Continuing with our 85th Anniversary celebrations, we’re pleased to share with you a glimpse into the collection of Tom Takach, an EQMM collector and longtime fan. Here you’ll find images of first first EQ appearances in newspapers, magazines, and comic books (both from the 1940s); the first issue of The Mystery League (1930s); the Big Little books from the 40s; Ellery Queen board game: The Case of the Elusive Assassin, An Ellery Queen Mystery Game (1960s), and more!
