Strange [1952]

Strange was sub-titled the magazine of true mystery. It was intended to publish non-fiction articles dealing with bizarre and unsolved mysteries.

The contents for the first issue were fairly typical.

Strange [1971]

Sub-titled "True Stories of the Supernatural," this magazine was written entirely by Brad Steiger. Some, if not all, of the pieces are reprinted from his earlier books.

Strange Adventures (UK)

Total Issues: 2

The contents page of the first issue has no title, but a self- referential blurb refers to the magazine as Amazing Adventures. The latter title has never actually been used as the title of an SF magazine; rumors of such a title were probably produced by coverless copies of SA.

Issue Checklist

Strange Detective Mysteries (Canada)

Total Issues: 48?

The earliest issue known of this title is v6 #3, August 1941. This, and the following issue (v6 #4, November 1941) are the only issues in which the numbering is the same as the US edition from which it reprints, so they are probably among the first issues. The latest issue seen is v11 #30, November 1945. It seems to have been monthly for the entire period, which would have produced at least 48 issues.

In the early issues, the contents of an issue of Strange Detective Mysteries and an issue of Dime Mystery Magazine were mixed together and republished over two issues of the Canadian magazine, with a couple of stories squeezed out.

After the US edition of Strange Detective Mysteries folded, issues of Dime Mystery Magazine were reprinted, abridged, in alternating issues of Strange Detective Mysteries, with the intervening issues filled with random reprints, mostly from Detective Fiction Weekly of the 1930's.

Strange Romances

Strange Romances was another one of those ever present publications that seek to capitalize upon sensationalized accounts of true and often gruesome events. Here we have detailed reviews of off-beat romantic relationships ending in tragedy. Some of the fictionalized accounts do have a hint of weird menace or supernatural occurences but none of them are truly of this nature. Three issues have been seen and others may well exist.
