    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.
