Double Detective: Double Detective ran for five years on a mainly monthly schedule, notching up a total of 41 issues from the original publisher (Frank A. Munsey) plus a single, later, issue from Popular Publications. It is chiefly remember today for introducing the pulp-hero character known as “The Green Lama”. In between the two runs, Munsey launched Love-Crime Detective as a replacement, but it only lasted for five issues.
