Mystery League   (about) Created by “Ellery Queen” (Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee) just three years after their first successful book, Mystery League was an attempt to produce a magazine that would publish only quality fiction. While the quality was indeed high, so was the price and with the state of the economy at the time it was doomed from the start and folded after only four issues. A fifth issue was assembled, but not printed. Publishers: Mystery League Publishers, Inc.; 4600 Diversey Avenue, Chicago, IL: Mystery League. Editors: Ellery Queen - Editor: Mystery League.
