FBI Detective Stories

FBI Detective Stories was introduced in February 1949 and ran on a regular bimonthly schedule for 14 issues - quite a long life for a magazine about "The Feds", particularly at a time when the general trend was long past. The July 1951 issue wasn't published although a cover proof exists for it.

Both a British reprint edition and a Canadian reprint edition ran for a period in the 1950s. There was also a brief run of a British reprint under the name of Real F.B.I. Detective Case Stories in 1949.
