British reprint edition of Dime Detective. It is not known how many issues were published in this series. |
This is identical to the US issue except that the word “Dime” has been erased from the cover and Table of Contents, and a UK price has been added to the former, and details of the UK publisher to the latter. Oddly, the mention of “Up in Murder’s Room” has also been erased from the cover even though it is still listed in the Table of Contents. Details taken from Table of Contents. |

Dime Mystery (Book) Magazine started off as a fairly staid pulp under the name Dime Mystery Book Magazine featuring a full-length “two-dollar novel” and a few short stories. However this was not a successful formula and after only ten issues the publisher, Popular Publications, changed the title to Dime Mystery Magazine, featuring several novelettes and short stories. Even more significantly the emphasis was changed to “weird menace”, which was much more popular and allowed the magazine to continue for a further 144 issues. In 1950 the name was changed again to 15 Mystery Stories, but it lasted for only five issues under this title before folding in late 1950. |
