Guilty and Trapped Detective Story Magazines

Guilty Detective Story Magazine and Trapped Detective Story Magazine were companion magazines launched by Feature Publications in June/July 1956. Both determined to show that the spirit of the 1940s detective pulp magazines was still alive and well in the 1950s, albeit in a digest format. Each magazine ran for 35 issues, initially alternating on a bimonthly schedule and latterly alternating with two issues every quarter.
