Title: The Fox and The Crow
Post by: leatherneckco on July 18, 2012, 06:24:05 AM
I hope someday someone will load the comic Fox and the Crow.  I loved that one when I was young, still do!

You won't see this on DCM. It was published by DC, which means it is still copyrighted and not public domain.

While we wouldn't post it here since we don't post ANY DC, even the handful of early books that weren't renewed, this was a licensed title and might have a different copyright renewal chain.  Probably still a no go, but would be interesting to know.

Don't know about the renewal chain, but looking it up, found renewal notices for 106 of the 108 issues, did not see 13 or 91

Eric's right.  Since it was a Screen Gems property, it's very likely that Sony owns any copyrights, today.

If you want to read fox & crow comics, there are quite a few online, mostly on people's blogs. Just do an image search for: "the fox and the crow" comic blog
Of course, most (if not all) such sites violate copyrights by posting the comics.

Did the owners of Fox and Crow actually renew them? Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comics are PD but not Jerry Lewis. Is that true for all the D and J or just so many of them?

Who knows? (Personally, I don't even know where to begin to look up such things.)

They did star in 3 different series though, so it's possible that even if one or two were renewed, the remaning one/s might not have been.

The Fox and the Crow
Comic Cavalcade
Real Screen Funnies/Real Screen Comics/TV Screen Cartoons

Eric's right.  Since it was a Screen Gems property, it's very likely that Sony owns any copyrights, today.

The Fox and The Crow # 91 has a renewal filed by DC Comics (who filed the renewals for the other 106 issues, not Screen Gems or Sony).  It's registered as being titled "The fox and crow. No. 91" and so it doesn't show-up in online searches for "The Fox and The Crow".

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comics are PD but not Jerry Lewis. Is that true for all the D and J or just so many of them?

"The Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis" have renewals filed by Paramount Pictures Corporation for issues 1-27, 29 and 37.  Where did you read that the entire series was Public Domain?  Sounds like someone is giving-out bad information that needs to be corrected.

Probably by someone who looked in the wrong place. The Jerry renewals were found but not the Dean and Jerry. So 28, and 30-36 are public domain.
