Pursuit & Hunted Detective Story Magazines
Pursuit Detective Story Magazine was launched by Star Publications in September 1953 but was really
a throwback to the no-nonsense pulps of the 1940s. After a dozen (mainly) bi-monthly issues, the formula
was popular enough for the publisher to increase the frequency to monthly. However, unusually, he did this
by launching a second title, Hunted Detective Story Magazine, which was identical to Pursuit
and appeared in alternate months. Both magazines ran for a further two years before folding at the end
of 1956.
There were at least 10 issues of an Australian reprint edition
under the title Pursuit--The Phantom Mystery Magazine.
