SHERLOCK HOLMES #1 COMIC BOOK
RARE and OUT OF PRINT COLLECTORS ITEM.
SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliant, eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes has been adapted numerous times in books, plays, movies, television, and comic books.
Sherlock Holmes has been one of the best-loved mystery detectives for over a century. He first appeared in the 1887 story, “A Study in Scarlet,” penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story was a great success, and subsequent stories propelled Doyle and his detective to stardom.
In 1975, DC presented its version of Sherlock’s adventures in comic form. Issue #1 of this series presented two entire Sherlock Holmes mysteries: “The Final Problem” and “The Riddle of the Empty House.” The former story was meant to be Sherlock Holmes’ last adventure, ending with Holmes plummeting off an icy cliff along with his arch-enemy, Professor James Moriarty. Public outcry eventually led Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to resurrect Holmes much later, in “The Riddle of the Empty House.”
Strangely, this series lasted just one issue, even though its final page promised a second issue.
THIS ITEM WAS NOT SOLD IN ANY MASS MARKET RETAIL OUTLETS AND WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN COMIC BOOK SPECIALTY STORES.
Published in 1975 by DC COMICS
