran on a vaguely bimonthly schedule for 4 years. The final, October 1939, issue was confusingly renamed to True Gangster Stories despite containing the same mix of fact and fiction as before.

Double Detective:   (about)
Double Detective ran for five years on a mainly monthly schedule, notching up a total of 41 issues from the original publisher (Frank A. Munsey) plus a single, later, issue from Popular Publications. It is chiefly remember today for introducing the pulp-hero character known as “The Green Lama”. In between the two runs, Munsey launched Love-Crime Detective as a replacement, but it only lasted for five issues.
