Smashing Detective Stories / Fast Action Detective and Mystery Stories
One of the last detective pulps to be launched, Smashing Detective Stories
featured hard-action stories of mystery and detection. After 27 issues the magazine
title changed to Fast Action Detective and Mystery Stories but only 3 more
pulp issues were published under this title, followed by 3 digest issues.
A British reprint edition ran for at least 8
issues in the early 1950s.
