Sherlock Holmes Ad - Marvel

sgMarvel had high hopes for their Sherlock Holmes adaptations that they ran in some of their black and white magazines, like Marvel Preview.

It didn't quite work out that way, but this is a nice ad!

Rob-

One of the DC guys can chime in - but was any of this Rights-related?

I remember the '70's Holmes mini-boom; tons of pastiche pb's; b & w mags; & DC's color comic.

Lots of folks evidently thought The Great Detective was lapsing into Public Domain; but though the first stories were hitting that age, The Doyle Estate actually still had to be dealt with.

STILL does...
