True Detective Mysteries was founded in 1924 by publisher Bernarr Macfadden.[1] It initially focused on mystery fiction, with a mix of non-fiction crime stories. In the 1930s, Macfadden realized the popularity of the non-fiction pieces and gradually phased out fiction. As such, True Detective Mysteries became the first true crime magazine.[2] In 1941, Macfadden changed the name to True Detective, emphasizing the magazine's move away from mystery fiction.[3]
True Detective's non-fiction stories retained some of the tone and style of noir fiction and mystery writing, laying the ground for subsequent true crime genre conventions.[1] The magazine had few ambitions to purvey serious literature, although it did publish early work by respected writers like Dashiell Hammett, Jim Thompson, and Ann Rule, among others.[4] It appealed to the same working class audience as its pulp fiction competitors and became a massive hit, evidently selling around 2 million copies per month in the 1930s and '40s. Its success inspired many imitators. MacFadden created a sister publication, Master Detective, and around 200 other true crime magazines emerged by the 1960s. Within the genre, True Detective was regarded as the standard bearer of quality and reliability.[5]
The pulp magazine industry declined in the 1960s, out-competed by television and increasingly cheap paperback books.[6] Many magazines went out of business. True Detective continued publication, though with increasingly sensational and sexualized content and declining quality. By the 1980s, it was one of only 11 true crime magazines still in print.[4] The magazine went through several publishers; in 1995, it was bought out by Globe Communications, which shuttered the magazine.[1][4] After the American magazine shut down, British publishers continued True Detective under a new format, with an increased focus on Australian, European, and historical crimes.[4]
True Detective began in 1924 as True Detective Mysteries. No issue copyright renewals were found for this serial. The first copyright-renewed contribution is from March 1939. (More details) Its title shortened to True Detective in 1941. The original American magazine ceased publication in the 1990s, though some editions outside the US continued for some time afterwards.

Thankfully, publishers Jilly Paddock and Dave Brzeski stepped in and picked it up for their press, Cathaven Press and the magazine would continue, now as Occult Detective Magazine with a new logo. John Linwood Grant would continue as editor, along with Dave.

NICK CARTER Volume 1: "Marked for Death" and "The Impossible Theft"
The premier detective hero returns in two intriguing pulp thrillers by Richard Wormser and T.C. McClary writing as "Nick Carter." First, the legendary American sleuth who predates Sherlock Holmes is reborn into the hard-boiled 1930s in "Marked for Death," the debut novel from the rare first issue of DOC SAVAGE's sister pulp! Then, what is the bizarre connection between an East Indian idol and the disappearance of a quarter-million dollars within a bank? Nick Carter needs all his sleuthing skills to uncover the truth. BONUS: Nick Carter confronts "The Strange Dr. Devolo" in the first radio script by THE SHADOW's Walter Gibson, plus a Golden Age comic book classic from SHADOW COMICS! This double-novel collector's edition includes both classic color pulp covers by Jerome Rozen, Amos Sewell's original interior illustrations and historical commentary by J. Randolph Cox, Will Murray and Anthony Tollin. (Sanctum Books) 978-1-60877-098-4 Softcover, 7x10, 128 pages, B&W, $14.95
Occult Detective Quarterly has changed its name to Occult Detective Magazine and, not surprisingly, hand-in-hand with that comes a change in frequency. The last issue, Occult Detective Quarterly #5, was published on January 15, 2019; editor John Linwood Grant tells me issue #6 was released in print on 12th December, and will be available for Kindle in January.
The big change this issue, however, has nothing to do with frequency. The magazine tragically lost its publisher Sam Gafford to a massive heart attack earlier this year, and there were serious questions about whether it would be able to continue at all. The editorial team of Grant and Dave Brzeski deserve a great deal of thanks for the heroic effort it must have taken to produce this issue under extraordinary circumstances. The issue bears this heartfelt dedication:
Occult Detective Quarterly is edited by John Linwood Grant and Dave Brzeski. Issues are $12.95 each; subscriptions are not currently available (far as I can tell, anyway). Get more details at Greydogtales.
Most critics cite BLACK MASK MAGAZINE as the fertile ground where hardboiled detective fiction gathered its form. From 1923 through 1931, it reigned supreme as the home of the genre. Then, in 1931, Henry Steeger and Harold Goldsmith of Popular Publications introduced DIME DETECTIVE MAGAZINE. Costing a nickel less than BLACK MASK, its appeal to the cash-strapped consumers of the Great Depression was hard to dispute. As Stefan Dziemianowicz wrote in his introduction to HARD-BOILED DETECTIVES (1992):
It is time to share the news about two of my stories that are now available for order! The first features my mystery man Feril Nightlinger and the second features my new kinda-sorta occult detective Angel Neighbours.

We are a magazine of many styles and approaches. We love both old-style and modern, cutting edge weird fiction, and we love folk horror; we embrace unashamed arcane adventure, and we also draw gritty noir mysteries into our domain.

You will receive the first new issue released after your order has been processed by the publisher. Depending on a magazine's publishing schedule and frequency (i.e. when the next issue will be released) this will typically mean your first issue will arrive in 2 to 6 weeks. Lower frequency titles, such as quarterly or bi-monthly, may be longer. Christmas Gift Subscriptions will start with the first issue released after Christmas.
It might seem a little contradictory for a gangster to be going around collecting every dime detective magazine in Mafia Definitive Edition, but these are just one set of collectibles tucked away in this vast open world. If you want to build up your collection of pulp magazines for that Lending Library trophy/achievement, we'll spill the beans on all the dime detective magazine locations.
Some of these magazines require you to reach certain chapters in the story because they are located in areas of the map you need to unlock, and you can't find every single one until at least chapter 20. Any that require you to be in a specific chapter to get can be obtained after the fact using chapter select. Each of the 20 magazines will be listed by number and title so you can check them against any you may have already picked up.
This magazine has to be grabbed during chapter 19 at the point where Tommy is in North Park's Grand Imperial Bank. Go up to the second floor via the staircase on the left and you'll find it in the first office on the left.
At the very north end of Central Island go inside the Lost Heaven State Prison and make your way to the top floor. Pull the switch to open all the cell doors and go to the fourth one down on your right, which should have a big pink chair out front. Walk inside to pick up this magazine.
You need to collect this issue during chapter 14 when you are on the ship. On the top deck, find the set of three barrels around the side of the cabin with a table and chair set up next to them. The mag is on the table.
Our next magazine is found in the Works Quarter's Federal Customs Impound on the bottom left corner of the map. Go up to the second floor and head into the office. Look on the desk closest to the window.
Once again in the Hotel Corleone, go all the way to the top floor and into any of the rooms with an open window you can use to access the roof. Hop over the wooden planters and this magazine will be on the circular table.
