Blue Steel Magazine (about)

Something of a puzzle since this magazine began with Vol. 1 No. 2 and the second issue is Vol. 1 No. 4. Steeger says it was an experiment to supplant Gang World though that magazine picked up sales and continued regardless. The two issues are the same as the February 1932 and April 1932 issues of Gang World.

Publishers: Popular Publications, Inc.; 205 East 42nd Street, New York, NY.
