The digest-sized ''Man from U.N.C.L.E. Magazine'' featured original [[novella]] continuing the adventures of Solo and Kuryakin. Published under the house name "Robert Hart Davis", they were written by such authors as [[John Jakes]], [[Dennis Lynds]], and [[Bill Pronzini]]. 24 issues, which also offered original crime and spy-fiction short stories and novelettes, and occasional SF and fantasy reprints under the title "Department of Lost Stories", ran monthly from February 1966 to January 1968. An additional novella entitled "The Vanishing City Affair" was advertised on page 140 of the January 1968 issue for the proposed (but never published) February 1968 issue. It is as yet unconfirmed, however, if this novella was shelved for possible future release elsewhere or if it was ever written at all.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}
