Detective Tales
The second most successful of Popular Publications detective magazines,
Detective Tales ran for 18 years, mainly on a monthly basis, producing a total
of 202 issues. Most of the issues offered twelve stories for ten cents, which has
occasionally led to it being mis-listed as Twelve Stories Detective Tales.
Finally, in 1953, it merged with New Detective
to form Fifteen Detective Stories.
There were also at least three different British Reprint
Editions as well as a Canadian reprint edition.
