Private Detective (Canada) (about)
This magazine has no direct relationship to the Trojan publication from the US of the same name. Some issues are direct reprints from that magazine, while others reprint stories from magazines such as Detective Yarns, Double-Action Gang, Hooded Detective and Crack Detective. Continued after March 1944 as a true crime magazine entitled Private Detective Cases.

Private Eye featured stories of hoodlums and small-time crooks, private investigators and the police, and some stories with surprise endings. Despite containing a good selection of contemporary crime-adventure and mystery stories by well-known authors, the magazine folded after only two issues, publishing material that was too little different from so many others.

Public Enemy was Dell Publishing’s attempt to cash in on the G-Man boom of the mid-1930s and featured the adventures of Lynn Vickers, Agent G-77. However, it never really caught on and only ran for six issues under its initial title. In August 1936 the magazine was renamed to Federal Agent and gradually changed to a standard detective pulp, abandoning Lynn Vickers and his colleagues, but it only lasted for eight issues under this incarnation before folding in November 1937.
