Saturday Leftover Day.
It's too well kknown among fans to be called a rarity, but Frank Giacoia's Sherlock Holmes (which ran as a newspaper stip in the mid fifties) has never been properly republished. There was a comic book reprint version of the dailies and a smaal black and white book of the Sundays, but that was far from compleet and the Sunday derserve to be seen in color. The Sundays are pretty hard to come by, though. Today I have three new scattered ones from the back of another strip (along with the two or three I have shown here earlier). Giacoia was a notorious procatrinator and often used his friends at DC (people such as Carmine Infantino, Gil Kane and Kine Sekowsky) to help him out.

Yes You Kane
Saturday Leftover Day.
To continue my Frank Giacioa theme, here is another of his Sherlock Holmes pages, I had scanned in earlier. As I said, the complete strip was reprinted completely by Malibu in the late eighties. Two stories were reprinted recently by Transfuzion, who are stressing the fact that the stories were pencilled by Mike Sekowsky and Gil Kane (even though Sekowsky did the first stories and Kan did some work on the last, but no one knows who did what precisely) and have horribly mangled the strips to be the first 'to present them in graphic novel form). Go and have a look at Amazon for yourself, if you dare.
