The first comic in a possible series devoted to Sherlock Holmes and his friends, it was unfortunately canceled after the first one issue. The DC Sherlock Holmes series now rests on a dusty shelf among the other series that could have been.
Although this was the only issue, Sherlock would appear again in The Joker #6 (4/76).
Interestingly, in Doc Savage #1 by Curtis Magazines (an imprint of Marvel), which is dated August of 1975, there is an ad for a Sherlock Holmes comic soon to start at Marvel. It is possible DC used this one-shot to beat Marvel to the punch.
