Dime Detective Magazine

Dime Detective Magazine was the most popular of Popular Publication's line of detective pulps and one of the company's longest surviving titles. It ran for 274 issues from November 1931 to August 1953, mainly on a monthly basis, increasing to twice-monthly in 1933 to 1935 and declining to bi-monthly for the final three years.

Both a British reprint edition and a Canadian reprint edition ran intermittently from the 1930s to the 1950s. There were also brief runs of British reprints under the names of Red Dime Detective and Yankee Magazine Fiction in 1948/9.
