    Strange Detective Mysteries:   (about)
    Strange Detective Mysteries specialised, as the title implied, in “bizarre, thrilling, eerie-laden, mystery stories” and featured a host of bizarre crime fighters. Briefly, for five issues in 1938, it changed its name to Captain Satan and concentrated on the eponymous hero, but soon reverted to the original title, publishing a total of 33 issues.
