Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
Thrilling tales of the criminal underground! Columbia Publications (aka Double-Action Magazines) was late in entering the gangster-story field, but made up for it in action, action and more action. Also, known for its other Double-Action titles like Double-Action Detective and Double-Action Western, the publisher released the first issue in August 1938 under the title Ten Story Gang. It lasted six issues under that title, and was then renamed to Gangland Detective Stores. After three issues under that title, the magazine folded with the September 1940 issue. Nine issues were published in all. It was a short-lived pulp, but while being published, it really delivered the goods with plenty of thrills and bloodshed. Gangland Detective Stories returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
