$30
Shipped from Taschen

Before true crime became a podcast, it was a magazine — and this is where it all began. TASCHEN’s True Crime Detective Magazines traces the genre from its Jazz Age origins in 1924 through five decades of Prohibition gangsters, Great Depression outlaws, and the slow slide into gun-toting femme fatales on every cover, with hundreds of images from dozens of titles and texts by collector Eric Godtland, George Hagenauer, and True Detective editor Marc Gerald. A fascinating document of America’s evolving appetite for sex, sin, and punishment.
