Gang World: (about)
Gang World was one of the first gangster pulps, created by Popular Publications in 1930 and running for 25 monthly issues. When it folded in November 1932, the title was picked up by Spencer Publications, but by then the pressure against gangster pulps was growing and the magazine only lasted for a further seven issues.

G-Men: (about)
G-Men was launched by Standard Magazines in 1935 and rapidly established itself as the most popular of those featuring federal agent crime stories. It ran for 53 monthly issues until Feb-1940 at which point the decline of interest in G-Man stories caused a slight change in title (and emphasis) to G-Men Detective and a shift to a bimonthly schedule (occasionally falling to quarterly) which it maintained for a further 59 issues until the magazine folded in Winter 1953.
