Description: Trade PB. 8vo. Published by Red Star News Company, New York. 1940. 112 pgs. Text in double column. Illustrated. Issued in stapled wraps. Wrappers worn with some shelf-wear to the extremities present (some light pencil work present to the front wrapper, edges are chipped and worn, small chip present to the rear wrapper). Book is free of ownership marks. Bit of basement smell present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Featuring fiction by: Joseph Fulling Fishman, Death Elects a Governor by Frank Gruber. While Detective Fiction Weekly is one of the most reasonably priced detective pulp magazines today, putting together a collection of them is somewhat onerous. With predecessors and successors, the magazine ran as a weekly for about eighteen years, then went monthly for several more years, making the complete run about one thousand mags. It began eighty years ago as Flynn’s, within two years it was called Flynn’s Weekly, then a year later Flynn’s Weekly Detective Fiction. It was finally reborn as DFW in 1928 until WWII paper shortages in 1942 caused its change to a monthly named Flynn’s Detective, soon to be stretched to Flynn’s Detective Fiction until it stopped in 1944. There was a six-issue rebirth in 1951 as Detective Fiction.
