Only one issue is known. The derivation of the numbering has not been determined. It is possible that this is a continuation of the numbering begun by Shock Tales but, if so, the intervening issues would not appear to have been fantasy.

There is also at least #1 of a New Series, which is identical to #1 of the original series.

There appear to be four distinct series of the magazine. The first was subtitled "For the Man Who Knows" and looks somewhat like an Esquire clone. It ran from August 1941 to March 1942, and possibly only lasted for 7 issues. Later in the mid 1940s it reappeared as an all-reprint digest subtitled "The Modern Digest for Men", with pieces by known figures like Ambrose Bierce, Humphrey Bogart, Oscar Levant, Earl Wilson.

There was then a brief run in the early 1950s as a girly magazine. Finally, in the mid 1950s, it reappeared as a men's magazine and published stories by Robert Bloch, Avram Davidson, Barry Malzberg, Norman Spinrad, Henry Kuttner and a whole bunch of others.

The volume numbering was restarted for each of the series, except that the final series started at Vol. 3 No. 1.
