Featuring George Chance, a stage magician turned hero, The Ghost, Super-Detective was a low-budget effort from the start, featuring only the lead novel and a couple of short stories. After three issues it had a single issue as simply The Ghost Detective, followed by another three as The Green Ghost Detective, before succumbing to the World War II paper shortage. |

One story was announced for the unpublished Winter 1942 issue. |
The early issues were published in the format of Macfadden’s “true story” magazines. To add versimilitude, the magazine was illustrated with double-exposure photographs and the stories often carried double bylines in the form “by X as told to Y”, implying that the the story had been written by Y based on an account by X. Note that a number of reprints from Ghost Stories list only the X by-line. |
