MacKill’s Mystery Magazine (US) (about)

US reprint edition of MacKill’s Mystery Magazine (US). Initially these were just the UK editions with an overprinted price, but no issue was published in March 1953 and from April 1953 on there were specific US editions with the same volume/issue number but different cover dates (and, occasionally, different cover art). The title was changed on the cover only to MacKill’s for the last five issues.

Mammoth Detective (about)

Mammoth Detective was the older of the two mystery-detective pulp magazines published by Ziff-Davis, and weighed in initially with a massive 322 pages per issue and a planned monthly schedule. However the paper shortages during the war forced an irregular schedule closer to quarterly and a reduction in page count to 178 pages. After the war it briefly attained a monthly schedule but by then the writing was on the wall and it folded in late 1947 after a total of 33 issues.
