Accused Detective Story Magazine was an attractively-packaged
digest with tough, fast-moving, and colorful fiction, that developed out
of the pulp magazines of the 1950s. It survived for a mere four issues.

No issues seen, but advertised on rear cover of Ace G-Man Stories (UK).
The first three issues of Ace Mystery were really weird horror
magazines rather than mystery magazines, offering the usual mix of
sadistic fantasy, weird menace and sexual apprehension. The last two
issues, retitled Detective Romances, were somewhat more sedate.
The first issue has been seen priced at both 10c and 15c.

Mike Cook, in Mystery, Detective and Espionage Magazines, says one issue is known
of this pulp magazine, but provides no details of it and no copy has been located.
It seems likely that this was a misreading for the 1950 Mystery
Stories which carried a banner heading of "Amazing Detective Mystery".
Appears to be another attempt at a hero pulp, but the magazine only lasted for a single issue.
