True Men Stories (continued)

• * ___ v10 #6, January 1968 (Stanley Publications, 35¢, 74pp, quarto) [PSP] (Contents)

True Mystic Science

• * ___ features
• * ___ v 1 #1, November 1938 (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 84pp, large) Cover depicts young woman with long blonde hair staring down at her bosom (bodice is only slightly low-cut) at the large human eye which has opened thereon); she smiles in a mystically gratified manner. ToC also promises “Mystic India Speaks” via Talbot Mundy in the December issue, out November 1st. (Contents)
• * ___ v 1 #2, December 1938 (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 84pp, large) cover: Nude adolescent female faces reader; gold (?) band around hair; bunch of grapes and sheaf of wheat cover (most of) right and left breasts respectively (no indication what holds them there); right hand holds mystic device incorporating ship’s model and a balance; left holds device incorporating ankh and a four-walled bell; to either side of her are pillars carved with Egyptian hieroglyphics; picture cuts off just above navel level. The only cover that might have caused raised eyebrows at a newstand, I think. Promised lead story next month: Joan of Arc, by Paul Chadwick. (Contents)
• * ___ v 1 #3, January/February 1939 (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 84pp, large) note on the table of contents offers an unusual reason for the combinated date: “In order to give hosts of new readers the time to catch up on the wealth of ground covered by TRUE MYSTIC SCIENCE, the January issue is combined with the February...” [DKL] (Contents)
• * ___ v 1 #4, March 1939 (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 68pp, large) pagination runs from 103-166, not counting covers; 101-168 if covers are counted. The previous issue’s pagination stopped at 82 (or 84 counting covers, as TMS apparently did in the pagination of the earlier issues, where the first text page was p.3). There’s no explanation of why the jump from page 84 to page 101; certainly neither issue appears to be defective; maybe It’s A Mystical Thing. [DKL] (Contents)
• * ___ v 2 #1, April 1939 (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 68pp, large) [DKL] (Contents)
• * ___ v 2 #2, May 1939 (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 68pp, large) [DKL] (Contents)
• * ___ v 2 #3, June 1939 (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 68pp, large) [DKL] (Contents)
• * ___ v 2 #4, July 1939 (Continental News; Minneapolis, MN, 25¢, 68pp, large) The photo on the back is comparable to the entries in present-day FT “Simulacra Corner” — e.g. natural phenomena (tree branches and foliage in this case) which bear close accidental resemblance to people or things — but unsurprisingly TMS is pushing this photo (from 1927) as miraculous rather than accidental.

True Story Magazine
