John Creasey Mystery Magazine (US)   (about) Several issues of John Creasey Mystery Magazine were distributed in the USA. Initially the only difference was that a US price appeared on the cover as well as the usual UK price; but this changed in 1959 to stickers on the cover identifying them as a “Special US Edition”, with a price of 35 cents. Although only the month name is specified, these are known to have appeared 4-8 months after the equivalent UK issue. Editors: John Creasey - Editor: John Creasey Mystery Magazine (US).
