Aldine "Life and Adventure" Library (Second Series)

Total Issues: 19

The first four titles were originally listed as issues 4-7 of the earlier series, but eventually appeared un-numbered except in adverts where their numbers had reverted to 1-4. The series is advertised as running to 20 issues, but #19 is missing from the British Library registration run and may not have appeared (as are the newly numbered 1-3). The Deadwood Dick stories each reprinted five numbers from the Aldine Boys' First-Rate Pocket Library.

Aldine Mystery Novels

Total Issues: 28 (numbered)

Contained a complete 40,000 word novel each issue. This was almost certainly aimed at an adult audience but is included here because for the most part it shared the same authors as the more obviously juvenile series.

Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine

Total Issues: 604 (to Dec-2006)

Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine is one of the longest-running crime magazines, having recently celebrated it's fiftieth anniversary (and 600th issue). For most of its life it has been a digest magazine, changing briefly to a larger format from May 1957 through January 1958. Although Hitchcock gave his name to the magazine, signed the brief editorial introductions, and appeared on the cover for twenty-five years, he never really had any direct involvement with the magazine.

Note that the cover title changed to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine in 1993, but the table of contents still retains the full name.

Alfred Hitchcock's Suspense Magazine

Total Issues: 15?

The contents of this magazine came from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and typically contained most/all of the stories from the U.S. issue dated 2 or 3 months earlier.

The earliest issues of the magazine claimed to be an Australasian edition of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, although by the Jul-1958 issue the magazine claimed to be a British Empire edition, despite the fact that a separate British edition of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine was published in England from Sep-1957 to Aug-1958.
