Long before CSI and the motherload of "true" crime television that's popped up over the last decade or so, there were true crime magazines to satisfy a nation's craving for stories of murder, revenge and justice.

Herein are a handful of those true crime magazines, scanned and posted for your downloading pleasure. Enjoy!

Please note that not all of these magazines were scanned by yours truly. Also, if you're feeling particularly generous, please drop some change in the ole tip jar to keep this train runnin'.  Thanks!

    The cover of master detective 1955:
    Man: "Honey can you help me my back went out and my foot is stuck in this rock and this big wave just hit me and is about to pull me under."
    Woman: "Oh, can't you do it yourself? I'm carrying this heavy beach towel".
