Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine

Magazine Checklists

Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine

Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine is one of the longest-running crime magazines, having recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary (and 600th issue). For most of its life it has been a digest magazine, changing briefly to a larger format from May 1957 through January 1958. Although Hitchcock gave his name to the magazine, signed the brief editorial introductions, and appeared on the cover for twenty-five years, he never really had any direct involvement with the magazine.

There have been two brief runs of a British reprint edition and an Australian reprint edition, mainly under the name Alfred Hitchcock's Suspense Magazine.

Note that there were no issues #1 - #11, nor an Apr-1957.

Alfred Hitchcock's Suspense/Mystery Magazine (Australia)

The history of the Australian edition of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine is somewhat confusing and still possibly not entirely uncovered:

the first four issues were digests entitled Alfred Hitchcock's Suspense Magazine, were partial reprints of the US issues, were numbered #1 to #4 and were published by Hitchcock Publications
the next seven issues followed its US counterpart in switching to a larger size, changed it's name to Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and were complete reprints of the US issues numbered #5 to #11, with some issues being labelled as v2 as well. These were also published by Hitchcock Publications and may have continued for another issue or longer (though I think not).
there was then a gap of some months before the magazine restarted, again as a digest under the name Alfred Hitchcock's Suspense Magazine and now published by Magazine Enterprises. The first known issue in this sequence is v3 #4, June 1958 but it is clear that the numbering is taken from the US issue that was (partially) reprinted rather than a continuation of the previous Australian numbering. Subsequent issues went back and reprinted from the remaining "large format" US issues so there are likely to be at most two earlier issues in this sequence (if any).
