Exklusiv bei Albatross gab's noch die (zweifarbige) Kennzeichnung Grau und Grün für den Albatross Mystery Club.
Bis Kriegsausbruch wurden bei Albatross (Hamburg, Leipzig, Paris & Bologna) ca. 450 Bände veröffentlicht, danach war erst mal Pause. Nach dem Krieg wurde 1947 auf Initiative englischer Verleger der Versuch einer Wiederbelebung gestartet (The Albatross LTD, London and Paris, imprimé en Italie), dessen Erfolg allerdings nur von kurzer Dauer war. Die letzten Bände erschienen 1950 (The Albatross, Rome, imprimé en Italie), dann war endgültig Schluß ...
Vergleichbare Projekte fanden noch in Schweden (Zephyr Books 1942-1950) und in der Schweiz (Phoenix Books) statt.
