Great Detective   (about)
Great Detective was originally launched in 1933 with the self-imposed task of publishing “the best detective-mystery fiction available”, much of it with a distinctly English flavour. After nine issues or so there was a hiatus following which the magazine resurfaced briefly featuring entirely original fiction, but survived for only three issues in this guise. (Pub. Info.)

Hardboiled (1980s):   (about)
The history and naming of these small press “hardboiled detective” magazines can seem a trifle confusing. They started life as two separate magazines—Hardboiled from HB Enterprises in 1985 and Detective Story Magazine from Gryphon Publications in 1988. In 1990 they were merged under the title Hardboiled Detective, which was published by Gryphon Publications and continuing the numbering of Detective Story Magazine. This name was then shortened in 1992 to Hardboiled under which it continued until 2014.
