Detective Short Stories

Detective Short Stories specialised in unflagging, unsubtle and ferocious action, with covers typically featuring girls in torn clothes, tied up and in fearful danger. Despite the relatively poor quality of most of the stories, the magazine lasted for six years from 1943 to 1947, followed four years later by a single issue from a different publisher.
