Detective Yarns Magazine was published from 1938 to 1941.  It featured detective stories from some of the best and the worst writers of the era.  Eventually, it was renamed Black Hood Detective.  Then it was called Hooded Detective.  Over the next 16 years it was called Crack Detective, Crack Detective Stories, Famous Detective, Famous Detective Stories, and finally Crack Detective And Mystery Stories.

Whatever the title, the tough guy and sexy dame content remained the same.  Here are a few of the covers of Detective Yarns Magazine.
