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.
Variety Detective Magazine, and the key word in the title was "variety." Each issue promised twelve stories for 10¢, which offered readers a variety that other pulp magazines could rarely deliver. These were hard-bitten detective mysteries that grabbed the reader from the first paragraph, and didn't let go until the very last word. Publisher Ace Magazines, aka Periodical House, were also responsible for other pulp fare such as Captain Hazzard and Ten Detective Aces. The series began with the August 1938 issue and changed its name to Lone Wolf Detective after eight issues. After another eight issues, the magazine closed because of wartime paper rationing. The final issue was April 1941. Variety Detective Magazine returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
