Double Action Detective (and Mystery) Stories

Double Action Detective Stories was a pulp magazine in every way but size, at a time when the competition had moved on to more sophisticated material. Initially published only twice a year (although the issues weren't dated), it shifted to a quarterly schedule after the fifth issue, and then to a bimonthly schedule the following year, changing its name at much the same time to Double Action Detective and Mystery Stories. However, it never really found its market and folded after 22 (or 24) issues - the last two issues listed below may not actually exist.
