Strange was sub-titled the magazine of true mystery. It was intended to publish non-fiction articles dealing with bizarre and unsolved mysteries. Topics covered included The Mary Celeste, feral children, death camps, cursed diamonds, dreams, swindles and so on. It lasted for three issues; March 1952(#1), May 1952(#2), July 1952(#3). The contents for the first issue were fairly typical.

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.

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.

Strange Detective Mysteries specialised, as the title implied, in "bizarre, thrilling, eerie-laden, mystery stories" and featured a host of bizarre crime fighters. Briefly, for five issues in 1938, it changed its name to Captain Satan and concentrated on the eponymous hero, but soon reverted to the original title, publishing a total of 33 issues in 6 series.
