    The Masked Detective (1940)    (about)
    The Masked Detective was launched in 1940 at the height of the popularity of the “pulp hero” magazines, and each issue featured a novel about Rex Parker, the “masked detective”, as well as a handful of short stories and departments. It appeared on a quarterly basis but only lasted 12 issues before becoming a casualty of the paper shortages of World War II.

    A short-lived magazine which published a series of stories by Arthur Hoerl, seemingly syndicated to various newspapers previously as “Master Mysteries”, although the sources have not yet been traced.
