    One story was announced for the unpublished October 1947 issue.

    Manhunt   (about)
    Manhunt boasted it was the world’s best-selling crime fiction magazine, and was certainly the “gold standard” against which all other “tough” crime magazines of the period measured themselves. Starting in January 1953 as a monthly digest, it flirted briefly (from March 1957 to May 1958) with a larger format to enhance newstand sales. The latter was not a success however and it soon reverted to digest size and dropped to bimonthly. In all it ran for almost 15 years and notched up a very respectable 114 issues. From January 1953 to March 1956 the cover read Manhunt Detective Story Monthly, but the magazine was always called just Manhunt in the Table of Contents.
