A facsimile reprint of the very first issue of Sherlock Holmes Comics, a short-lived attempt to move the Sherlock Holmes stories into comics format. Originally released by Charlton Comics in October 1955, this issue features the stories "Final Curtain," "Love Thy Neighbor," "Sherlock Holmes and the Star of the East," all featuring Holmes; and "Smashing the Spook Racket," in which Dr. Neff (the Original Ghost-Breaker) teams with Inspector O'Malley. Plus, in order to qualify as having literary merit (so they could use discounted postal rates for mailing copies to subscribers), there is an uncredited 2-page mystery short story, "Tough Guy." All told, an interesting issue sure to delight Sherlock Holmes readers, fans, and collectors.
