Headquarters Detective eBook
May 1936
 
Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
 
Headquarters Detective was a rather unusual item in the history of pulp magazines. It began as a totally different type of magazine when it debuted in January 1929 under the title Sky Birds. It featured stories of derring-do in the WWI skies over France and Germany. And it stayed that way for seventy-four issues until December 1935. At that point, it made a radical change of direction, and was retitled Headquarters Detective. Ace Magazines, publisher of Headquarters Detective, were seeing sales drop as tensions in Europe rose, and interest in the old bi-planes waned. They were having great success with its line of other detective pulps... titles like Capt. Hazzard, Lone Wolf Detective, Spy Novels, Secret Agent X and Gold Seal Detective. So the Sky Birds title was dropped and Headquarters Detective took its place. Filled with action, the headquarters police were pitted against underworld thugs in thrilling gun battles. But unfortunately, this too failed to garner a sufficient number of readers, and after six more issues, Headquarters Detective was discontinued. There had been 80 issues of the two combined titles. Headquarters Detective returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
