The Saint Detective Magazine was launched in Spring 1953 and published a story in each issue featuring Leslie Charteris' Saint, after whom the magazine was named. The title was changed to The Saint Mystery Magazine as of Nov-1958 and to The Saint Magazine as of May-1966. The new name didn't last long and the magazine folded in October 1967 after a very creditable 141 issues.

It was briefly revived in 1984, but only managed a meagre three issues before folding. Much more successful were the overseas editions - a British Edition also ran for 141 issues, initially just reprinting material from the US magazine, but later publishing original material of its own. There were also 62 issues of an Australian reprint edition, but these were actually identical to the first 62 issues of the British Edition (which was printed in Australia) except for having different dates, prices and indicia.

There were also two hybrid magazines, which are often thought of as anthologies - The Saint's Choice ran for 7 issues in 1945/46, while the Saint Mystery Library ran for 14 issues in 1959/60.
