Of the many pulp magazines that were published in the 1930s, Ten Detective Aces was one of the most popular. First started in 1930 as The Dragnet Magazine and focusing on gangsters, the title was changed, after three issues, to Detective-Dragnet. In 1933, the magazine abandoned the gangster genre, focused on detective stories, and changed its title one last time to Ten Detective Aces. Ten Detective Aces ran for 16 years, ceasing publication in 1949.
The covers of Ten Detective Aces were sometimes surreal and always exciting. Take a look at a few of them below:
