Published as a direct challenge to Spicy Detective Stories, the stories in Vice-Squad Detective were even sexier and it is believed that most copies were seized by police prior to distribution, which may explain why there was no second issue. Although dated as 1933 by many authorities, its publication was noted in the July 1935 issue of Author & Journalist.

The first series was published from 1940 to 1942, numbered sequentially, but with each individual issue carrying the name of an individual magazine. The series mixed reprints with original stories probably depending on how much space there was left in each issue.
The second series, published in 1943/1944, were digest-sized and were explicitly labelled Yankee Shorts as well as a separate title such as Romance Shorts and Western Shorts and a number. In this series, however, the issues were numbered as sequels to the equivalent title in the first series. whether these numbers represented a second generic series, or if each was numbered as a sequel to the first series.
