New York: RGH Publishing, 1988, 1991. Two vintage mystery & crime magazines, both feature alluring pin-up cover photography of models as femme fatales. B/W throughout, color wrapper, 98pp. Uncommon series, presumably only a handful of issues published, released as "Collector's Items" from the start, annual anthology selections from "True Detective" magazine. Reminiscent of like mags from years prior, similar in layout & content, w/ novelty ads throughout, & just as sensational. Many pieces are edited to include fake names of victims/suspects: "Fictitious names have been used because there is no reason for public interest in the identities of these persons."
