DC's Holmes comic was credited to "Mr. Dennis O'Neill, and Mr. E.R. Cruz, esquires", and Cruz was brought back to illustrate the Detective Comics tale(by Mike W. Barr) a decade later. That lone issue(containing a loose adaptation of Holmes's 'death and ressurection' in 'The Final Problem' and 'The Empty House' had an unsigned text page discussing the character's 'non-canonical' appearances in various media(up to 1975). There was an approximate on-sale date for the second issue(the customary small print at the bottom of the last page), but no information about what it would have contained.

Weird... and when you think about all the thought, planning and "Showcase"-type appearances DC used to do before releasing a #1. In fact, they even had a neo-Showcase comic when Holmes came out called First Issue Special. |

I always thought one was 'Mister' or an 'Esquire', but not both. |

Emily Post says, “Esquire” is a professional designation in the legal arena—not a social designation. When you correspond with a lawyer, you have two choices: Write the person using a normal salutation (“Mr. Robert Jones” or “Ms. Cynthia Adams”) or put “Esquire” after the name, using the abbreviated form of “Esq.” (“Robert Jones, Esq.” or “Cynthia Adams, Esq.”) You would never use both the courtesy title of Mr. or Ms. and the professional designation of Esquire.
However, the British used Esq. as a title showing status, not necessarily for lawyers. O'Neil may have been just ahving fun with the Victorian atmosphere. Still, I don't think you'd use both Mr. and Esq. in the Victorian Era, either.
