Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. Vol. 1, No. 12, December 1956

I have for some time, since the success of my television show “Alfred Hitchcock Presents...”, twiddled with the thought of doing a fast-paced, modern suspense magazine containing all new stories — stories that I like and feel the public will like. But, the twiddling went on — and on; I never quite “got to it.” Then one evening I was sitting at home minding my own business... when the telephone rang. The caller inquired if I might be interested in sponsoring a magazine to be entitled ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S MYSTERY MAGAZINE.

Well now, suspense is my business and I replied that I might be interested — the culmination of such a project contingent upon the experience of the publishers in the mystery-fiction field. As we talked I learned that the call emanated from the office of the publishers of MANHUNT, America’s best selling crime-fiction magazine. We got together and...

Here it is... ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S MYSTERY MAGAZINE, to entertain, titillate and surprise you. We hope you have a shuddering good time!
