In the 1990s, Greek pulp fan Dimitri "Jim" Hanos published an assortment of pulp reprints in a small format with color covers, sometimes as the Athenian Readers Club. These were released with print runs of 200 or less and many made it to America. This issue features "The Black Bat Strikes Again" by G. Wayman Jones from the Nov. 1939 (Vol. 10 #1) issue of Black Book Detective. This is reprinted using the original pulp pages and therefore has very small type because of the reduced format. 4 3/4-in. x 7-in., 88 pages, black and white. Cover price $2.00.

Vol. 1 No. 1. Collector's Issue. An attempt by the publisher to relaunch Black Mask fiction in a brand new series, but the series never went beyond the first issue. The "Exact Reproduction" label seen on the cover is misleading. This is not an exact reproduction of any particular previous Black Mask issue; it only 'reproduces' fiction from the original series. Reprints include: A Columbo story, "Donovan's Brain", by Curt Siodmak, "Women, Politics, and Murder" by Dashiell Hammett, "Gone Girl" by Ross MacDonald, "Scotty Scouts Around" by Raoul Whitfield, "The Magician Murder" by Ramon Decolta, and "Abominable" by Fredric Brown. Also includes an interview with pulp cover artist Rafael DeSoto among other features. Softcover digest, 6 1/2-in. x 9 1/4-in., 96 pages, newsprint, black and white text with illustrations. Cover price $1.00.
