Mystery LeagueCountry: USTotal Issues: 4
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.
