    Blue Star Adventure   (about)
    Blue Star #1 was “Ace of the Speedway” by F.G. Rayer, a non-sf adventure story. It would appear that #2 was the only sf title published. Other imprints from this publisher were Green Star Western and Red Star Detective.

    Blue Steel Magazine   (about)
    Something of a puzzle since this magazine began with Vol. 1 No. 2 and the second issue is Vol. 1 No. 4. Steeger says it was an experiment to supplant Gang World though that magazine picked up sales and continued regardless. The two issues are the same as the February 1932 and April 1932 issues of Gang World.
