Gangland Detective Stories

 see under Ten Story Gang

Gangland-Racketeer Stories

 Mike Cook in MYSTERY, DETECTIVE, AND ESPIONAGE MAGAZINES lists this as a Blue Band magazine in the 1930s, but this is probably a confusion for the merger of {Gangland Stories} and {Racketeer Stories}.

Gangland Stories

Total Issues: 14+3=17

Merged with Racketeer Stories in May 1932, with corresponding change in title, but numbering continued from Gangland Stories.

Gangster Stories

Total Issues: 31+13=44

Initially one of Hersey's more successful pulps, Gangster Stories was sold in 1932, along with all his magazine assets. The new owners boastfully renamed the magazine Greater Gangster Stories but the readers were less impressed and the magazine folded after only 13 issues.

Gang World was one of the first gangster pulps, created by Popular Publications in 1930 and running for 25 monthly issues.
