Recently, I’ve been seeing an increasing number of reprints from Black Mask, the hard-boiled crime fiction magazine magazine. Black Mask was the magazine that first published authors like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, the creators of the American private eye story. Otto Penzler, the editor of the Black Mask series of reprints, talks about it in this video.
Today, issues of Black Mask at it’s peak routinely sell above 100$, putting it out of reach for most people. Thankfully, the reprints aren’t priced so high and they’re pulling out the best stories from Black Mask.
The first two books are recent reprints, and the third is _the_ definitive collection of stories from Black Mask.
