RARA-AVIS: Hammett bibliography (Long post)
According to A COMPREHENSIVE INDEX TO BLACK MASK, 1920-1951 (Popular Press,
1982), compiled by E. R. Hagemann, "Black Mask" was originally called "The
Black Mask" since the April 1920 issue. Then early in 1927, "The" was
dropped. In 1950, it became "Black Mask Detective." and the final issue
(the July 1951 issue) carried "Black Mask Detective Magazine," when
Dashiell Hammett was no longer writing.
Incidentally, Joseph T. Shaw took over the editorship since the November
1926 issue till the November 1936. Maybe it was Shaw's idea to drop "The"
from the magazine name.
Richard Layman has a Hammett bibliography in the appendix of SHADOW MAN
(Harcourt Brace, 1981).
Hammett's first pulp story is:
"Immortality" (10 Story Book, November 1922) (under a pseudonym)
And other stories:
"The Barber and His Wife" (Brief Stories, December 1922) (as Peter Collinson)

Collinson)

"On the Way" (Harper's Bazaar, March 1932)
"A Man Called Spade" (American Magazine, July 1932)
"Too Many Have Lived" (American magazine, October 1932)
"They Can Only Hng You Once (Collier's, November 1932)

"Tulip" (THE BIG KNOCKOVER; Random House, 1966)
No, I don't have any of these magazines. I am still looking for Richard
Layman's DASHIELL HAMMETT: A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY (1979).
